Hello,
The game instantly crashes. No compatibility settings will male it work. It generates a crash dump but I can't tell what makes it crash.

Here are the errors.

Why is it talking about Steam???

Could not initialize the native Steamworks API. This is usually caused by a missing steam_appid.txt file or if the Steam client is not running.

CoherentUI_Native.dll caused an Access Violation (0xc0000005)

The Steam bit is a red herring - it comes from the fact that the developers are using the same codebase for the Steam build, so of course it tries to connect to Steam. It *can't*, because the necessary information to do so is not part of the GOG distribution. Effectively, that part doesn't actually mean anything.

The *actual* issue is this bit: The game uses a library called CoherentUI, and apparently, it's crashing on your system for some reason - why, I don't know.

You could try to force OpenGL mode by modifying the shortcut to the game to add the command-line parameter "-force-opengl" (i.e. C:\path\to\game\LarryReloaded.exe -force-opengl) - maybe you have a DirectX issue on your system and the change in graphics mode will make it work. No guarantees, though.

If that doesn't work, post your system specifications and maybe I (or someone else) will have further ideas. You can also try writing to support.

I am having the same issues. Forcing openGL did not work. Same error as listed in the original post below. Was a solution ever found?
