hey FP'ers
I got Metro 2033, thinking, oh man the trailers look sick, and I'll get my hands on anything post-apocolyptic fallout 3-like
Well guess what, it doesn't work
I installed it and everything was fine, but when i try to launch a little bit of the intro shows, but then it crashes and i get the "This has crashed blah blah Send or Don't send info"
I've googled.
I've reinstalled (4 times total)
I've googled till my gogglers fell off.
I see the pirates are having hard times with this game, I AM NOT A PIRATE.
Three "special" pieces of software are needed for this game
1. Latest DirectX (I think this is working, when i get the DirectX updater, it says i have the latest version)
2. PhsyX (It says it's installed and when i uninstall it and try running it, it won't run at all, so i know it's installed...)
3. Some C++ Redist. I think this is my problem, it says it's installed in my Add or Remove Programs list, but when i try to install it, it just goes through a couple things, and it says "Gathering Information" and it just sits, then the window just closes.
Specs. Intel Pentium 4 dual core 3ghz
1GB RAM
8800GT 512mb
Windows XP
Don't tell me to upgrade... i'm saving money OK?!
HELP MEH! :(
well your specs are a little lower than minimum so i think even if you got it to work it wouldn't work anyways
Minimum:
Dual core CPU (any Core 2 Duo or better will do)
* DirectX 9, Shader Model 3 compliant graphics cards (GeForce 8800, GeForce GT220 and above)
* 1GB RAM

I don't think that REALLY matters...

it does with metro 2033
Your CPU fails to meet the minimum requirements which could be the reason its crashing. Does the game give any error code when it crashed or in the Event Log? The error could should show up when you hit the more info arrow.

What i posted above is what was in the Dr. Watson debugger log...
Cool to bad I don't know what to look for in it. Do any errors show up in the Event log about the game?
Yeah, this is the application error description about the crash:
Faulting application metro2033.exe, version 1.0.0.1, faulting module metro2033.exe, version 1.0.0.1, fault address 0x004b164f.

the pentium 4 is a horrible CPU as it is. the core 2 duo > pentium 4 by a longshot. you can NOT run this game.
