Can't Launch Dirty Bomb, Process Closes ~10 Seconds After Launch Attempt

(camelKey) #1

Hi, a few days ago I was playing Dirty Bomb (love it by the way) and my PC froze up, no problem, it’s happened a few times before, so I pressed the restart button on my PC. I reopened Steam and went to relaunch Dirty Bomb, when the game wouldn’t open. I checked Task Manager and the process appears for approximately 10 seconds and gathers CPU usage (around 18% maximum) and then the usage drops and the process disappears. The anti-cheat logo in the bottom right of the screen doesn’t even appear.

I’ve tried several things to remedy it:
Verifying game cache
Uninstalling, deleting the Dirty Bomb folder and then reinstalling
Running Steam and the game’s executable as admin
Running the game’s executable in compatibility mode for Windows 8.
Restarting my PC

Obviously, none of these solutions work, and the fact I’ve reinstalled the game and it still doesn’t work makes no sense to me.

My PC Specs:
AMD 6350 6-Core CPU
AMD R9270X Sapphire TOXIC Edition GPU
ASUS M5A99X Evo R2.0 Motherboard
Install Drive is a Samsung 840 EVO SSD
Windows 10

As far as I’m aware I have the latest drivers, but my drivers haven’t changed since the issue.

Thanks, hope I can get some help.

I and a friend have the same issue after today’s update. Any idea anyone?

Seems like Win 10 is the issue :cry:

I had spoken to a GM and he told me to try installing it to a different folder, so I installed it to another of my drives and it works fine now mate if you want to try that.

Right after the update the game ran fine. Today it wont start anymore. No window opens just disapears after few seconds. I tried all stuff mentiont in the forums, even install to a diferent drive wont work. Semms like they changed something this day that players like Ulrath can play and other players like me dont.
