i downloaded Victoria from gamer gate and i installed the game and when i start the game while loading when it gets to initializing globe the game crashing back to desktop.
thank you in advance for your reply and help it means alot :)
 
Your best bets probably to redownload and install the game. It's probably a corrupted download. If that doesn't work then check out the tech support forum, there might be some answers in there.
 
What are you trying to install it on? ie a laptop or a netbook or a PC. If it's a netbook you can have problems with the resolution, the game needs 1024x768 whilst your netbook defaults to 1024x600. That would cause the exact problem you describe. Other than that I've got no idea.
 
Are you running Vista or windows 7? the game may not work on them(especially windows 7) check the website for the system specs it might tell you there

other than that the only thing I can think of is setting your monitor resolution to 1024x768 and see if that helps although thats a long shot

either way I'm out of ideas sorry
 
Try running the program in compatibility mode, for reference go into the properties of the shortcut and somewhere in there is an option to run the program in compatability mode for windows xp sp2. If that don't work your probably stuffed.
 
I had the same problem with Vista, what is the error saying? does it say it can't find some .dll file or something like that, Vista doesn't have that .dll I had that problem and had to download that .dll file from the internet. Then if worked fine.
