ok, to my system specs,
I'm using a quad core 2.4gig rig with a Geforce GTX 280 graphic GPU.
i dun overclock anything on my system..

Running the Windows 7 RTM 64 bit.
install Resident Evil 5.
Run directx 10 version, it loads , I can see the capcom logo..
but after the nvidia logo, the screen turns black and it stays there indefinitely..
i can still see my mouse cursor however and I can move it around normally..
the game just won't load pass that stage..

tried running the directx 9 version. same problem.

I've updated the Windows live, I've updated my sound drivers, I've updated my graphics driver.
I tried setting compatibility for it to vista, sp3 etc etc, same problem pops up..

anyone who ran into this problem and knows how to solve it, please post here..
thanz..

hey guys..

good news.. i figured out whats wrong with my game.
from some guys tip off in another forum, it appears to be a rather mundane issue thats causing my problem..

i can play this with AA one and at high resolution and stuff and no problem at all..
it also is faster than playing under my windows XP..
hehe..

oh sorry, to my problem, its because of my windows 7 incapability to play the intro movies from RE5.
after creating a dummy file of the same name and replacing those movies in the RE5 folder, the game ran as smooth as buttered grease..

but i tried with other movie formats and it all runs fine, it just can't run the RE5 movie at all.. not sure why..
anyway, i wanna thank kemical and highwayman for being so helpful .

you...

Thanks for that Highwayman..

I also wondered if slippknot had tried to run the demo? If you can get this to run then surely you could get the game to run??

now onwards to me new problem..

do you guys LAN this game with your friends..?

i did this once Using hamachi and this DLLLoad.exe from Teknogods..
it worked when my friend came over and connected to my system through LAN..

but now, I tried it with him thru the internet (he is back at his place)
but for some reason, whenever I tried to join, it will say "This game session has been canceled"
but my friend is still waiting for me to join on the other side..

so wondering whether you guys used a different method to LAN with friends..

Hmm... there is someone who does a lot of LAN gaming in the forum I'm just trying to remember who.... (sorry it's still early and I haven't had my coffee yet lol) I'll think on it and hopefully remember...

Hi there, umm I believe the main cause of not seeing the online game after using the LAN hack is because you still have the hacked file which the online version will block by default as it will think its hacked cheat codes etc, so you would have to remove and replace original files it overwrites or changes.

Basically from the sound of it it's one of the Games for windows live offline hacks, basically GWFL forces LAN modes to only work on a strick 30ms or under connection (Thus renders Hamachi almost useless as typically most pings are higher than 30ms), so basically only allows people in a actual LAN (Not VPN) to use the feature...the hack basically opens the ping restriction to play via hamachi in GFWL Offline mode, However new updates of GFWL often block such apps as will always show up as mod thus gets banned for online modes.

Assuming the hack was able workaround that issue, then the fault would fall down to firewalls and portforwarding not being correctly configured on both machines, remembering you need firewall & portforwarding setup for hamachi & the game

nah, i dun use a router so no port forwarding required..

well, going back to me and my friend who came over my house with his lappy..
we didn't actually connect the game via LAN.. we had to use hamachi and stuff
and basically, we linked networked, shared the internet, then enable hamachi for both systems
and bam, a sleepness night of zombie bashing..

the problem comes when the friend went home and we tried to link up again..

i dare say its a problem with his system because I just test run the linking with some random
dude and it works...
soooooooooooo

*shrugs*

thanz for your reply, highwayman..
