Fez won't launch

Closed
Sonikko

Guys, I bought the humble indie bundle just for Fez, and it won't even launch on Windows 8. Anybody has the same problem? I tried changing the resolution like they wrote on the steam forums!

What are your computer specs? I know that Fez won't launch on some laptops with integrated graphics.

I have a desktop computer, an Ati Radeon 4600 series HD can't remember the exact model, and a 2.6ghz Intel Processor!

run it in compatability mode for windows 7. Fez doesn't run on windows 8

I think that this is the most useful advice, it runs just fine on my windows 7 and I also go the humble bundle.

Fez runs on Windows 8 for me, so OS isn't a major problem.

(Oh and to top it off, I'm using Intel integrated graphics. :3)

"Have you tried these...

A PC restart

Checked all drivers are up to date

Changed screen resolution to 1280 x 720

Changed FEZ's settings.txt file to launch in 1280 x 720

(The default location for the FEZ Settings file should be in this directory (At least on Windows 7): C:UsersYOUR USERNAME HEREAppDataRoamingFEZ)

Checked 'Steam' cache integrity

Reinstalled

Manually reinstalled secondary launchers ('DirectX', 'DotNet', 'OpenAL', 'vcredist')

Ran as Administrator

Ran in compatibility mode (7, Vista, XP)

Forced to launch in a window

Edited 'Steam' Launch Options to include the line '-singlethreaded' or '-st' " "

Also try to update your graphics drivers.

Tips taken from FEZ steam forums.

And some people say the argument of 'no hassle' on consoles is invalid. XD

Did you tried the Humble Bundle version, which you can download from your list on the Humble Bundle site?
