| | Gears of War PC crashes at splash screen recently purchased Gears of War and a few other games, Crysis, Helgate London, Orange Box etc.. All of the other games runs fine on my PC, but Gears of War crashes at the start up splash screen after you click on the play button The error message is "Gears of War has stopped working" then it collects info to call home to Microsoft I have not had the game successfully start up at all. I reinstalled it to no avail I downloaded the GOW updates but that does not resolve the issue at all I cannot get past the splash screen... I tried to us Microosft support but they are asking for a PID, and I cannot get the PID because I cannot get into the game at all, and I will not pay the cost of the game for support I get the same crash message when I both windows without loading any of the non essential services and no startup programs so it's not an antivirus issue This is the info from Vista Problem Reports and Solutions Problem Stopped Working Problem signature Problem Event Name: APPCRASH Application Name: wargame-g4wlive.exe Application Version: 1.0.3339.131 --> Alo have reports with app Version 1.0.3340.131 and 1.0.3329.131 Application Timestamp: 472f77b3 Fault Module Name: kernel32.dll Fault Module Version: 6.0.6001.18000 Fault Module Timestamp: 4791a81d Exception Code: e06d7363 Exception Offset: 0002f35f OS Version: 6.0.6001.2.1.0.256.1 Locale ID: 1033 Additional Information 1: 541c Additional Information 2: fea38bb7112247ac4fb62d4f4cf85987 Additional Information 3: 2206 Additional Information 4: a7c5d438f4cbc5ba45f9aa4eb66f39 This is my computer specification Dell XPS 730 Nvidia 9800gx2 with the latest graphics drivers Latest Nforce drivers for the mother board Latest bios update Windowx Vista Ultimate 64bit Creative X-FI xtremeGamer Soundcard Intel Q9550 2.8x Ghz processor 4 GB 1333 Mhz Ram WD 160 GB Raptor 10,000 RPM main HD WD Cavier Black 1TB HD for data Any suggestions is appreciated |

| | Re: Gears of War PC crashes at splash screen Have you patched the game up to the most recent, and I found that I had to go hunting on MS site for games for windows live redistributable, after I installed that, it ran fine. Smashing game, by the way. |

| | Re: Gears of War PC crashes at splash screen I previously did everything suggested. I patched the game up and I installed g4wlive redistributable.

| Vista Ultimate x64 SP1 | Re: Gears of War PC crashes at splash screen It's a long shot, but try and install it outside of the program files folder ....and create a shortcut from the .exe within the gears of war folder ( sorry you might have to google it as there was a fix relating your very problem ) |
