So I had this game on Origin for the longst time, and it worked perfectly fine. Then one day, out of the blue, the game refused to launch. I tried almost every fix I could think of, and I could never get it to launch. So I eventually just uninstalled, and reinstalled, just to see if it would fix itself. It did not.
So now, I decided to get the GOG version of this awesome game, hoping that it's better optimized due to GOG's reputation of having quality games that work. That is not the case it seems, as it does the EXACT same thing with the GOG version.
So what happened was that when I finally was able to download the game on a 300kbs internet speed, it installed, but then there was some kind of error that popped up, with no explanation as to what kind it was. So after I click launch, screen goes to black, and the loading icon of the mouse cursor kees spinning, till I have to quit the black screen by hitting Esc.
I have wasted SO many freaking hours trying to fix this game on my laptop, I'm at my wits end.
As I'm typing this, I tried to verify and reair the game to see if that helps. It did not, and instead produces the same error from when I installed the game. Image is included for anybody to see what the cause is.
If anybody knows how to fix this, PLEASE tell me! I REALLY want to go back to playing these awesome games that hits all my nostalgia buttons.
