Well, I've gotten my new Alien Versus Predator game, but it doesn't seem to work on my PC. (not surprisingly, seeing as I do have a bad PC)
When I start the game, I can be around in the menu and I can see the story. But as soon as i'm in gameplay, the screen is totally black. I can hear the surrounding sounds, and I can hear some sounds when I push different buttons
But after about 10 secounds, the sound repeats itsself very very fast, like the PC is stuck, and I can't put down the game or press CTRL+ALT+Delete. Nothing works, I have to restart the computer.
But! (yes, there is a but!) There's something else to it. When I installed the game, Steam automaticly also installed DirectX9.
When I start the game, I can choose to start it up regulary, with DirectX9 or with DirectX11. I tried starting it with DirectX9. This time, it gave me a little white flash so I could see something, but only for a secound.
Now, since 11 is a higher number than 9 (no shit) -I thought that maybe the game works on my pc if I start it up with DirectX11?
But! (yes, there's another but!) - when I try to start it up with DirectX11, a little thingy pops up and says "Failed to initialise D3D11".
My thoughts are that the installation somehow didnt install DirectX11 when it actually was suppose to.
Idk if i'm totally wrong about this or if I make a slight point, but for such an unintelligent guy as me, it seems reasonable
Un-important part: Well, I sat all yesterday evening for seven hours waiting for the download to complete. I had to go to bed (lol) after those 7 hours, so I let my PC stay on and download through the night. I couldn't sleep because I wanted to play so much. And the few times I fell asleep, I always woke up again, and I couldn't sleep. again. Today I got up from bed early early just to play the stupid game, but then this shows up after waiting for so Fu*king long!!! x)
