Posts from The game doesn't launch even on powerful hardware.

Hello everyone! I bought the game with the Tribes of the East expansion through Steam. My processor is an i5, and my graphics card is a GTX780 with 3GB of memory. My operating system is Win7Pro. The problem is that the game doesn't launch at all; I get a black screen and then it restarts. I have the latest drivers installed. I've tried all compatibility modes, but nothing helps. Running it as an administrator also doesn't work. It runs perfectly on a weaker machine (a laptop with a Core2Duo). Has anyone else encountered this problem?

So, could you elaborate a bit more? Doesn't powerful hardware usually come with a dedicated graphics card?

Xerx, on integrated Nvidia graphics cards, many games with shaders and other advanced features won't run (not to mention specific options).
Also, please provide more detailed system information (86 or 64-bit, service pack or not, Russian locale or standard, is there enough memory on the HDD).
For now, I suggest you try disabling Kaspersky (it analyzes the game's loading screen proactively) and manually changing the screen resolution in the game's configuration files.

Yes, that’s true.

Windows x64, first service pack, Russian language, plenty of free space (terabyte :) - I bought the computer just a week ago, haven't had time to clutter it up yet). Antivirus from Symantec. I haven't tried manually changing the resolution yet, thanks for the idea. Which files do I need to modify?

Does it have a built-in video card? There's a risk that the system will default to using it for games, which happened to me once, and that's not good.

I haven't tried manually changing the resolution yet; thanks for the idea. Which files do I need to change?

setvar gfx_resolution = 1024x768

I found this in the game folder: /profiles/default_profile/user_a2.cfg. I assume you don't have your own game profile yet, so you need to change the default one; I might be wrong.

Found the profile file, changed the resolution. The game launched! Thanks to everyone for the advice, the thread can be closed.
