Went to play and the game won't launch. I get a black screen and then back to desktop. Went to their tech forum and saw others with this problem but didn't see any solution. Also see that there is a game ending glitch somewhere near the end of the game. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but that just wasted an hour of my time. Wrote to support.
Anybody have any suggestions while I wait?
Thanks.
Oops. Posted under the casual forum just wondering if any other players had input. Sorry!

I thought those "out of range" messages were people who play on their TV's.

And from what I've been hearing, Big Fish is taking weeks to respond to problems.

Good idea, to do a reboot. Sometimes those emails from Big Fish ask for a response and some of them don't. I'm not sure why. I hope the game keeps working for you. And I hope you don't hit that glitch - sometimes a workaround is posted for such things, but I don't know if there was anything mentioned for this one.

It is funny and also frustrating that games will work for some computers or laptops and not others in which Jenny100, Draclvr, Marian and others have mentioned many times can happen, I have had issues with some games while others have had zero problems, anyway, I was able to play this game on my almost 4 year old laptop with Windows 8.1 with NO problems at all. And just to add, I found this game to be the best of the series, I truly enjoyed this one. I hope you have solved your problem so you can enjoy playing this great game.

ARGH!
I tried to be positive thinking all would be well now.
Game won't open today.
If I look in task manager it says the game is running. If I right click on it in there, there is a option to "bring to front". What does that mean?
Oh wait. I think that was because I had the file open so I could right click to run as administrator since I cannot do that form the desktop icon.

Yea, see my edit. I don't think it was actually the game that was running somewhere.
So, I restarted my computer again and voila! The game works. I have half a mind to leave the game paused and my computer on but I really hate to do that while I am at work all day tomorrow.

Sorry I've been absent for a few days! Oldbroad, you might try doing a CTRL/ALT/DEL to bring up your task manager and see if you can find what is running in the background and then stopping the process.

ARGHHHH. Almost 10 hours of playing and some items appeared to go missing from my inventory but I continued on in case this was just part of the game, then the game closed down to the BF client and I clicked to play again and was notified that my player was corrupt and I should create a new one. I tried using the same player and the game restarted. It is a very good game but I don't think I want to try replaying 10 hours and then run into the same problem.

I guess that's why we're called "Glitches" down here! Sometimes the glitches are not easily solved!
