Twan Trienekens Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 Hi all Been playing Tower!3D for almost a year now on my 13 year old desktop. Works fine, but visual was not that great (no HD screen etc, only 4G of memory etc). Bought a new laptop 2 weeks ago, HP Envy Windows and is quite an upgrade in performance with everything I use. Everything, except for Tower!3D. Whatever I try, it will not run the program. Please see the attached file (short movie clip) of what happens when I try to run it after installing. That very short moment that I see the opening screen is as far as it will go. Next time when I try to run the program, nothing happens... Have tried multiple redownloads en clean installs, but it won't work. Anyone an idea of what is wrong, or what I am forgetting/should do different? Thanks for the help/suggestions upfront.

scoobflight Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 What is the Windows alert saying? What is the computer's video card? Did you install Tower as ADMINISTRATOR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twan Trienekens Posted March 31, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 Hi Scoobflight. Which alert are you referring to? If you mean the one before the game opens it says: DO you agree that this app from an unknown source makes changes to your computer? The video card is: NVIDIA GeForce MX450 Processor: Intel Core i7 (4,7GHz) 16G memory DDR4 I am the only account on this PC. I believe that this would make the administrator, correct? If not, then I might need some help 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try running the installer as admin and then running the game as admin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twan Trienekens Posted March 31, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 Hi scoobflight. As you can see in the attached movieclip, I am trying to run as administrator. Please understand, I have had this game almost a year on my previous computer, and it ran and played good on it. Therefore, I understand the usual issues 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobflight Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 Uninstall the game. Use right mouse click and select 'run as ADMINISTRATOR' to install the game. Use right mouse click and select 'run as admin' to run the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twan Trienekens Posted March 31, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 Thanks, will try that and let you know the outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliGrim Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 As @scoobflight said run the installer as admin and also try to install the game outside the Program Files directory. Either on another harddisk or partition, or you create a games folder on your C harddrive. Also make sure that no antivirus software is blocking the program. Your laptop should be more than sufficient to run Tower!3D. Your MX450 should not be the issue here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twan Trienekens Posted March 31, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 Hi guys. Really appreciate the help! Thanks 🙂 Uninstalled, re-installed as admin, ran the program as admin... Twice. No luck. Made a seperate folder on my C drive named Games, made another folder in the Games folder named Tower 3D Shut down Norton Firewall for an hour Re-installed as admin, ran the program as admin... No luck 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twan Trienekens Posted March 31, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 Hi, @MJKERR This I don't follow I'm afraid 🙂 I understand computers, but I don't "speak" computer that well lol. My laptop only has 1 SSD of 512GB in it. Can you please explain what I need to do now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So deleting it is unnecessary as is running the bat file. The tower bat file actually creates a game.log file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried turning off Wi-Fi before launching the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crbascott Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 @Twan TrienekensThe people in the threads linked below had an issue similar to you. To resolve it, they turned off Wi-Fi. I'd suggest giving that a try. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
