Demo crash on startup?

[1988jeepxj]

Anybody else that downloaded the Russian demo get an error when you try to load the game? I get the "pp3.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."

AppName: pp3.exe AppVer: 0.0.0.0 ModName: kernel32.dll
ModVer: 5.1.2600.5781 Offset: 00012afb

Does this have something to do with SSE2 support? My Athlon XP 2700+ meets the speed requirements as per the ReadMe, and everything else meets the req's too. All my drivers are up to date, I feel like I tried everything. 4x4 Hummer plays fine.

I have heared of these problems but I have not seen a fix. I'll look around.

Works fine for me, haven't got any problems. Only translating the russian.. :p

It seems like this is a fairly common problem with other games running this engine. Everything I read about the GNovodexSDK Assertion error is related to the PhysX drivers but even after I run Driver Sweep and reinstall the latest drivers from Nvidia I still get the same error.

Any ideas? Honestly, I'm planning on building a brand new machine within the next couple months, but there isn't really a reason it shouldn't run on this rig.

Hi guys,

I've got a problem. I tried to install the game, but it doesn't work. The installation seems to be successful, but the game just doesn't start : a message pops up :
"The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005). Click OK to terminate the application"

So I tried to install the patch (1.0.1.3) and 2 messages pop up, a russian one (which I did not translate), and then a french one (which I tried to translate) :
"The specified path was not found"

Do you have any idea on how to fix the problem ?
Krazee DD, I believe you own a Mac, did you try to install the game over BootCamp ?

I hope I was clear enough so you'll understand my problem.

Computer specs:
Windows 7 X86 Professional
MacBook Pro 6.2
Intel Core i7 M620
4Go of RAM
Nvidia GT330M (512Mo)

For the record, I checked : Grand Theft Auto IV, Call of Duty MW2, and NFS Shift still run properly.

Really wish we could get ANY dev support on these errors?

Just figured I'd update this thread. I finally put together a new PC, Intel Core i5-2500k, Asus P8H67-M EVO, 4GB Crucial RAM, same windows installation as before (cannibalized hard drive) and the demo now plays wonderfully. Even on the onboard video .

Must have been an incompatibility with the old CPU.
