Game wont Launch

[grand hull]

looking for help, i have just installed the game and it wont launch. I get to the opening picture after the launcher and it wont go any farther. Minimum Requirements are far exceeded.

You do it by steam or by website? Also restart computer or whatever you play on then try again if not wait a couple of hours or a day.

i havent been able to download the game, i dont believe i have that file. i cant get past login after launcher installation

[pale patio]

what occurs on login ?

[regal axle]

i hit the login button and a big loading circle pops up on the right side of the launcher, and then thats it. i cant get past that part

can you try setting compat mode to xp sp 3 or win 7 first and see if any change

[regal axle]

that did nothing

@regal axle it might be easier to do a install via steam , that will install any missing windows packages like 2008 C++ etc in case that is causing what your seeing

[regal axle]

that did work, thanks. didnt want to have to use steam but i guess thats the only way

@regal axle normal install should work now too
