Kane's Wrath - not launching (splash screen/black screen)
Hi everyone,
I have seen a lot of topics regarding this game, and it's issues. I have tried all the solutions - none of them worked so far. So here's the deal:
I have played this game for years and years and years... Now, a few days ago it did not start up, so I tried a few things, read the forums, nothing have helped.
Issue is
- both Kane's Wrath and C&C 3 fails to start, splash screen comes in, then black screen, and after that (1 or 2 seconds) error comes up "... has stopped working" so I close the program and that's it.
What I have tried
- installed direct X (the old one which was suggested in several posts)
- installed vc redist x86, x64
- uninstalled both games, and then reinstalled them
- tried a million different compatibility modes
- and several other things I cannot remember right now
As the game has worked like a charm on this PC, I am sure that hardware's not a problem. This is a windows 7 x64 PC, with an AMD Radeon card, only issue I can think of is the newest driver for it (updated a few days ago). All other games run fine.
Any suggestions are really appreciated.
Thanks,
Daniel
- ApprovedAnonymous8 years agoFor those who have the same issue, I have found the solution.
The new AMD driver (17.2.1) has some new APIs and that caused every game using C&C3's enginge stop working.
Solution: just uninstall the newest AMD driver and install the previous one instead (17.11.1 or 17.7.2)
