Did you manage to run the game? This is most likely Visual Studio 2008 Runtime installation issue.

Hi guys,

because i've got the same problem after a complete windows 7 revamp, i'm using this thread.

Problem description:

After starting the game, nothing happens. ATI drivers are the latest, also DX & VS Runtime. Nevertheless the game won't start.
ctgw.log file will not appear in "My Documents\My Games\Commander The Great War", so i can't attach that file.

Thanks for ur help.

Thanks for reporting the bug.

Is there any error message/dialog at all?

I would recommend installing VS 2012 redist next to VS 2008 - it sometimes helps with similar issues. You can download it here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download ... x?id=30679.

Let us know if you manage to run it.

After Nebril's replay i run it, but it was a little bit tricky.

Workaround:

- Deinstallation of all VS redists and CTGW
- Download and Installation of all VS redists x64 ( 2005, 2008, 2010, 2012 )
- Installation of the game, including the VS redist 2008 x86 -> game works -> umimatsu is happy

Thanks for ur support!

Glad you could make it . Good luck, have fun!
