Men of War assault squad doesn't boot problem / bug

crimson · #1 02-15-2011, 07:52 AM

Hi,
I just purchased Men of War Assault Squad, and am trying to run the beta.
I run the executable, and nothing happens. It runs in task manager, and thats all. Tried executing from within steam, and from the .exe directly. Cleared game cache and reinstalled it.

I am running Windows 7 64 bit with Direct X 11.0 (i know that DX 9.0 is recommended)

Any help is appreciated.

The game requires to have DX9c installed on your Windows. Windows 7 is fully compatible with it, but doesn't have it pre-installed, it will also not influence your DX10-11 games.

You can get it here:

Thanks for responding.

I had already tried installing the direct X web install, but it detects DX11 and wont proceed further.

So, i searched for a DX 9 full install somewhere, and strangely enough couldnt find one. not even from the MS website. Tried installing it from the Microsoft DirectX SDK. No luck there either.

Do you know where i can find a direct link to a full standalone dx 9.0c ?

Cheers,

Mish

Luckily i was able to find a full DX 9.0c install from 2005. Installed it, but MoW:AS still doesnt boot. Just sits as a process in background. Same issue.

Hmmmm...

Do you have Visual C++ installed? It can be the problem. If you don't, download it from here: http://www.microsoft.com/express/Dow...0-Visual-Basic

have you played beta #1 before?

possible that work (wrong monitor/graphic resolution settings in MoW user profile):
delete/rename/move folder ...my documents\my games\men of war - assault squad\... and start game new again.
