gibsonlee Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I've looked at all threads and I seem to be the only one to have this problem. I've played this game for 11 years.This is the first time I've had to go through things like "Steam" and "Product code". After all that I am ready to start my game and I get another message "Failure to launch graphics" What on earth does this mean??? Please help someone.
