Vanguard Saga of Heores

[Unknown_User_873]

after doing some more digging I believe I have found what was causing the game to not run properly so perhaps we can get a work around here... pretty obvious where the issues are however i have no idea on how to correct it, any help would be greatly appreciated

I assume you think this part of the debug log is the problem:

Code: Select all

[3096] [07/31/07 12:59:16] FATAL: Critical: Couldn't create input device -- DXGetErrorString9() = E_INVALIDARG 
[3096] [07/31/07 12:59:16] FATAL: Critical: Windows GetLastError: The system cannot find the path specified. (3) 

Alright, now what?

[Unknown_User_873]

well (censored) your the technical expert here you tell me... lol

is that issue with the sandboxie config? is there a way i could open up that resource?

[tzuk]

I don't see why you have to taint my forum with your foul language. Next time you do it, the conversation will be over.

is that issue with the sandboxie config? is there a way i could open up that resource?

I don't think so. You already ran a Sandboxie trace and quoted it here. The trace did not show any resources that were blocked. This means the problem is not that simple, and I have to work it out first-hand. Unfortunately downloading this huge game was not going well for me and I gave up.

If you want to advance the issue, you need to find a smaller game or demo that exhibits the same symptoms, and let's hope that I can download that other game you find.
