Help, Cannot launch game

[Troll2k]

Check your config.ini to see what version of Direct X is running.

I have the latest ATI driver 11.6
and assume Steam gives you the latest patch automatically

Check out threads in technical section on launch issues for more advice like integrity check, reinstalling all software from the redist folder, changing DX version in conf.ini, using drivercleaner, etc.

not always, to me the first time I installed the game steam downloaded the patch, and without a reboot I tried to start the game and had the infamous launcher.exe error... I rebooted, started steam again, another patch was downloaded and then the game ran ok... so with steam you really can't assume anything

Which is the config file? I see some "conf" and "conf user" files in the directory.
I can run DX10 and this game isn't DX11 is it?

I didn't get any menu screens, so there wasn't an opportunity to set any of the graphics. I get the logo with the gold plane and crosshair, then right to the sky/black screen.

You want the conf file.You probably have known extensions turned off so you can not see the .ini.

Net Framework and the Visual Basic Libraries are in your redist folder.(as well as DX)Dot Netfx is Framework.net

At the moment the game is DX 10.

For Framework, I'd go to the microsoft site and download the most current version.

Thanks! The Framework update did it!
