Hello, i recently bought the game and installed it.
I got a new PC, fresh install, Win7 64x, everything is installed (drivers, DX, VC++ redists etc., admin account, UAC disabled), installed the game, but when i start it, the screen goes black, like starting, for couple of seconds, then the game minimizes and nothing more happens.
Its icon stays in the task bar, if i click on it, again it goes full screen, black, for couple of seconds and then minimizes again and doesn't start.
It's a fresh new PC installed with everything and the game doesn't run, i feel quite disappointed.
I would appreciate any help and ideas would

Without knowing the technical details of your PC my first suggestion would be missing DX9 parts. In the game folder are two .exe, one for DX8, one for DX9.

Try both of them, if the DX8 version runs, get the latest DX9-Version directly from Microsoft. (As suggested in a thread from the 15th June 2014)

If both won't run, try compability mode (XP SP3 maybe)

If even that fails write again :)
The last thing I could imagine is the game bugs with the game path length OR with a standard C:\Program Files(x86)\-Path if used.

Edit: Anyway you should make sure to have the latest DX9-Version installed!

I've written in my post that i have everything installed.
Anyway, thank you for the suggestion. I actually solved the problem, by changing the registry settings for the resolution to match my desktop resolution. That was the problem.
Obviously the game couldn't start properly with the default settings which are different.
Thank you for you reply.

I've sometimes experienced some minor parts of DirectX libraries where missing for me (or maybe only older versions), so re-installing the latest version fixed my problems. That's why I suggested this :)

But I'm glad you fixed the problem :)
