is new to me, did you install all the prerequisites that come with the game?

please make sure all game pre requisite are installed with the game, even if you think or fully know there are already installed, it will only overwrite, and it may be that you have a older or newer version of these where as the game in question may need a certain version which will be bundled with it, the folder is called _CommonRedist where these file are to be found.

How do I save the dxdiag file? Uploads as .txt, .doc, .rtf are not allowed, and the text is too many characters to cut and paste.

[zakblood]

attach as zip

thanks

how old is the system?

is it a clean install or windows 10 or an upgrade?

Check if Nvidia is set as the preferred graphic card:
https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/ ... Works.html

update sound and video drivers and re test, if the board makers or sound and or video can't be updated to a later version, from the make and model of the hardware, direct from them, then there is a chance and only a chance but i'll mention it anyway, unless the hardware can be updated to a later driver version, it may or may not be supported, without more up to date driver done first, it's only guess work.

Graphics: Nvidia GeForce 200 series or equivalent are not supported
Intel cards are not supported as per game requirements.

this isn't to say your's in one of them either, but without more up to date driver, the error message only points to a date atm

with the error message at the bottom being a general one for dot.net

This exception is thrown when the file format of a dynamic link library (.dll file) or an executable (.exe file) doesn’t conform to the format that the common language runtime expects. In particular, the exception is thrown under the following conditions:
An earlier version of a .NET Framework utility, such as ILDasm.exe or installutil.exe, is used with an assembly that was developed with a later version of the .NET Framework.
To address this exception, use the version of the tool that corresponds to the version of the .NET Framework that was used to develop the assembly. This may require modifying the Path environment variable or providing a fully qualified path to the correct executable.
You try to load an unmanaged dynamic link library or executable (such as a Windows system DLL) as if it were a .NET Framework assembly. The following example illustrates this by using the Assembly.LoadFile method to load Kernel32.dll.

so my advice would be first, get the drivers on the pc updated

then manual go into the game folder and run again all pre requisite files from the folder _CommonRedist

What an undeserving long answer. You're in very good mood.
