quote: ORIGINAL: ColinFrancis Well boys, I have given yup trying to start on my main games rig, Win 8, three months old, very powerful box. Went back to a three year old Vista laptop. I installed DW 1.00 no problems, the updated with Return of Shakhturi...still startedK. After Legend it would not start. Never bothered with Shadows. I don't know what the problem is, the dump file was as shown above in my previous post. Hi Colin The error you posted above indicates a problem with the installation - you are missing some required image files. You should reinstall Legends and try again. Thanks Elliot

Thanks Elliot

Thanks Elliot I don't have a file called DW_crashdump.txt anywhere. The game doesn't crash, it just doesn't start-up after I click play? Is that why?

Posting here since there's a thread already. I have a problem with Distant Worlds: Shadows not starting. Distant Worlds and the previous expansions start up fine. Tried without and with the latest update. When attempting to start up the cursor changes to a loading cursor, then back, and nothing more. I checked in the task manager, and I found a Distant Worlds process. I tried starting directly via the executable instead of the launcher, same result. There's no crash file in AppData/Roaming/Code Force Limited/Distant Worlds. I leave my dxdiag file in this post as well.

Hi All Have the same problem. Hadn't played for a while and when I clicked on play nothing happened. Uninstalled all three (Distant Words, Return of the Shakturi and Legends) and just reinstalled the base game. Same problem! Using OS windows 7 64 bit professional. I've attached the dump file in the hope someone can decipher. Hope someone can help Regards Alan

Ok sorted, I didn't have windows media player activated! Many thanks to Matrix support for a VERY quick reply and fix [&o] Regards Alan

Windows media player is activated, tried setting the Date & Time and keyboard to English (USA), AVG hasn't kidnapped any files. And I've reinstalled a couple of times. Repaired .NET 4.5.1 and the XNA thingy. Don't know what else to try. [&:]
