Game Crashes A few Seconds After Launch

Game Dev Tycoon bug
#1

Bought the game from steam and it crashes after a few seconds of gameplay. Here is the event log XML dump:

1000 2 100 0x80000000000000 6603 Application OpD GameDevTycoon.exe 0.0.0.0 5202ff28 nvumdshim.dll 9.18.13.2078 520538e5 c0000005 0000afae 265c 01ceed604b253fd4 c:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Game Dev Tycoon\GameDevTycoon.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\NV\nvumdshim.dll a3af167c-5953-11e3-be7c-7845c4fdd21e

Do you have any mods?

#3

Which version of Windows are you running?
eg 7, vista, xp?

Have you installed any mods?

Have you tried reinstalling and/or hitting the “verify integrity of game cache” button?

Have you tried starting a new game by hitting the escape key and entering the main menu as soon as you reach the “click to continue” screen?

Turns out it was due to my having two monitors running. Once I disabled the second monitor everything worked fine and I played the game for hours with no issues. Great game!!

This happened on Windows 8.1, via steam library, on an Alienware x51 box.

Thanks for letting us know and glad you got it sorted! You may find that now you have run the game you can change the game to window mode and turn your second monitor back on.
