with out a report i have nothing to go on other than guesswork tbh

How to get a DirectX Diagnostic file:

1. click on "START"
2. click "run"
3. type in "dxdiag" and click "OK"
4. check through the tabs and perform all tests
5. click "Save all Information..." and save the text file to a location of your choice

We prefer that DxDiag files be posted as message attachments rather than pasted into the body of the post.

once the report has been made, just attach it to your post with first adding the file to a zip, which is then permitted to attach to the forum
Windows 11 Pro 64-bit (25H2) (26200.7309)

Have you tested this on the latest versions of Windows 10? I purchased this and the DLCs this morning figuring something being sold would be Windows 10 compatible, but even after uninstalling, doing a clean install and applying all of the suggested work arounds it sill kicks me out to the desktop when loading the tutorial or any scenario. Its get to loading battle evens then the music stops and kicks me out to desktop.

I'm sitting on unplayable game and DLC. I'm hoping to get a refund.

Here you go. Hopefully I can get this to work. It installed with no errors...I installed on my desktop as well as a laptop to see it it would run, but both failed

I'm now up and running. Lots of confusing threads about this and the fact Matrix hasn't posted the 1.02 update in the My Page Section has created a mess. They need to post the 102 for download and make it clear that if you do not install the 102 update before the 103 the game will crash...

Good to hear.

I tried to get the installation issue fixed with Matrix and they said they'd look into it, that was months ago. Anyway, here's our discussion thread concerning this issue:

Bottom line, as you know now, the fix is to install all three versions in order: 101,102, and 103.
