Hi, I can't post in the workarounds section, so I thought this was the next best option.
I can't start the game in windows 10. I can load the client, but when I hit 'Play' the game crashes, saying that an unexpected error has occurred. I've sent in a few error reports through the client.
I'm running an older laptop that I updated to windows 10. I know this isn't recommended, but all other programs have worked so far.
I've followed all the other advice I could find online about issues with MWO, including updating all drivers, running the game in administrator mode, and looking through the event viewer for a crash (there are none). I also can't find the log file in the install directory that was mentioned in an older post, otherwise I would copy that here.
Does anyone have an idea to help me out? I played MWO on this laptop before updating, and it's a huge bummer that it no longer works.
Thanks

try downloading and installing directx 9c, and the visual c++ redistributable, in both cases it may tell you it is already installed but install them anyway.
that was a common problem on Windows 8 so could be your problem

I'm using Windows 10 (preview on latest build due to being Microsoft insider), no problems here.
Jedi's suggestions are solid, try these.

I have three systems running Windows 10 and MWO runs on all of them, but on two i did have some initial issues. Oddly enough the two that were problematic were the fresh install on a brand new system i built for my son and the other was a brand new Windows 10 laptop that i recently bought. My desktop which i upgraded from Windows 7 to 10 ran MWO fine right away. If the Previous suggestions don't work try uninstalling C++ and then reinstalling. Good luck and let us know how it works.
