Ok, so as the above mentions, I load the game the splash thing pops up, and then I'm staring at a blank screen.

Fixes tried -

1. changed compatibilty of both WFTO.exe and WFTOGame.exe to windows & (as im running windows 7) - nothing changed ...... (sad face)

2. Checked Output Log, WHAT???? OMG CoherentUI_Native.dll is missing?!?!?!
 Ok mild panic all i need to do is check the integrity of the game files ... check, File missing and will be redownloaded (or something to that effect)
... lets recheck, yep all files vaildated AWSOME!!!
... Splashie thingie thing check, owwww and now this time the computer is thinking (it didn't do that last time)

.. ok false alarm, sad face again, still blank screen.

3. Check step 2 again .....

WHAT THE F%$*&NG S^%T ... CoherentUI_Native.dll missing again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ok, so I revarify ... again ..... Oh look its missing a file again suprise, and its reacquiring through .... AGAIN.
recheck ... again, yep files all accounted for ..... lets recheck again just to be safe...... yep still there WOOHOO!!

Launch game .....

Guess what .... WHAT THE F%$*&NG S^%T'IN PI$%NG WA&K!NG STAIN IS THIS BLANK SCREEN AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
( mild lose of hair has started, mainly from me pulling it out, also appolgises for the mild langague, and any spelling errors ... eek)

4. Check step 2 again .... AGAIN.....

Ok lets save alot of read as you may have guessed it the file is missing again, i revarify like TEN TIMES, each one said the file is there, biut guess what ITS NOT!!!!!

However there is a CoherentUIGT_Native.dll just no CoherentUI_Native.dll
I have no idea if that means anything maybe someone can help ..... Please Help!!!!

Oh and i did manually check the file after it said the file had been reacquired and after it said all files validated ... but the file CoherentUI_Native.dll was never actually theredispite the varification said it was.

Also if it  help......

We have found the issue in your case Peter. You need to install Windows 7 Service Pack 1. If you do so the game will launch correctly.


Please let us know if that works

The button to upload files is the rectangle with the pointing upwards at the top of the text editor. The default path for the log file is:


C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\War For The Overworld\WFTOGame_Data\output_log.txt


As an aside, you'll have a much better chance of getting your report looked at if you strip all the creative writing from your post. Just think of the guy/gal on the other side having to parse the bits of (maybe, maybe not) relevant info from a piece of prose just to get an idea of what the problem even is so they can do their job.
