I have been trying to find out why my system (Windows 10) can not run EM4, while others on Windows 10 can. I can't seem to nail down the reason for the crash, i get the intro videos and crash right before the main menu. I have tried:

-Reinstalling

-Running as admin

-Changing resolution

-Updating and changing graphic drivers

-Running compatibility mode (which is terrible by the way)

-uninstalling codecs and installing new ones like k-lite

Any help to point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated, I love this game and the community who play and support it.

I have been able to get the intro movies to start up, but I have yet to see the main menu before it crashes out. I have missed playing this game for so long and I want my kids to be able to play it too. Any help would be appreciated and thank you to all who have posted on this forum.

note: I have already tried updating codecs, running as administrator, use compatibility mode and editing the config

I tried replacing the video driver with older versions, but to no avail. I however have some questions on other errors that are present in the logfile

?BLFileSystem::DeviceFromFilename("mod:Textures\Previews\curveview_nos3tc.tga"): unknown device name in URL

//along with

?ERROR: dynlight.vsf Version 3.0.0.0 or higher required!

do these cause any problems with loading the game up?

Thank you, I will give it a try. Thank you for giving me some direction

edit: I finally got to see the intro movies again!!!! Unfortunately the game crashes right after the movies end before the main menu. Attached is the new logfile

I'm still crashing to desktop after a black screen, even after running as admin, using compatibility mode, installing later versions of codexes. If someone could tell me what's causing the game to crash out, I can try to fix it. Thank you!! I really want to play this game.

EM4 used to work on this computer with mods for a while. Then one day it stopped working, black screen of death and all. I have tried reinstalling, verifying files, checking codecs, checking screen resolution, but nothing. I will post my logfile and dxdiag.

I have yet to find a solution to this game, for what ever reason

Is this loading mods or something else? If this is a fresh install that you haven't had working yet have you set the resolution in the config file yet? Otherwise try searching around a little as that sounds like one of the regular crashes that is usually fixed.

It's an unmodded game, that used to work until one day it stopped. I fixed the resolution in the config file before I did anything else.

Looking at the second log file you provided there a quick search of the document shows no errors appearing in the logfile. Some details of your current issue and possibly just attempting it again may help.

Also if you have a Steam version of the game I would verify integrity just in case.

The game still loads up to a black screen, then crashes after about 15 seconds. Attached is the new logfile after verifying the files through Steam. Thank you to all who have taken time to try to fix this problem

Unfortunatly it is still not working, however I am now getting a different error than the original one in the Logfile. It appears that the MPC has worked and fixed some complications, so thank you for fixing that

Darmen, try installing Media Player Classic if you do not have it installed already.

I'm confused, what does MPC do and how will it help?
