The game does not start: causes and solutions

System requirements

In the description of each game there is a list of minimumsystem requirements. If your computer does not match the above list, the game either does not go at all, or it will hang or give out all sorts of errors.

Very important for correct displaymodern games with impressive graphics has a video card. If it is not powerful enough, the game will not work. Also, be sure to pay attention to the amount of system memory - the one that is required by your PC to perform the tasks assigned to it. If the hardware on your computer is more intended for basic user work (use of office programs, Internet surfing, viewing audio and video files), then powerful, "cool" games, it does not pull.

Viruses

Often the reason why there are no games,is the infection of the computer with viruses. Being able to negatively impact all components of the computer, operating system, software, without exception, viruses simply do not allow the installed programs (including games) to work correctly.

Regularly scan your PC, as well as allflash media (phones, flash drives, players) that you connect to it. And for this you can use both full-fledged antivirus programs and light "portable" versions, which you can download directly to the USB flash drive and check the files that you are going to write to the device. And it is better to choose the more reliable paid products - they have a much higher threshold of protection with a much smaller number of possible errors / malfunctions.

Programs

In order for games to work on a computer, it is necessary to have programs that support this process. First of all, it is:

DirectX. A key utility that you need to not only install, but also update regularly. Otherwise, the computer will give an error like "There is no file d3dx9_37.dll in the system";
Visual C ++. Another important component. If it is not present on the PC, the system will issue an error "Microsoft Visual C ++ Runtime Library ...";
Net Framework;
Games for windows live. This program you will need to be able to participate in network games;
Adobe Flash Player or Silverlight 4. They will be required for different online applications.

Drivers

They are required for both the video card and foraudio cards. Moreover, these programs must be regularly updated. If for some reason you do not have / do not auto-update, you should do it manually.

If the drivers are installed, but the system does not caregives an error, then, perhaps, the program was installed incorrectly or for some reason "flown away". In this case, you just need to reinstall it again.

Also keep in mind that any PC element canfail, including the same video card. Determine the cause of the failure can only specialist. So if you can not find the reason why the game does not start, you should consider this option by sending your PC for diagnostics.

the Internet

If the network game does not start, then, quite possibly, the reason lies in the low speed of the Internet. You can check it on this site.

If a similar problem occurs occasionally, then,it is possible that the server just has some kind of problem, it is overloaded (for example, on weekends, holidays). Then you just need to wait for the speed to gain momentum.

If difficulties arise often, there can be three reasons:

There is a problem with the router, cable, connectors and other connection elements.
You have a budget plan thatassumes a low speed. Change the package to a more expensive one, and the speed will also increase. Or you can look for a provider who is ready to give you a faster Internet for a little money. This market is very competitive, and therefore, it is possible that you will find what is required.
The provider deceives you, giving out speedThe one that was promised to them when selling the tariff plan. In this case, you can either file a complaint with the administration, or simply change the company to an honest one.
