What are your computer specs?

[Guest GB619]

Yeah would be good if you posted your computer specs,also have you tried just putting disk in and waiting for the game start screen to appear,rather than use the short cut to start game

First upload you DXDIAG file:

start --> run --> type DXDIAG --> save result --> upload it (via uploadfunction under text box when writing a post).

Next upload logfile:

wait for error to occur --> upload logfile.txt (it's in the main folder of EM4)

greetz,

I think it has at least partly to do with your video drivers. They date bakc from 2006. You should visit your manufacturers website and download the most recent drivers. There is a manual on their website for that too.

EM4 is a one disk game. So Don't worry you're not missing a disc.

when i install the game it asked for disk 2 and it only came with 1

You sure you bought EM4 (EM3 has two discs and can cause installation problems with the second disc).

In case it is EM4: where did you buy the game, what language is it in (version), can you send a picture of the game cover.

[james23222000]

Did you buy Emergency Gold?

[Guest wallers]

this is the front cover and it is the english version and i got it from www.amazon.co.uk

[pyrothijs]

this is the front cover and it is the english version and i got it from www.amazon.co.uk

Did you buy a used copy or a new one?

[Guest GB619]

That odd,as if you look on the amazon site,it shows a slightly different cover to the one you have,i got mine from game.co.uk,and my front cover is this

This is my front cover

And also the cd and manual

Yours does not have the bluestone logo on cover,and im thinking did you buy a used copy of the game,as you may have been given an illegal copy,ebay is the worst for selling used games that are actual copies made from an original disc,only a thought....

EDIT:

But dont worry if you think you have a bad copy send it back,as amazon will usually refund without any problems,then go buy it from somewhere else

[Guest wallers]

my dad put a force fx5900 and got latest drivers for it from nvidia and i still did not work, same problem. think it might not be a legitimate as no manual and the box is not as posted above.

any more ideas would be great but i will be sending it back tomorrow

thanks again

Ah i guess it probs is an illegal copy,like i said send it back,and either goto your local game store,or go onto the game website and buy it there,i think this should sort your problem out,and also report the seller to amazon as they will deal with it,do let us know when you get another copy if that sorts your probs

[Guest wallers]

yeh i might to gamestation or something to see if i can get another emergency 4

[MikeyPI]

I am not sure if the game came with a manual anyway, most games especially the lower-cost ones have digital manuals (a PDF Manual) on the DVD/CD to save a buck on the printing costs involved in making the book manual, regardless of how much some of us would rather have a legit book instead of a print-out copy.... Such is the tightening of the gaming communities wallets even though profits are still high :1046275873_shakehead:

[Guest GB619]

Even if he got it from amazon in the uk,they only selling the uk version with a manual,and if it a used copy,i still think it could be an illegal copy Mikey,so it best he send it back and get a copy from elsewhere then at least that should solve his issue,yeah he may have to wait a bit longer to play,but as he cant even play it atm then he aint got nuttin to lose

[Guest wallers]

i got a new 1 from gamestation and that 1 does not work :1046275897_teufel:

[pyrothijs]

Same error or different error?

And again was it an english version?

greetz,

p.s. please use the edit button next time. Double posting isn't allowed.

[Stan]

From me, no help as long i don't get a logfile

[Guest wallers]

yeh it is the same problem

[Guest GB619]

Hmmm,well after everything everyone suggested,im at a loss,maybe you cud tell us how old your pc is,and what system you got,as the specifications of your computer might not be upto the game......i cant think of anything else that cud stop it,hmm i have got anothe rtheory,but i wont post it here i will pm you to ask...
