here what happens now after i click it. So I click Yes, then try again and same thing happens

Run it at 800x600 16bits, and see how it is......It seems only pirated verisions of Vietcong have this problem..But it seems to be crossing over.

how do I do that?

A screen should pop up asking you what you want to set Vietcong at.

I never got that any other way to get there?

Must keep ......alive

Newt, if you never got that screen, it most be pirated...


And like he said, I only know of the pirated version doing that error, erg GIVING.

wtf i bought it, gonna try and return and get new one.

You might want to because

Code: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION

tells me that the game is running with a embedded CDKEY and it isnt valid, EI: HACKED. Thats why it wont let you run the game.[/quote]

vietcong doesn't use cd-keys dumbass, just help him

try the no-cd crack, that seems to clear most problems up. also try compatibility mode.

Someone sent me cd crack, thx man. But it didn't work. I'mgonna give to my friend see if it works on his if it does then i need help. if it doesn't Return for store credit.

any more ideas?

OWNED!!!!!1


i would update your video card driver make sure you got directx9 and get the no cd crack like mrangry said, i hear the no cd crack fixed alot of peoples problems

ok lol links? I'm a newb around comp shit

anybody?

mrangry, shows how much you know. The game has an embedded KEY so that if it gets hacked, it wont work.....n00b.

And yet, I have seen a hacked version work in sp and mp.

Newt, your problem may be that (wild speculation) the hacked version you tried first is still stuck in your registry. Get a reg cleaner and try the store bought version again.

A reg cleaner? plz details links something!

http://www.vtoy.fi/jv16/shtml/software.shtml

I think I used the one called regcleaner. After it is installed (and vietcong uninstalled), run the program and delete any reference to vietcon in your registry. Then re-install vietcong. I beleive CD keys tend to be stored in your registry and dont get deleted when the program does.

Hoepfully this will help.

Ok I uninstall VC and install that then delete what?

sorry but I don't want to fuck with my comp cause its on the edge of being seriously fucked biggrin:

Newt you gotta also be running directx 9x. Make sure that has been loaded if not the game wont run. Just a thought.

BTW, the game is pretty cool, online play is fun, but still no good/stable servers yet.

what store can you return games for store credit?

I got it a best buy lol

How Do I check if directX9 is loaded and running?

and to other question what do I delete?

After you uninstall vietcong, if you havent already, you open the regcleaner software. I dont know the exact menus since I dont have it in front of me, but it will be something along the lines of clean reigistry. It should show you every thing in your registry, find and highlight anything to do with vietcong, then click clean/delete/ok/whatever. Restart your pc (just to be safe) and try installing vc again.

I think B_joe has detailed instructions on how to perform this for MOH somewhere (mohadmin.com??). It will be very similar to what you need to do with vc. If you cant figure it out, try contacting him.

go to run > dxdiag and see if you ahev dx9

Ok I did that dxdiag thing and heres what I got, I also saved all the info
on it if anyone can help I'll post the text.
