JennifertheRedeemer Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Alrighty, I think the title itself makes things self explanatory. I'm a major PC fan, so of course, like an idiot, I bought Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine off of Steam (At a nice discount, thankfully.) and have been hitting the most unusual and annoying thing: It won't frakking run. It goes to a black screen and then crashes, returning to the desktop and displaying the Bugsplat crash reporter. I've tried verifying the game cache integrity, running the installers needed, re-installing the game, and even changing some of my computer's personal preferences (such as resolution default for Space Marine) in desperation to play this glorious thing. Now, I know my system is extremely outdated in the hardware department, but the software is fully up to date, and so I have had no problems with games such as Dawn of War and Diablo III, thus leading me to conclude that the game itself is erring. Anybody out there willing to lend a gauntlet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave to Darkness Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Buy an Xbox Or just play Gears of War, as Space Marine was just a rip off of that... All joking aside though I have no idea when it comes to computers, have you tried the correct sacred incense and applying the correct fragrance'd oils as you praise the Omnisiah??

JennifertheRedeemer Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 I have an Xbox, I mainly use it for Halo and Fallout, though. Didn't much enjoy Gears of War. I like running straight. Concerning rituals, well, I've tried everything, even gone to the bloody Mechanicus, but they were too busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_son_of_Dorn Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 you tried verifying your cache files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixus Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 What's your hardware and operating system? If you already verified the game cache, maybe contact steam for help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kabbala Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 If what you say about your system being "extremely outdated," that's going to be your problem most likely. Try one of those "can I run it" site which can tell you how your system is deficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skotten Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Get xbox version off amazon, under a tenner now i think. Space marine rip off of gears? Oh my.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennifertheRedeemer Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 I didn't think it isn't a hardware issue, because Diablo III runs smoothly (and I'm certain the requirements for it are higher than Space Marine, but I'm not too tech savvy.) I'll invest in some new parts and try it again later. Thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFeeder Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Space Marine's minimum requirements are higher than Diablo III. If your graphics card doesn't have a particular feature (Shader Model 3.0) then it could be the source of your woes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bjorn Firewalker Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 It's possible you need to download an update that's no longer available on the video game developer's site, as it (THQ) became bankrupt years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
