Virtually all gamers have long been accustomed tothe fact that any computer game can bring a lot of trouble before launching. After all, there are very different errors that can arise at any time, and you need to know the reasons for their appearance and solutions. Fortunately, almost always in the error message is written its number, as well as some information about what went wrong. That's why the most terrible at first glance looks like a problem, the message about which looks like this: "Unable to start the game: an unknown error." What to do in this case, because there is no information that could be used to find a solution?
Error Details
To begin with it is necessary to understand with that, when canthere is this problem, because the message: "Unable to start the game: an unknown error" - does not occur on your screen randomly. This error does not appear during the installation phase, and so far there have been no reports that it occurs during the game. Accordingly, you can meet it only during the launch phase. Most often, errors are manifested exactly then, and this is not an exception to the rule. Now that you know when you can meet the problem, you will not be so surprised if it arises. However, it is much more important to know what exactly you need to do if you still received a message with the text: "Unable to start the game: an unknown error".
Game Cache Integrity
If you run the game through the "Steam" platform,then the first thing you need to do if you get the message "Can not start the game: an unknown error" is to check the integrity of the game cache. This action is a universal way, and you should take the habit of using it in any case. If you have any problems with the game - go to your library in the "Steam", select the game you want, and then in the settings choose the item "Check the integrity of the game cache", and then the test will run. If the system finds any discrepancies between your client and how it should look in reality, the necessary files will be automatically downloaded. However, this method does not always help, so you need to learn more possibilities in case you do not run games in "Steam".
Run as administrator
Another way that can help you inThis case is the launch of the game on behalf of the administrator. Again, very often this method can help you in many situations with computer games, when by default your computer allocates insufficient memory and other resources to run the game. And most importantly - the game does not get the right rights to perform certain actions within your operating system. Running as an administrator solves this problem, but does not always help with an unknown error.
System width
All previous methods were more or lessuniversal - they will allow you to solve the problem, but the chance of success will not be particularly high. But do not get upset, because there is another method that fits exclusively for this problem. If you do not run games on 7 "Windows", then first of all you need to check the bit depth of your OS version. The fact is that such a mistake always occurs when you try to run on the 32-bit Windows those games that were developed for a 64-bit system. Unfortunately, this problem can not be solved in a simple way - you will have to reinstall the system, this time selecting a 64-bit version. If you have the option, you can simply install the second shell, but to date, there is no serious reason to keep an obsolete 32-bit system.
