Problem with game opening, please help :)

stampy · 8 May 2012 10:59

attempted to read or write protected memory this is often an indication that other memory is corrupt

this is the error message i am getting when i try to play the game

I know its not my pc as it is extremely new, and damn well kicks ass, and i have never had a problem before that is similiar to this

Have you tried running it as administrator?

stampy · 8 May 2012 11:30

doesnt make a difference

stampy · 9 May 2012 01:14

anyone know what this could possibly be ? been looking forward to using this program soo much and now i cant

Daffyflyer · 9 May 2012 01:42

Next thing to try, is it installed in a non standard location?

stampy · 9 May 2012 02:00

installed on internal C: drive. same place as all my other programs

Daffyflyer · 9 May 2012 02:22

Hmmm. Ok I’ll have to get Zeussy to look into it tommorow morning

In the meantime, try installing microsoft.com/en-us/download … aspx?id=35

stampy · 9 May 2012 02:49

i am currently running DX 11, will that download help me out at all ?

Daffyflyer · 9 May 2012 03:12

May do, if there has been a DirectX resdist update since you last installed directX, there are typically at least one every few months

stampy · 9 May 2012 11:00

nope, that download didnt help

zeussy · 10 May 2012 00:07

Can you try installing(reinstallting) the VC++ runtime found here: microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5582

It should of installed silently with the Automation install, but may of failed.

stampy · 11 May 2012 07:59

nope, didnt help either

tomyboy112 · 23 June 2012 15:53

Daffyflyer · 24 June 2012 12:36

Wondering if the PCs that have this issue have anything in common, could you please all post your DXDIAG.txt files ? (like this - support.thq.com/thq/consumer/kbd … sp?kbid=41)

loady740 · 24 June 2012 20:29

usually when i get that attempted to read write memory error when i try to run a program i usually go check the security tab in the properties window for that program and give the user that i am logged in on full control and that usually gets rid of the problem, at least for me it does.

tomyboy112 · 25 June 2012 10:19

im having no luck i now get to the loading screen it then shows me the error
