Alright, I'm stumped so I'm turning to you fine folks.
I'm trying to get the English version of Closed Area Block Z (RE304544) to run, but every time I start it up the window opens and then immediately disappears - a CTD with no error message. In order to get the game this far, I had to add the 32 bit version of the directx9 dll (d3dx9_43 to be specific) to the game's directory. Running a laptop with windows 10 64 bit, Japanese language pack installed and System Locale set to default to Japanese for unicode programs.
I've tried running it as Admin and in compatibility mode for windows 7 and 8. I've tried redownloading the program and re-extracting it. I've activated Windows 10's Internet Information Services features to run applications that normally only run on 32bit versions of windows. I haven't seen posts from other people having this issue, but the game also seems to work on 10 for plenty of people. Any ideas?
The game don't require much normally. Closing immediatly is usually either a language setting problem or a virus (read : anti virus) problem.
So I'll sugest you try 2 thing :
- Add an exception to your AV (or turn it of) and start the game again.
- Even in japanese setting, name too long or even sometime just with non local character can make a Japanese game crash, so try to move the game to a folder with a short path and a simple name (like c:\ RE304544\ to try it out).
