Game not launching

★★★ Novice

Hi, 

 I got the game last month. I could play the game then. 

 Recently, i did a windows reset, after which i had to download the game files again. 

The game won't launch now. I've already tried repairing the game files.

When I launch the game it shows up in the task manager for a few seconds and then disappears. 

   Please note specs are not a problem as I could run the game before.

UPDATE : It's fixed. 

 

 I had origin installed on my :F drive previously. The reset must have somehow messed it. 

 I reinstalled origin on :C and now it launches. 

 

 Thanks for the help.

Can you post your DXDiag:

What kind of windows reset?  The built-in reinstallation?

 

Does your old  \Documents\Plants vs Zombies GW2  folder still exist from previously?  Try rename (or delete) that folder in Documents, this will reset settings to default.

Here is the DXDiag :  http://hastebin.com/icuzuqetud.tex

 

Yes, the built in re-installation. 

 

That folder did exist, I deleted it and tried launching game. Still won't open.

Windows is not fully updated it is still on TH1 , are there further windows updates available to you ?

 

Ensure the nvidia is selected as the card to run the game , in the nvidia control panel find the pvz profile and ensure the nvidia card is selected, it maybe also be worth dropping back to nvidia 355.98 driver as a test and see if any change as well.

   No, it says your device is up to date.

Is this how you forced the 860m to work?

nVidia Control Panel -> 3D Settings -> Program Settings -> Add Program (PvZ:GW2) -> High Performance Processor

 

Also set your DPI settings to 100%  (currently it looks like it's at 125%)

Restart or relog to take effect

 No, as far as I can remember, nvidia settings were on auto detect. Besides I already tried high performance with no result. 

Also, scaling down did not work. though that was always 125%.
