Cross of Iron on Steam

Post by Shiftysteam »

NOT WORKING. Game loader launches out of steam but when you click play it crashes without so much as an error code. No tech support on steam which is disappointing. I would very much like to play CC3 The Russian Front so what is the fix?

Were you running the non-Steam version prior to purchasing on Steam?

Is there a folder Documents/My Games/CloseCombatCrossOfIron?

Cheers

Negative, did not have a non-steam version prior. If I click on browse local files it goes to the steam folder so everything seems to be linked properly. Some people in forums have mentioned resolutions being a problem so I have messed with those to no avail.

We're investigating this issue. Please let me know what screen resolution you're using for your main display, and if you have multiple monitors or not. Thanks!

So you are on a system with dual monitors?

Can you please post the contents of the OPTIONS.TXT file in Documents/My Games/CloseCombatCrossOfIron.

Cheers

Also, please try temporarily setting your system to use one display only, then see if Cross of Iron starts.

If you're willing to help test a potential fix for this, let me know.

Thanks for your patience on this issue.

I wouldn't buy this game on steam, they seem to charge quite a lot more than sites like GOG.
