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

[Ferich]

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?

[Ferich]

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

[Sniper Wolf [USAR]]

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.

[Sniper Wolf [USAR]]

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]

[mrangry]

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.
