Game won't start

Hello,

I just reinstalled the game to play again but it wouldn't start.

HGW loads to the step 13, closes and thennnn... nothing.

I tried

- Reinstall the game
- Close every program
- Restart computer (and have all programs not start that aren't required.)
- Try to launch in various compatibility mode.
- SFC / chkdsk, all those kinds of tools
- Ccleaner

I found a guide that might help, but I don't know the current game version nor do I have a friend to check with

I don't have any errors, and logs seems to be preinstalled in the game?

Cheers, and hopefully I'll have an answer soon :-)

    I got that but no clue if it's good as I don't have anyone to compare.
  • I made it work one time but I just restarted, again to put back all the changes to how it was.

    Then I started it one time, still didn't work, then I decided to start it again but, this time I clicked on the HGWC window to move it around and it somehow worked this time.
  • Oh well I got on the game, and apparently Ghost Mode is dead, and it's the mode I wanted to play D: What happened there siiigh it used to be popular
