What video card are you using?

Could you try to execute R6Vegas_Game.exe directly to see if it launches?

I have the same problem - just bought the game and have a Radeon 9800 256M graphics card which I notice is not supported at launch.

What does this mean long term ?

Will it never be supported ??

There is no plan to support cards that don't have shader model 3 capabilities. http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_frown.gif

I have the same problem. All graphic & audio drivers are up-to-date, game is version 1.02. I've played the game without any problem until the beginning of Mission 2 (arriving at Vegas). After that 2 minuntes playing, the game begin to freeze. So I rebooted, click on the game icon, and then nothing. The disk logo appears for a few seconds, and then... nothing happens.

I uninstall and install the game 2 times to no avail (each time with a defrag).

My conf : Intel Core 2 Duo 6400+, ATI X1900XT (SM3.0), soundblaster X-FI FPS, and just 1 drive DVD Writer (I hope it's not a securom pb).
Can anyone help ?

I finally fixed it.
I just did a complete uninstall (including uninstalling game saves and game options which I did not do in my previous attempts). Prior to that, I copied the "R6_SaveCHECKPOINT" file (located in "my do***ents\ubisoft\R6Vegas") into another drive. New install version 1.00 from DVD, the game launched ok at the end of install. I quit the game and ran it again to get the updater download the 1.2 patch. The game loaded fine. I quit the game and then copied my "R6_SaveCHECKPOINT" file into "my do***ents\ubisoft\R6Vegas". Now I can play the game from my last checkpoint.

I can't say the game works fine as I am facing the well-known dual core poor performance issue. Running the game on a single core does not solve it, but this is another topic now...
