HELP FOR DD2:
I sent my crash reports to Capcom several times, but without any response... I don't know how can i do to play normally.
If you know how can I fix this crash, I would be truly grateful.

My system info:
Cpu: Ryzen 7 5800x3D
GpU: Nvidia geforce rtx 4060 TI 16GB
Ram: Kingston fury renegade (tot.48GB 3600mhz overclocked)
MoBo: Asus rog strix b550 A-Gaming
Operative system: Windows 11 Pro x64

All my games starts and I can play with no problems. DD2 is the only game that crashes every 5 minutes. I updated every type of driver, but nothing to do...

I would love for you to accept my friend request, I would be very happy if you accept it.

I´m here because of that Fable screenshot, lol.

Kami, look down a few messages & you will see a link, It's still working. Just remember to fix the link (put the periods where they should be in the address after "www" & before "com").

Hey Mikfail, i send you an invite because a i need a save file for Song of horror. Ty

Mikfail, thank you so much, I've never expected those incredible posts!, so kind of you to take your time to answer my questions, really appreciated!!!
We are playing with a friend and it's incredible how a small study could release that polished title although not being AAA game.
With your help we can continue playing by not redoing same chapters.
Thank you another time!
Have a nice day!!

Continued, offtopic thoughts:
I actually haven't beaten the game myself. Chapter 3 is so fast (can actually be beaten in minutes). So I then decided to not play chapter 4 when it released, as to leave more gameplay for myself later (because the game ends with chapter 5).

I did hear chapter 4 & 5 are extensive I just need to find the time to complete them (busy offline & when I'm online I'm caught in several other games)

Despite not beating SoH, I still think it's the greatest horror/thriller-themed-classic-fixed-perspective-style-camera-game in years. It's amazing such a small dev team could pull it off yet lean well on such quality & game mechanics. Absolutely puts to shame AAA studios/publishers who abandoned this style many years ago in favor of 1st person or over the shoulder 3rd person.

Not a bother:

(link kept being removed by steam. Add a period (.) inbetweem the letters where it needs them in the address)

The only completed episode 3 save I have is from my default blind playthrough I carried from the start as episodes released. Several people have died throughout it, I can't remember who exactly. There is also an episode 3 I had kept just before the end of that chapter.

However, I did include all the other saves I was keeping too from experimental runs I was doing at the time:

- 1 lifer playthroughs (noone dead). There is a set for Chapter 1 using all characters & a seperate set for Chapter 1+2 using all characters This encompasses all characters so there are many saves, organized by name.

- All dead but Daniel, completed with chapter 1+2

You can follow my guide to find where to put them & how to use them properly:

Hi Mikfail srry bothering you but I saw that you have several posts regarding savegames about Song of Horror and I want ask you if its possible to share yours cause i got mine corrupted and lost progress up to chapter 3.
Ty you so much!

Trying to play Off the record with a friend but can't seem to invite each other from steam ( we are at the safehouse ) but no invite button is available.

Idk, I've tried every solution I found on forums and what you've said - nothing helps :( Anyway - thanks.

Although, running steam &/or the game with admin rights should give the privileges to do so. If not, your machine may have settings to disable this or perhaps the main folder is set to "Read only".

You can try making your own:
Goto My Documents/My games/Dead Rising 3

Create a notepad file within the dead rising 3 folder, copy & paste this into it:
// Render Settings
Language = en
ScreenWidth = 1920
ScreenHeight = 1080
WindowLeft = 312
WindowTop = 161
WindowWidth = 1920
WindowHeight = 3413
FullScreen = true
RefreshNumerator = 60000
RefreshDenominator = 1000
Gamma = 0.8
RENDER_QUALITY = RENDER_QUALITY_CUSTOM
GAME_RESOLUTION = GAME_RESOLUTION_1080P
TEXTURE_RESOLUTION = TEXTURE_RESOLUTION_HIGH
SHADOW_QUALITY = SHADOW_QUALITY_HIGH
SHADOW_RESOLUTION = SHADOW_RESOLUTION_HIGH
SSAO = SSAO_ENABLED
SSS = SSS_ENABLED
MIRROR_QUALITY = MIRROR_QUALITY_HIGH
VSYNC = VSYNC_DISABLED
AA_TYPE = AA_TYPE_SMAA_T2X
ZOMBIE_QUALITY = ZOMBIE_QUALITY_HIGH
MOTION_BLUR = MOTION_BLUR_ENABLED
DOF = DOF_ENABLED
TEXTURE_FILTERING = TF_ANISOX4
SKY_QUALITY = SKY_QUALITY_HIGH
LOD_DISTANCE = LOD_DISTANCE_11

Close & name the file:
Rendersettings.ini

I saw this, it didn't help - my saves already capitalized. Also I saw in your posts about visual and input ini files in "Documets" - I don't have them.

Another suggestion from a user: make a save then,
"All you have to do is disable Steam Cloud for the game and then go to My Documents > My Games > Dead Rising 3 > Saves > x64_build/x86_build and capitalize the save names"

Hello, can you help me with Dead Rising 3 problem? Game won't save my settings and deleted my main campaign progrees after starting Untold Stories DLC.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

My friend. Im having troubles with my SOH savedata. Can you help me with tha't mediafire link? I need a savefile with the ep 3 :(

Heya! I've seen you around in the SOH forums and I was wondering if you wanted a link to the speedrunning Discord?

Sup bruh. Sent a friend invite and wanted to say hey.

Dead Rising 2 still works on WIN 7 as I play it with no problems what so ever.

Good luck with your refund. Though, I'm confident the game still works even on Win7.

Sorry Mikfail. Still nothing. It pains me but I havve submitted a refund claim. I will *absolutely* be fervently watching for a proper solution but until one is assertively found... I just can't struggle with this and keep getting nowhere. It's too sad for such an amazing pair of games. Thanks for all your help!

FWIW, running Win 7. That wouldn't be it would it? Ran fine on Win 7 on release...

Ahh, I forget Steam now handles redistributables. I believe valve torn them out of most if not all packaged games by now.

Here in your Steam library there is a "Tools" section. Ensure you have the app "Steamworks common redistributables" downloaded.

^That actually runs for me automatically whenever I install a game for the first time now.

You shouldn't have to worry about GFWL leftovers, just remnants of a bygone era.

Researched further and discovered that, yes even with a fresh install, the is no CommonRedistributables Folder now. Saw advice to check it and found it wasn't the but a GFWL "ZPT(???)" folder is there and an empty folder named strangele enough "EmptySteamDepot"...

I am finding odder and odder things the deeper I look into this. If it wasn't the Dead Rising series... Not many series have me this dedicated... :)

While searching memory uninitialized in the hub, most seem to get it fixed by playing with the audio settings &/or compatibility modes, giving the exe itself admin access or even just restarting the machine. Few links with resolves:

Ok, I've tried everything I can find and still it won't launch. The game logs a crash log which follows as such:

Exception Handler

Build Info:
Build 3221, Thu May 14, 2015 10:10:59 PM

Callstack:
Address Function Location
UNKNOWN UNKNOWN UNKNOWN
UNKNOWN UNKNOWN UNKNOWN
0x770B342B BaseThreadInitThunk (UNKNOWN)

Exception: Access Violation (007A04C2)
>UNKNOWN LOCATION

Memory uninitialized!

Why on earth is this happening? I have several of these that are seemingly the same.

You shouldn't need to launch the game directly from the exe, yet I do recall some people trying that

This guide I will link is for DR2:OTR but it can apply to DR2 as well:
https://steamoss.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=185200621

Try the part under "Another Solution"

If still nothing, try also changing the compatibility of the game exe.

Just for reference, I'm running Win10 & all i did was download & launch from Steam (Steam is running with admin rights).

Hi. Oops, was looking in the same directory as DR2.exe and accompanying folders.

To be exact it comes up with a Memory Uninitialized error "among another truly bizarre error when launching the DR2.exe directly.

20mins approx left to install (Aus internet is slooo www.....apparently . We Aussies really don't havve a clue what fast speed is like. Downloading games in like 10mins? Unbelievable to us lol.)

Will post an update soon.

(Thank you so SO much for your gracious continued help. :D )

Try creating your own settings file.
Open a notepad & copy this into it:

// Render Settings
RenderWidth = 1920
RenderHeight = 1080
VSync = true
Refresh = 60
MSAA = 7
Gamma = 1.0
COMBINED_BLUR = COMBINED_BLUR_DISABLED
ZOMBIE_COUNTS = ZOMBIE_COUNTS_TWOFOLD
SHADOW_QUALITY = SHADOW_QUALITY_HIGH
TEXTURE_FILTERING = TF_ANISOX16

Make changes as you see fit for your system, save the file and name it: Rendersettings.ini
(If you have file extensions hidden in your OS, you will need to unhide them or else your manually created file will be saved as Rendersettings.ini.txt, which wont work.)

Drop it into: Documents/My Games/Dead Rising 2

Heya! Update: Correction. DR1 works fine. Working on getting DR2 running as I am confidant due to similarities of both the problem and the games themselves that fixing one will tell me how to fix the other. OK so... was going through your checklist and noticed there is no settings.ini (or rendersettings.ini) for DR2. Found an old post of yours saying install the game with Steam having admin rights. Doing that now. Am unsure it will work as I have tried giving DR2.exe admin rights, nope, nothing. Also gave admin rights to the Steam Client and got nowhere but haven't yet tried *installing WITH admin rights from start of fresh install*. Will let you know if this is the solution.

A game not launching could be any number of things, I've noted many fixes throughout the DR hubs, some unique to particular games & system setups. Reinstalling could help, but most of the general fixes you may have tried:

Problem with a corrupt or missing file
-Reverify the game cache through Steam.

Problem with a settings file
-Delete the settings file & relaunch the game

Problem with read & write privileges
-Try running steam in Admin mode (or without),

Problem with application handling
-Check Task Manager if the game is running silently in the background. exit it, relaunch.

Problem with a driver
-reinstall or update the drivers

Missing redistributables
-Install DirectX & vcredist

OS outdated
-Check if updates are needed

Don't meet system requirements
-Check the game listed requirements

(Most OS are supported & people have had success with others by running an exe in compatibility modes. Games requiring 64bit will not run on 32bit systems.)

Thanks! However, the bigger problem is when they are installed, they won't launch. It just says it is "Running" but nothing happens. I was trying aq fresh install as a desperate attempt to fix this. Do you know if reinstalling it fixes it/ (Not launching is actually the common issue I meant. Seems a LOT of people are getting this and it also seems most people with this problem (at least on the DR2 forum) give up and abandon the games, hence why advice for a fix for it not launching simply doesn't exist, not a solution anyway...

@Shodan Oops, almost forgot:
It's not mentioned in the video I linked but during & after trying all of this, you should also run Steam with Admin Rights. This should extend elevated read & write privileges to Steam & games launched from it.

Hey there!
Sorry for how quiet things can get long after releases. If you'd like, Capcom also has their own forums/support they frequent at capcom-unity.com

Concerning this problem with a content lock problem...You gave me a scare telling me DR2 isn't working (My fav DR game). However, I downloaded & its currently running as I type this.

After searching around, it does seem this content lock issue is a growing problem with steam users for many type of games. I found plenty of search hits for it & just as many videos.

The video I will link below seems to be the best indepth fix video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOq-2ANgb-Y

I hope it works out for you! Noone should be depraved of such an excellent series. Whatever the sole cause of it is, It's certainly not anything capcom has done to induce it post-launch.

Mikfail, hello! I was once a member/frequenter of the Dead Rising forums here on Steam. I *hate* to come to you with this but are you aware that DR1, 2 and 2 OTR won't launch? I have tried for *months* (on and off) to get it working and now upon reinstalling DR2 from scratch, it upon finishing gives a "Content File Locked" error so now I can't even install the game. Please help! What the hell is going on? As I recall, all 3 stopped working at the same time and this is a widely common problem, it seems. Any idea at all what's up? I'm honestly starting to suspect Capcom quietly disabled the games cuz they won;'t comment on the forums...

hello there, got a question for you regarding dead rising 4 as the pinned topics in the support thread dont seem to apply to my install (literally)

Hello

Not only because yesterday's comment I just have to send an request. Cheers!

Just passing, hello.
