E:\program files\Vent\Gear City Open Beta\GearCity.exe

This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect Reinstalling this application may fix this problem .

First of all it must be said that XP is an impressively old OS Tongue

I don't know if this has been reported before, but usually it helps if you can attach your logfile for Eric to see through. You should find it here:

E:\program files\Vent\Gear City Open Beta\GearCity\Logfile.log

Ah. I guess the process shuts down before it manages to log anything. :\

As far as I could see from a quick search on the Steam fora, there seems to be some that are able to run this fine on Win XP 32-bit. So that doesn't seem to be the main problem at least. Maybe someone else has a clue Smile

He's playing the Open Beta and not the Steam build.

The game does work on XP.

It sounds like you need to install the visual c++ redistributable. When you reinstall the game make sure all the other check boxes are checked when installing. One may hang a while, just give it some time and it'll finish.

If it still doesn't work, let me know and we'll look toward other issues.

Sounds like you're having issues with your VCruntime files, Here is a tutorial on how to uninstall them and reinstall them: http://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/au...aries.html

Our game needs: Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable to be working properly for the game to work.
