DRIVE will not run. Crashes on start up every time.

Downloaded 3 different times and installed it 4 different times. Made sure my PC drivers were up to date along with force updating DRIVE.
I have sent a few crash reports. I haven't even been able to get to the main menu, in game.

Here is my torque3D log:

The game looks great, cant wait to play it.

 

I was looking over the crash report it says that its not Using Direct3D9Ex: No Maybe that's the problem? . Maybe the dev's will chime in. Hope this helps

 

Game works for me and it's not using DX9Ex (for some reason).

I am at work so I cannot confirm my own logs, but it seems like the issue is that the main.cs level is missing?

What files are in:

C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\BeamNG\BeamNG-DRIVE-0.3\levels\If the main.cs file is in that directory then it could be a permissions problem. I'd suggest you go down the directory structure to:

C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\

Right click the BeamNG folder, click Properties and look at the permissions for the folder. If possible, change the permissions to be read/write by all users. Check that the folder isn't set to read only, if it is, change it so it isn't.

Failing all of this, right click the BeamNG shortcut in the Start menu and click 'Run as Administrator' and see if that helps. That should alleviate any permissions issue as well.

Let me know if you need a hand with sorting out any of this, more than happy to lend a hand.

 

Nope, if you had checked my log I posted you would have seen that I get the same error. Chawnseibert is crashing on DxDiag.

 

I'd still be keen to check the file permissions and also attempt to Run as Administrator.

Another thing, Chawnseibert, you could try is downloading the DirectX installer from: http://www.microsoft.com/en-au/download/details.aspx?id=35 and installing that and see if that assists.

 

Xphome, I changed the folders permissions. Still no luck :/
spoonalious, I updated DirectX after the first failed attempt :/
Also ran as administrator... the only thing i can think of, is that my
graphics card is too old. its a GTX 9800.

 

The GTX9800 fits within the minimum specifications, so that shouldn't be it.

Before you reinstalled the drivers, did you do a 'clean' remove of the old drivers? Eg, followed the instructions available at http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_13955.html

 

The latest driver uninstalled previous drivers but I can try a complete manual uninstall. Any other ideas to add?
