Think of a game like a music CD.

If its faulty you can exchange it for another.

But if it is not faulty and you don't like the tunes, sorry, thats not a reason to return it.

1. Insert CD into the CD drive

2. Install game

3. Run game perfectly

4. Install patches

5. Game won’t run!!!!!

6. Solution: Remove the CD from the drive and place it in the other drive. It works like magic

If you DO NOT install the patches, does the game run?

Its probably not the CD thats faulty - hundreds of us play the game.

Its more likely your CD drive or some setting within your PC.

Just because you can run some software does not mean all other software will work on your PC.

Hmmm... could be a possible video problem.... I had a similar problem trying to run Medevial. Something in my directx was screwed up...
What i did was - found the opening video files, moved it to a completely different directory and then the game would start just fine. Not sure if UV stores the opening video files on the hard drive (there are 3 AFAIK). If it does try deleting or renaming them and see what happens.

Do you have problems running any other games or is it just UV? Noticed any video problems recently?

Locate where you installed it and double-click on the uncommonvalor.exe instead of the start.exe which your shortcut is launching to get directly into the game. Report back what happens.
