Game will not start
Hello,
I've tried just about everything to get the game to start, everything from deleting and reinstalling the game to troubleshooting with different versions. It refuses to start, staying at a blank or black screen not responding. I don't understand what else I can do, please help?

I've tried to install the newest intel driver, but my computer apparently hates it and I do have NVIDIA GeForce as well. I've also seen that SR Great War works while Ultimate does not.

Re: Game will not start
Which NVIDIA card are you running? We haven't updated the game in a few years, but I always get nervous that a graphics card manufacturer will change something in a newer drier that conflicts with the game.

I'm not the best at computer things, but I think its NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU. Not sure where to find it other than that.

k, I'll ask on our discord channel if anyone has that card. We've got no other reports like this, so not sure what to suggest.

Re: Game will not start
Hi, I've got the same card and installed todays driver and the game works for me. I do have an AMD CPU though. I updated to a NVIDIA driver that only came out today so maybe its worth giving it an update and another go?

I don't see an update for today, the last one my computer can find was the one released on 2/14/22. I have an Intel CPU, but I'm not sure if that is the problem.

The CPU won't matter. We have lost of users on both Intel and AMD processors.
In the game manual's troubleshooting section, it suggests;

Have you tried that? Here's a screenshot of what the General Settings options would look like;Launch game with the '-window' parameter to resets the graphics.

I had the options activated, and then I tried the -window part and it still gave me a black screen but windowed. And I'm using that driver as well.

Re: Game will not start
At this point I'm unsure what more we could suggest. We have determined that the video card is compatible and no one else is reporting an issue like this. Based on all this, we have no reason to believe the game software is the source of the problem.

Re: Game will not start
Alright, thanks for helping. I'll troubleshoot some more and see if anything works. I'll let you know if I get it up and running again.
