Support Requests / Re: Game Crash on Startup
« on: September 14, 2016, 09:03:45 PM »
***Problem Resolved***
I deleted the ddraw.dll from the folder WC2 was installed in.
Turned on DEP which populated the game into the listed programs field and was able to successfully launch.
The startup screen was slightly off coloured however that is not a major issue.
**Steps taken to add war2combat to DEP exceptions list**
Start Menu > Right Click on Computer and select Properties > Advanced Systems Settings > Advanced TAB >
Under Performance, click Settings > Data Execution Prevention TAB > Select Turn on DEP for all programs and services Listed
War2Combat should be populated in that list, if not select Add and locate the file.
Note: I also ran the software as admin (right click > run as administrator)
Hope this helps anyone who gets this problem.
Cheers!
