I'm assuming this has already be posted somewhere and resolved a long time ago. I can't seem to find the solution among the other bugs that are listed. Most seem to be after the game actually starts, mine is getting it to start at all.
I just bought the game from steam, downloaded and installed it. This is GT1, btw. I'm running Windows XP Pro SP3 on a computer that exceeds the minimum specs.
When I start the game via Steam, the "HeadUp Games" intro sails through, and when the GT intro screen loads in, my screen starts to flicker black, then acts like it's trying to go back to the GT intro screen, eventually flickers a glimpse of the intro screen again, and then crashes asking me to send the error report. While I was downloading the game from steam I browsed the forums a little and saw a bunch of people bitchin' about glitches and crossed my fingers that I wouldn't have to be one of them. Sigh. I'm just trying to get GT to launch.
Here's my config.xml file output. I modded the Intro Video trying to get it to work off a suggestion I read, but still no luck. I've also tried several resolutions with the same result. I'll post the Crash Report after this one.
