Tropico 5 crashes on start

[gabrielmm3]

So, I've installed Tropico 5 from EA Access yesterday.

But I can't play at all... Whenever I open the game, the game enters for like 20 seconds or less and then crashes...

I just want to play the game. I've tried reinstalling, getting a hotfix from the developer for physical disk (which wouldn't work but doesn't hurt to try)

Can someone help me?

Sorry to hear that you are having issues @gabrielmm3.

As Tropica 5 is not an EA title then the level of support that we can offer is limited.

Can you grab me a DxDiag so that I can take a look at your system: https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/pc/how-to-gather-dxdiag-information/

Once I get a look at your DxDiag then we can take it from there.

I am having the exact same issue. Not sure if it's related, but i just updated to Win10 1903. I haven't played the game since last week, but the only difference i know of is that update.

My DXDIAG attached.

Hello, I have experienced exactly the same problem. The game crashes shortly after the intro. Working on the latest Windows 10.

Hey all, can you try opening your install folder for Tropico 5 and in the folder common/Tropico 5/Common/Redist can you run the secondary installers. You need to run all the executable files in there and then restart your PC. Let me know if it helps fix the issue.

I don't have that folder. Under the Tropico 5 folder is Core, Local, Movies, Packs, and Support. No common or redist.

Is there anything in the local folder @Sagrag?

If the files for the secondary install are not there then it may be worth contacting Haemimont Games support to see what they can suggest: https://www.haemimontgames.com/support/
