<t> 1. When you start the game, do you see a new Reforged Launcher (brown, says Germany Reforged)? <br/>
Yes, though nothing in game after clicking launch refers to reforged<br/>
2. Do you see a thank you dialog once the game starts (after the animations and in the splash screen)? <br/>
No<br ...

<t> Ok, I have my Matrix install working. I think that when I had to reformat my computer I did not realize that the download available on Matrix is not the full install, it is just the patch. As said previously, this is a little vague. Once I got with Matrix to get a full install file it works fine ...

<t> Combing the two installs gets me into the game, but each has a DRM type error. The Matrix install cannot find the serial file, and the Steam version cannot find steam. I think that I have some registry files that are not getting deleted by the uninstaller, as even after uninstalling the Matrix ...

<t> I am beginning to wonder if the installer from Matrix is not correct. The file downloaded has "update" in the name, which may just be how it is named. However, my install is ~100mb less than one from steam. I copied files from my Steam directory to my Matrix install, and got the game to start ...

Where can I find older versions of the installer? On matrix it just shows me 2.09 and steam obviously automatically does the latest version.

Thanks again for the help!

<t> Running as admin has the same result. If I remember correctly I got the file missing error when I ran the beta, with 2.09 release version I get an access error. From steam I still get nothing by using the launcher, and a steam not found error when I use the steam .exe. Though there it does start ...

<t> Please be aware that in my post "<br/>
Game will not start after hitting play or .exe" a few threads down, that I have a access error that keeps the game from starting at all. Mine is also related to another threat about a missing "colors" file. I have a dxdiag and bug report in my original ...

This is the same issue that I posted in "
Game will not start after hitting play or .exe" post a few down, so there is more information from my dxdiag and a bug report there.

I tried the 2.09beta again and here is the error report if it helps.

For some reason the forums will not let me post anything of substance as it thinks I am posting a phone number, email address, etc. I have posted my message at the top of the attached Dxdiag. Essentially I am getting access errors.

Thanks for any help you can offer.
