ORIGINAL: Malakie Oddly enough, I have two systems, one runs DWU perfectly, the other does not. System #1 (DOES run the game perfectly): i7-3770s, 24 GB ram, GTX1080, SSD, Surround 7.1, Windows 10 running in 1920x1080 res System #2 (does NOT run the game): i9-9900k, 48 GB ram, GTX-1080ti Poseidon, STRIX Raid DLX 7.1 Surround, Windows 10 Running in 3840x2160 UHD 4K (NOTE: I have reduced resolution to 1920x1080 in an attempt to run the game) Symptoms: The game runs, generates a universe BUT the moment it starts the game where it normally pops up the game start dialog, it hangs a second with that dialog partially opened then CTD's. Have tried every trick in the book I can think of. I have tried compat settings, changing the resolution, scaling etc etc etc. Still no go. So has anyone figured out what is causing this issue? I just installed the game (from Steam) and also installed the Bacon mod with the RetreatUE on Windows 10 64bit on a Laptop with an Intel/Nvidia double graphics card, probably the most complicated setup to install any game on. My problem was three things that needed to be done... Step 1 in your "...\Steam\steamapps\common\Distant Worlds Universe" folder there is a text file called "startup.ini". In this file change... playmovie 1 to playmovie 0 Step 2 Install DirectX9... the files does not come with the Steam installation so use this one... https://www.microsoft.com/en-nz/download/details.aspx?id=8109 Step 3 I had to start the game with Administrator mode for the Bacon mod to load, but I don't think I needed to do that with the standard game. Most likely because the Bacon mod throw a modal popup when the exe is run. I hope this help for you too... < Message edited by Jorgen_CAB -- 11/6/2019 7:11:25 PM >
