90% Game crashing on Start [steam]

[stella23]

Hi,

if i start the game i allways get crash.
i tried :
- 2 times reinstalled game
- "config.xml" fix
- i reinstalled framework + AI manualy
- installed latest NV driver
- running hammerstorm.exe in admin + compatible mode (win 7 , xp sp3 ... )

all this didnt help

my system : Win 8 64bit , i7 2600k, gtx570, sb x-fi

What do you mean with "90%"?
That means it does crash for 90%? So you can enter it, if you restart the game 10 times^^

90% means sometimes i can get in, but after a few minutes (playing or just waiting in mainmenu) i got message the game is not longer working & have to close it.

edit:
i think is has something to do with initializing or starting the graphic routines, because i see allways a blank window.

try to back down your NV drivers because the latest isn't always best and compatible mode is never a good idea unless you have too.

Did you try to install the commonredist that come with the game? It has three of them.
1. Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package
2. OpenAL 2.0.7.0
3. Microsoft .NET Framework 4

it didnt help ... u cant install framework on win 8, because its a part of OS .. maybe anything on win 8.1 will fix it

EDIT : looks like "OpenAL32.dll" into game folder fixed it
