Game isn't launching

(blisteringUndertow) #1

Everytime I attempt to launch Dirty Bomb from steam library, it launches the anticheat (ZIGNCODE3) in the bottom right, then the game will not start. I have no antivirus blocking the program, I’ve verified the integrity of the game cache, updated my Direct X and Nvidia drivers, and done full reinstall of the game. I also allowed it with windows firewall and made sure it’s not running in compatability mode. Any way I can play the game??

Specs:
Windows 8.1 32bit
i7-4820k 3.7ghz
Nvidia GTX780
32gb DDR3 Ram

Please help.

Just realized this is my post, and i have an open ticket and have gotten 0 response from anybody.

Is there any error message? Does the game say ‘not responding’ or does absolutely nothing happen?

I assume you have already tried restarting your comp? Try launching the game and watch your processes in the task manager. See if any of them have a spike in consumed resources.

Having the same problem. Tried everything op did and nothing changed.

Anti-cheat launches, bottom right, then i get a img of the game in the center of the screen for a few seconds (this is when the process appears in the task manager) and then poof it all disappears with no error messages, its like i never ran the game :confused:

Hey guys! I figured out the problem! If you have the exact same problems as me, please try running steam in administrator mode! It fixed the game and it worked like a charm!

Give this a shot, it probably won’t work, but it is based on the post from blisteringUndertow.

1.Open Start Menu and type UAC
2. Press enter and a window should appear
3. Move the slider all the way to the bottom and click Ok
4. Click Yes on the window that pops up.
5. Restart steam and then try launching the game.

Once this test is completed, go back into UAC and move the slider back to its original position. This is a security feature in windows. It can negatively affect some programs, but is generally a good thing to have enabled.

Had the same problem, my game just didnt launch.
Try to see the log:
C:\Users****\Documents\My Games\UnrealEngine3\ShooterGame\Logs
Open the text file “Launch-backup-2015.06.xx” at the end of the text it should describe the problem.
I just had a problem with PhysXCore.dll
