Frictional Games Forum (read-only)

Hi,

i just purchased SOMA in steam and wanted to play it but i keep getting a crash on startup...
i did everything that the forums told me.
update drivers, check compatibility nosteam.exe, run as admin everthing and i still cannot get it to work.
i hope someone can help me.....

PS: i got a gaming laptop ROG G750JZ on wich it works fine without problems so far
and my main RIG wich has the problem... specs wise the rig is an overkill for the game but it does not launch...

i added the hpl file

That means you are running an Intel 3000 card. Go to a link here; you will find out which other problems you may have introduced.

What happens when you run the game via its normal executable? Does it give you a different error there? Either the steam or nosteam option.

Edit: Just seen the timecode, so sorry if we missed you OP.
