Crashing on startup
« on: December 02, 2017, 01:42:17 PM »
So I started playing Ra2 again recently after taking a break for a couple months, I had the 1.4 version installed from the link in GTM (you guys are awesome <3) and i had DSL 2.1 installed too, it all worked fine until i tried to load the game up last week with no changes, it opened a windowed black screen and showed the standard windows 10 error message, I restarted and reinstalled and still nothing works, drivers havent changed and are still current. any advice?

Try a different version of the game and see if it's just that version. If it is then your anti-virus might have removed one of the files thinking it's harmful during a scan (which happened to me once). If it's all versions then I don't know what to suggest.

Good to hear its not just me with the problem! I tried XP SP2 and SP3, still no luck. looks like im waiting for the minute, might try a different computer or something, it might be specific to just my PC

EDIT: I can confirm it is computer specific, It is running on my laptop! unfortunate, but i can still enjoy the game
