Scourge of War Boards

I downloaded the updated matrix version, I installed it no problem.
I start the game and get the desktop menu, when I hit Play,
I get a black square that overs half my screen, the square disappear after about a second, and then nothing more happens.

Hey Gunfreak,

Check and see if the anti-virus on your laptop is causing the issue where it could be quarantining the game exe file.

Also, make sure the game is running in the Compatibility" to Windows 7 mode. See following link :

Maybe a corrupted download ? maybe you can download the game again.....

Hope this helps..

Tried all that, no effect.

is directx 9 installed?

Have you tried starting the game with the exe that is in the home directory of the install ?

Nope it's a fresh Windows 7 install.

I saw from another post that you know to start with a CLEAN install. Other than that, a new download from Matrix with a fresh install should do it. If that doesn't work, like others said in previous posts, its gotta be an antivirus app interfering with the install, or a Directx 9 issue.
