-Please ensure you are using the latest non-Beta driver from your graphics card manufacturer.

To check that your drivers are current, please use one of the links below for your video card:

• Intel: http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect?iid=dc_iduu

For laptops, please note that you may have more than one video card (Intel + another brand) so be sure to update both if that is the case.

-Reinstall VCRedist and DXSetup

In the following location:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\The Sorcerer King\_CommonRedist\vcredist\2010

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\The Sorcerer King\_CommonRedist\vcredist\2005

Run: vcredist_x64.exe ('Repair' option when prompted)

In the following location:

Reboot and try to run the game again.

-Please disable any overclocking software (ex. EVGA Precision X) or graphical overlays (ex. Overwolf).

Overclocking your graphics card can often result in instability and unpredictable behavior, please try playing with the graphics card's stock settings. Additionally, applications that draw a graphical overlay (or OSD) can cause additional issues and should therefore be disabled prior to continuing.

-Try deleting the game prefs:

Delete the prefs.ini file from the repective Stardock game folder located here and try to run the game again.

-Try removing the game entirely from Steam (if you have the Steam version) and reinstalling:
