    the game wont start?

    I had the same issue when I installed the game from disk the first time. I've run the dxdiag tests, all of them passed. Anyway, thanks for all the help. I doubt I would have ever found the problem on my own. :onya2 Got a looooong download ahead of me. Edit: No issues at all after installing...

    the game wont start?

    Yeah, I gather that from reading those logs... on investigation, the resource folders are, in fact, utterly empty. (Edit: Correction, only the models and textures folders are empty. Subfolders are there, just no files at all.) :ok This is definitely something I didn't think to check for. I...

    I've never used ffdshow since I wiped my computer last, it causes more problems than it solves. But, yes, the game has actually created those log files now. It didn't before... the error.log file is missing though. Progress! :ohh

    the game wont start?

    That didn't do it either. I don't get it, I've checked for everything. Hard drive problems, memory problems, corrupted files in the OS, updated windows, drivers, codecs, motherboard failures, fragmentation, too many background processes, reinstall in different locations, all config...

    the game wont start?

    I've already tried using a noCD, and a mini-image. Neither changed anything. Windows XP (SP3) AMD Athlon X2 (5400+, 2.8Ghz, two cores) 3GB RAM (DDR2) Nvidia GeForce 9400 GT C-Media CMI8738/C3DX PCI (sound card) I attached a dxdiag on the previous page to my first post if you need more...

    Exact same error again... :E

    I tried your engine.ini, but I got the same error again.

    In hindsight I should have created a new thread rather than hijacked this one, heheh. (There's a screenshot of my source of woes near the end of the first page.)

    the game wont start?

    Any particular settings I should try? The error is still exactly the same no matter what I've done so far (rigging.dll, etc).

    the game wont start?

    I already do this with almost every game I have. Disks are a pita to keep in good shape, a 1tb HD not so much. :nk

    the game wont start?

    I am the only user, so yes, admin account. Turning off my AV didn't change anything at all. I'm blessed with one that doesn't interfere with anything. :g1 The disk is pristine. Yes, I do have several HDs, I'll try that now. I'll also try defragging before installing it again (I've got...

    the game wont start?

    No mods. I've edited one file to toggle on debug files (didn't work beforehand either). The log files aren't being created though... engine.ini - "debuginfo = 1" Yes, I've tried running from both (shortcut/start.exe). I don't have W7, I'm using XP (with old-style windows theme, heh). I'll try...

    the game wont start?

    Anyone have an idea on what's wrong? I'm dying to get my Yarr on. I'd really appreciate the help, this is confusing me to no end.

    If it helps...

    the game wont start?

    I have a similar CTD on startup. Though, I get it after the intro movies are finished, and the loading screen has appeared (might be relevant, the spinning skull doesn't appear). Attached screenshot of the error and dxdiag. Edit: (I disabled the Nero codecs already, I have problems with them...
