Crashes upon Startup with Windows 10 Creators Update[citation needed]
|
- Dead Rising 2: Off the Record installs on Windows 10 Creators Update, but launching the game fails. It appears that something is causing the game to not create the
RenderSettings.ini file.
- If you have Dead Rising 2 installed (which is oddly NOT affected by this issue), you can use the
RenderSettings.ini generated by it to get Dead Rising 2: Off the Record working.
- Go to
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Dead Rising 2\
- Right click on and select to copy the
RenderSettings.ini from this folder.
- Go to
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Dead Rising 2: Off the Record\
- Paste the
RenderSettings.ini file into the root of this folder
- Launch the Game

- Open Programs and Features:
- Vista and later: Open the Start screen/Start menu, type
appwiz.cpl and press ↵ Enter.
- Windows XP: Press ⊞ Win+R, type
appwiz.cpl and press ↵ Enter.
- Remove both Microsoft Games for Windows - LIVE Redistributable and Microsoft Games for Windows Marketplace.
- Install the Games for Windows Marketplace Client.
- Go to
<path-to-game>\support\DirectX\ . Run DXSETUP.exe and allow any additional components to install.
- Go back up to the installation folder. Like steps 5 and 6, set
deadrising2otr.exe to run as an administrator and in compatibility mode, but this time select Windows 7 as the mode. Press OK to accept the changes.
- Run
deadrising2otr.exe by double-clicking on it, instead of through Steam.
- Allow Games for Windows Live to automatically update, but do not reboot; simply continue with the game as normal.
Notes
- If you are able to play the game to the point of standing in a locker room, then this fix has worked.
