monolith94 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I'm having this problem too, this exact problem. Not sure what to do from here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peon Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 to add to this. I've tried multiple resolutions. After the last check I do get a new screen with a loading progress bar that loads all the way to "preparing graphics" then after a few seconds CTD.

peon Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 ok. problem caused by odd install files. i had been launching the game using the shortcut automatically installed in my start menu. the shortcut is called "Avadon 2 DirectX" and points to "Avadon 2 DirectX.exe". Using this shortcut to this EXE causes the problems described above. If I instead use the shortcut automatically installed on my desktop called "Avadon 2 - The Corruption" that points to "Avadon 2.exe" there is no problem. It makes sense, now that I know, but not knowing that I shouldn't click on the icon that the program INSTALLED threw me off. hope this helps you Monolith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stranger Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 The DirectX version is provided as an alternative to the default OpenGL version, which is superior if supported. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earth Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 and DirectX-version most likely requires DirectX 9.0c and in Vista and newer user needs to install that since those have newer dx which isn't compatibe with 9.0. maybe next game DX-requirement will be 10 or higher since Microsoft ends XP-support early next year.
