I just bought Ghost reCon gold edition for pc and after i installed it everything seemed to be normal. Then when you click on the icon on the desktop it does nothing. It seems to be loading the game at first but then loads nothing. My computer has all of the requirements. Help me fools!

To tHeReDsCaRe666,

Welcome to the game and forums! That's a good way to start asking for help L[img]/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-happy.gif[/img] L

Ok buddy follow the below uninstall and during install disable your anti virus software even when installing the patches. Now I want you to go to the below link and download both v1.3 &v1.4 patches and save them to HD or disk.

Patch v1.3, v1.4 http://www.ghostrecon.com/patch.php?param=pcgr

Once you have done this and followed the uninstalled instruction I have given I want you to follow the <font color="#00FF00">Install Gold Edition Version</font> at the bottom of the page. After that can you also post your dxdiag which is also at the bottom of the page to tell you how[img]/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-happy.gif[/img]

<font color="#00FF00">Dxdiag</font>

start/run/ type in dxdiag click ok/ when it has finished loading/system tab/ down the bottom click SAVE ALL INFORMATIOM to desktop/copy and paste that in the forums.

<font color="#00FF00">Copy/Paste</font>

You may know how to do this already, so overlook it if you do.

To copy/paste left click the left mouse button and while holding the left mouse button down drag it to the left then up the page until every word is highlighted. Then on any part of the highlighted words right click and a little window pops up and with the left mouse button click COPY.

Now come to the forums and place your thread for your problem and in the white space, right click the mouse button and another small window pops up. With the left mouse button click the word PASTE and your dxdiag is copy/pasted



<font color="#00FF00">GR Uninstall</font>

First of go to your add/remove program and uninstall GR/UBI and then follow below and delete the GR/UBI folders

1-start/all programs/accessories/windows explorer/my computer/local disk(c)/program files/red storm entertainment

2-start/all programs/accessories/windows explorer/my computer/local disk(c)/program files/UBI.com

To start from scratch uninstall all of GR and UBI and at your own risk do this but first back it up.

(1) start/run and type this: regedit and press ok

Up the top click file/export and on the pop up window down the bottom where it says (save as type) click the drop down arrow and click on ALL FILES. Then select your location and save.

repeat step (1)

1- hkey_current_user/software look for any red storm entertainment folders and delete along with any UBI soft folders

now do this:

2- hkey_local_machine/software look for red storm entertainment folders and delete along with any UBI soft and UBI soft entertainment folders and delete

now do this:

3- hkey_LocalMachine/ software/ Microsoft/ windows/ current version/ uninstall directory there should be a folder here named "{D89EF3B3-6F17-4665-B7A9-A4235A6DC787}" with some Ghost Recon info in it so delete only the ghost recon related info.


<font color="#00FF00">Install Gold Edition Version</font>

Do this in this order and it should work:

Uninstall ghost recon and all folders/files associated with the game. -Restart computer.
Re-install Ghost recon.
Install 1.3 patch. - install 1.4 patch.
Then install Desert siege and Island thunder.


<font color="#00FF00">Dxdiag</font>

Snipe,

Ghost Recon Gold edition does not require you to install the patch, it comes with it.


tHeReDsCaRe666,

I'm willing to bet you have an ATI video card and you're using the ATI catalyst drivers 3.8 or 3.9 (and possibly an E7205 chipset motherboard) . If that's the case, uninstalling those drivers (and the ATI control panel) and install ATI catalyst 3.6 or 3.7 (I prefer 3.6 as I have problems with 3.7). I had the same problem and that solved it for me. If you don't know what video card or drivers or need more specific instruction let us know (and post the DXdiag information Snipe requested).
