Can't run game after download
« on: December 16, 2020, 07:38:13 PM »
Hey all,
I just downloaded the latest to a new laptop.  But cannot get the application to run. 

After download and Install, I get this message (attached)...

The message says there's a problem with a libcef.dll file

Do you have virus protection on?

You can try reinstalling the download and download again if the first one was corrupted and still doesn't work.

Let us know if it works or not.

Yes, CylancePROTECT is turned on.

This was the second try, after uninstalling. Same errror message

Sorry I wasn't clear about virus protection. Try turning it off before installing the game.

At least the error message changed.

Is the laptop using a dedicated graphics card?

Did you try a new download? 

If that doesn't work I expect Hitech will figure it out.

A DxDiag output as an attachment would also help.

I've got an older system by today's standards that still runs the game well by my standards.

Same error message?

As Bizman suggested a DXdiag might be helpful.

Looks like you have a nice light notebook workstation but it's not made for gaming. It might still meet the minimum requirements. Are you getting the same error message? Is the game trying to use the graphics card or the built in video?
The Nvidia app may let you specify which video adaptor to use for an application.

The quadro t2000 should actually perform decently. And the rest is good enough. Choosing the right video card should do the trick.

Fresh download, and error is "this application was unable to start correctly..."

I did choose the Quadro for AH.  Same error popped.
