When you start it up does it show up in your processes (can be found out using Ctrl+Alt+delete)?

I fixed mine by following stuff in this thread.

In particular, the stuff about 3 DLLs and putting the lighting quality on high.

My problem was a black screen and lockup on starting the game.

The Steam forums quite often have the answer to tech problems, I find them useful.

Vista?

I thought Schlurbi used Windows XP.

Wynney · Mon Mar 30, 2009 1:17 pm

Schlurbi does use xp lol.

Skillers · Mon Mar 30, 2009 1:23 pm

He does, which is why my post probably doesn't help.

However, I seriously suggest browsing the Steam forums, I have never had a problem with a Steam game that I haven't fixed by doing that.

You clearly never bought GTA4 then

Skillers · Mon Mar 30, 2009 3:36 pm

You're right, I didn't

De4dCh1ck3n · Mon Mar 30, 2009 8:23 pm

Nannal · Mon Mar 30, 2009 8:45 pm

Torrenting games gets rid of DRM.

WHICH MAKES THEM EASIER TO USE IN THE FIRST PLACE, WHY ARE GAME PUBLISHERS SO STUPID.

I might only possibly pirate everything a little bit, I would like that known by the prosecution lawyers

Skillers · Tue Mar 31, 2009 11:16 pm

Heh, I've heard of people buying the game them torrenting them so they're (semi)legal and don't have the DRM

Legal if for personal use.

Damn i love this country.

Skillers · Wed Apr 01, 2009 2:17 pm

You're legally allowed to not pay for things? WTF?

Fix'd

I'd say definitely, I heard he even torrented this forum account.

Nannal · Wed Apr 01, 2009 3:34 pm

Rapidshared it more like.

Skillers · Wed Apr 01, 2009 10:13 pm

Rapidshare is made of fail, therefore so is your account.

Nannal · Wed Apr 01, 2009 10:18 pm

It isn't great for free users but if you have an account and a download manager, its fantarstic

Skillers · Wed Apr 01, 2009 10:18 pm

I try to avoid RapidShare like the plague.

Anyway, wasn't this about some game not loading?
