Giants crashes after startup

Post by Sizyanator »

I installed the game, but when I run it, the first company sign or smth like that appears and the game crashes without any error...

But here is there is the errorlog.txt file:

Giants caused an Access Violation in module gg_dx7r.dll at 001b:1000682b.

While the errorlog is just a big collection of complicated words and letters to me, you could try switching to do the dx8 renderer. If you installed 1.497 it should be in your Giants folder, rename it to gg_dx7r.dll and replace it, then start the game.

All I know is that this has fixed an issue before someone had with an ATI catalyst driver, it would crash the game would he run it with the dx7 renderer. But even if it doesn't work, at least you wouldn't have wasted time by doing something more drastic.
