Games Crashes on Start Up

Post by Virulent »

I've tried Verifying the Cache, Redownloading it, and most of what i can do. I had to factory reset my computer recently and ever since i redownloaded it, it wont run. Can't even get to the main menu. I'm about 90 percent sure its due to graphics running on a old computer. But the config file doesn't exist for me nor can get to the main menu to change the settings. I figured a way around this before but have no idea how to this time.

do you have speakers connected ?
(just in case - cause if sound is enabled (default) and i have no connected speakers, the game always crashes at start like you described)

We still haven't been able to recreate this issue btw, totally agree that it's the strangest thing I've heard in a while...

look here (my old post): http://www.bgforums.com/forums/viewtopi ... 84&t=25990
it is easy to reproduce - but i guess way more hard to find the cause.
Unless you find the cause, can you maybe include a check if speakers are connected and if not mute all sound output or at least mute those 2 soundoptions right at start, iin future updates?

To avoid confusion, I'm closing this thread and we can continue the discussion in the original thread.
