Does your PC meet the minimum required specs? Please post your specs.
I tried posting a thread but I didn't see the Steam sticky.
I just bought this game today and now feel like I've wasted money. It doesn't even install right? I proceeded to install it, and three hours later, I try to run it. I get two error messages.
1: Right after I hit play, box pops up and says "No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgInGameUI/MPTable.shadow'."
2: I proceed to hit OK and the game loads for a minute... the black screen launches for half a second then crashes to desktop. Message follows, "Error compiling pixel shader PSSpecularAlpha:0"
I tried a verify file integrity check, and it said a file was missing and would be reinstalled. I tried to launch it again and the same thing happened.
I tried reinstalling the game twice and the issue continues.
Anyone able to help me? Thanks in advance.
Just solved it. I had had the same issue for days and got fed up with re-downloading the game in a never-ending cycle. Here it goes:
1. download the game
2. install the game and ignore the error messages
3. close Steam
4. re-start your PC
5. start Steam
6. play the game
I fixed this by a complete mistake. I had to go somewhere else and shut down my PC (a rig quite similar to yours, BTW) for the duration. After returning and firing up the engine, everything worked flawlessly.
