[Bane]

hi if there is a topic sorry cant find it.

before reformatting my pc windows vista 64 bit. hard drive in RAID format. i baught and and played gridrunner revolution and space giraffe though steam but now after format (hard drive still in RAID) i get the error GRIDRUNNERREV_PC.EXE has stopped working then just crashes. it also happens to other steam games i have bought please help

I think steam support might be the better place to ask, for it's not GRR specific...
https://support.steampowered.com/

Anyway I'd try deleting the game data file then downloading it again. Also sometimes ClientRegistry.blob in the steam directory causes some issues, so try renaming it(and let steam rebuild the file).

I guess moving a steam installation article might help.(I guess even though the file location seems to remain the same, the steam might be thinking something is different)

Usual PC support question:

Have you updated everything; sound card, video card, other drivers, etc?

[Bane]

cause of the format and not knowing (me being stupid and a little illiterate for never doing an install of vista before) i was useing directx 9C and just today managed to get dx10 on system for i did not know what dx was bundled with vista. and the only thing i have updated is my graphics card which is an ATI Radeon HD 3600 Series. everything else update wise is fine

[PVB]

So are you now saying it's fine, or that you haven't updated everything?

[Bane]

what i am saying is i have updated everything that i think needs updates and after uninstalling steam and putting it into the C drive i still get the errors bah thanx for the help guys

[PVB]

Sounds like Steam support is the place to go then, hope they sort it out for you.

Hi just saw this here besides I just noted it seems we have some problems with the support forum, I'll contact the "support"
of the "support" then

[Bane]

lol thanx Giles ill keep trying

[gilesgoat]

If everything fails could you maybe just as a try download the version ( demo ) from the LS website and install/run it ?

I suspect maybe something has to do with Steam protection and your RAID configuration ?

Try the version from our website and let's see what happens.

it seems im having problems with direct x installation for when i tried to install the demo i got the error about direct x (either it was because it was already installed) or i just got a general error form the direct x install. after choosing ignore i am playing the demo with no faults what so ever. so there is something up with steam i suppose. conclusion i think i have problems with direct x

"The error about DirectX ?" .. what error ? What did it say when it launched the DXSetup installer ?

[Bane]

the error message was just could not install direct x then had three options to try again ignore or cancel.

holly shit after uninstalling it from steam and reinstalling it after playing the downloaded demo from llamasoft it now works strange
