Game fails to boot. (Solved)

[Scouse]

Hi everyone,

 

Used to play this game a long time ago and decided to give it a boot. Nothing but a cmd box that shortly vanishes with nothing to show for it.

I have uninstalled all the Vredist on my PC and reinstalled them all. - didnt solve the problem

Someone in another thread suggested deleting the options.ini - that also didnt work

I've reinstalled it on different drives and restarted multiple times - didnt fix it.

 

I'd greatly appreciate the help as I'd like to play this with a friend who just bought it

Try to update your graphics card driver, some old models graphics card may cause this issue.

Seems there was an issue with my driver, after uninstalling and re-installing it the game booted perfectly! Now to see how I died!

 

Thanks!
