1.0+ CTD X4 Foundations has stopped responding - Resolved in 1.30.

Hello,

I have come here today seeking help with regard to getting the game to start up.

So far, since the game went live, I have been unsucessful in my attempts run it. Every time I attempt to launch the game I recieve the above messasge after a short time.

The steps I have taken inlcude: Updated my graphics card drivers to the lastest version, verified my installation files via the Steam client, and re-installed the game. Also, the recent patch has made no difference to my ability to launch the game.

I am a long time fan of the X series and should very much like to see how the game looks and feels now.

I have prepared the relevant dxdiag and Vulkaninfo files but I do not know how to include them with this report. It appears I cannot send attachments and both files excede the maximum amount of characters allowed by the forum.

Kind regards,
David.

You can split long text files across 2 posts or you can upload them to a public fileshare site (no spam or registration to download please) and post the link.

Have you tried again since the update to v 1.10 ?

Hello Alan;

As far as I'm aware the Steam client has automatically updated the game. I still have not been able to launch it sucsessfully.

Have you previously had an AMD graphics card installed on that PC, by any chance?

Alternatively, what kind of hard drive do you have the game installed on?
- Are the game files/folders read-only?
- Is the whole drive or the game folder compressed?
- Is it a Samsung SSD drive?

Hello,

In answer to your questions:

1/ I have never owned any kind of AMD hardware at any previous point in time.
2/ Yes; the game directory is indeed Read Only.
3/ The drive is uncompressed.
4/ The drive is identified simply as "USB mass storage device" and has a remaning capacity of 3.63 TB. I'm pretty sure it's not a Samsung.

The pc itself was custom built by Scan - I am less of an expert and more of an end user when it comes to these things.

Hopefully this helps

OK, answer 2 is a possible clue then. Could you try making the game folder writable? Also, with regard to 3, you say the drive is uncompressed, but what about the game folder itself?

[White Rat]

Hello,

I am unable to change the read-only setting. Whenever I do so and then re-check the properties, the read-only setting has been re-applied.

Also, there is no compression on the game folder itself.

OK, another possible cause for this is the Steam overlay, or indeed some other game overlay such as the RivaTuner statistics server. Make sure any such overlay is disabled for this game.

[White Rat]

Hello again.

I have disabled the steam overlay and also the GeForce Experience overlay (which was the only one I have). Additionally, the latest Nvidia drivers became available today which I downloaded and installed - none of this has had any effect as I still cannot launch the game at all.

Great News;

We're all good. Patch 1.30 sorted it out and I can now enjoy the game.

Thanks Egosoft
