How to fix startup!?

Hello all,

i have finally fixed this game, if you head to your exe of the game, located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\the game title\game.exe (Right click on it), go to properties and then head to compatibility tab, and enable "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and from the dropdown menu it gives, switch it to Windows XP (Service Pack 3).

and now click apply, and click play.

UPDATE: Another fix is to remove you're current version of physx and install the physx that come with the game, located in \_CommonRedist\PhysX\9.12.1031 in you're game directory.

Remember the version to the physx is: 9.12.1031 for it to work, also make sure to have the latest directx aswell.

Thanks for reading.

I've another kind of problem. Well, when I install the game it seems that there isn't any _CommonRedist folder, nothing, nothing nothing, really nothing.

Click to what it says in the guide. switch the OS on the compatible tab to windows xp service pack 3, then click apply. but also make sure to run with admin mode if your on windows 10.
