Last year I could play this game but since last summer I have the same problem: crashes while launching. ¿Is it possible that some Windows update broke something the game needs? If someone can still play it today, it would be nice to know their PC specs and Windows version/GPU driver version.
Capcom had a bad era of porting console games to PC. Saturn/Playstation and PS2 ports were horrible. Tons of bugs, the games were poorly adapted to use keyboards. This happens with this game. Several graphic clitches, forced full screen with no Alt+Tab allowed, Most controller buttons are not recognised (Xbox 360 gamepad, thus the official for Windows) and if you expect to play using D-Pad...forget it, it's not recognised so it forces analog stick use. There are more but I'll go mad if I need to point them all so it's over. This review is not only for SF Alpha 2, it can be applied to any Capcom port from that era. Onimusha 3 has the same problems, Resident Evil 4 too... Those games even come with the PS1/2 configuration and button names...to play with keyboard so good luck guessing what key is linked to the PS controller. For your own sake please, avoid any Capcom port from that time. You'll waste your money and mental health.
