Game crash, need help

[DoktorKoktor]

Everything goes smooth up until I hit "play game" on the launcher. I have verified the integrity of the cache, and have uninstalled/reinstalled twice. Including logs below. Please help.

welcome to the forum, we have a tech support section just for this, for now i have moved the post here so you can be answered and seen better

viewforum.php?f=523

also with a help guide to explain in what forum and how to help us help you

viewtopic.php?f=523&t=86743

thanks and sorry about your issue

[zakblood]

without knowing your hardware it's hard to say or guess an answer, but this advice has helped many here so far,

Try starting the game in windowed mode and check if the issue persists.

In order to start the game in windowed mode, find a file named "Gladius.xml" in your Windows documents folder (....\Documents\Proxy Studios\Gladius\Configuration)

Open with a txt editor like Windows Notepad and find the following line:

<entry name="Video/DisplayMode" value="0"/>

Change it to:

<entry name="Video/DisplayMode" value="1"/>

Save the file on exit and run the game.

the READ FIRST: Reporting Issues pages gives us more details and helps us help you quicker and better

Could you please attach the game's log files and a DxDiag report file?

The log files can be found inside your Windows Documents folder at:

....\Documents\Proxy Studios\Gladius\Logs

How to get a DxDiag report file:

1. Click on "START" (on Windows 8/10 press “Windows key” and the “R” key at the same time)
2. Click "run" (skip this step on Windows 8/10)
3. Type in "dxdiag" and click "OK"
4. Check through the tabs and perform all tests
5. Click "Save all Information..." and save the text file to a location of your choice
6. Attach the file to your message
