Red Rick Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 I picked this game up a few months ago Homeworld2... I can't get it to launch, it installs ok and patches ok but nothing. Anyone else had any troubles with this game ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davemania Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 The only thing i could really say is install the latest driver for your video card and make sure you have the right directx version installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerroger Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 Had the same issue. Turned out the game did not like the viewsonic monitor driver my system was using. I switched to standard plug and play monitor and everything worked just fine. Hope this solves it for you! Good luck! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Rick Posted January 12, 2004 Author Share Posted January 12, 2004 I'll try that... It came with DirectX 9b... I'll double check though thanks for the advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abysal Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 make sure you are not running any virtual cdroms from software such as alchohol 120%, the new patch prevents the game from launching when virtual cdroms are installed. i had to no-cd crack mine.
