    Demo won't start

    I downloaded the demo via steam and installed it. When i try to run it, a little window with Mafia 2 logo shows up and then closes. Nothing else happens. No message saying whats wrong.

    My hardware is not the problem, thats for sure. I read through the other threads on this forum and there seems to be other people like me having the same problem. Anyone knows what might be wrong?

    I played the first game when it came out years ago and it is my favourite game of all times. Now i can't wait to play this one!

    Thanks for your time and help!

    I've tried DL'ing it 3 times-all with the same outcome. Good ol' X.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.
    Screw it, I'll wait for the full game to come out.

    what if it has the same issue ? then you wasted your money... specially since STEAM games CANNOT be resold

    BTW I don't even get a message whatsoever , I am just back in desktop after 2 seconds black screen

    I have a similar problem. The game starts, the screen turns black and then quits the game without an error message. I have a 17-inch Philips LCD monitors are.

    Sorry for the bad english.

    Go to

    Start / Run

    Type in 'dxdiag' (without the inverted commas), press Enter
    Click 'save all information'

    Open up the txt file and paste text in here....it will give people a better understanding of your system

    Thx

    -- Edit--

    I have the same problem, a splash screen opens, and then it just closes, sometimes giving me a "... has stopped working" message.

    My dxdiag is here: http://pastebin.com/6RGiYuJk

    Running an m11x r2
    Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU U 640 OC'd to 1.44 ghz (Turbo Mode 2.72 ghz)
    Memory: 4GB Dual Channel DDR3 at 800MHz
    GPU: 1GB NVIDIA GeForce GT 335M

    A couple of questions:

    * Is the NVIDIA GeForce GT 335M supported by Mafia II (As its a mobile chipset) ?

    * Have you got the latest Forceware installed (or equiv graphics driver) ? I couldnt see any reference to it in that Directx report

    My demo on PC worked, but after 7 hours of total gameplay time it suddenly stopped working in a way you've described for no reason, redownloading didn't help.
