    Hi overki,

    When you say nothing happens, do you mean you get stuck at a black screen or nothing at all happens?

    The first things I suggest to do are:

    • Install all available important Windows Updates, specifically including .Net Framework and C++ Redistributables
    • Install the appropriate driver software for your monitor
    • Install the most recent non-beta drivers for your video card

    If you continue to have a problem starting DS2 then please post your Dxdiag file and let the community here know exactly what happens when you try to play this game.

    Regards,

    Barry.

    nothing happens at all. Activation wizard just closed and after that nothing happens. I can retry this much times, but it even won't in task manager.
    I already try to install game from cd that i have, then i try to download it from Origin but its the same...

    Strangest thing is that i already installed it three times and each time after install its runs absolutely normal, but if i restart the game, all the same it wont run anymore.

    Here is dxdiag, dunno how to put in here txt file...

    overki,

    When you reinstall the game and it runs correctly once, are you uninstalling the game first and then reinstalling or are you installing 'on top of' the existing installation of the game?

    Can you try performing a clean boot and see if you can get the game to run a second time please? Your machine can run the game, we have seen that, there does seem to be a software issue preventing second and subsequent runs of the game and a clean boot should help us prove that.

    I am interested to see your results on this. Please post your outcome here.

    Regards,

    Barry.
