Game Won't Start on PC

Games Halo Wars Series
1

I got the game installed on my PC but it won’t start at all.
The windows just pops up and then disappears.

I don’t have the greatest system but it should be enough to run an old 360 game.

I have the a similar issue but my window doesnt close. It simply stays open in a blank window ( just a black page). Nothing happens and my system is quite good. I cant figure out why it does this.

Any luck?

Still isn’t working

the only method i’ve unfortunately found is to uninstall then reinstall when this happens. it can be quiet annoying as it happens often. good thing your info is saved so you can pick up where you left off.

I have found a (frustratingly temporary) workaround. It works 100% of the time however only because I have games tied to my account that are not installed on my system.

  1. Open Microsoft Store app and navigate to “My library”. (You do not have to be signed in).
  2. Under the “games” section find a game that is not installed on your system (this assumes you have a game that is not installed on your system. Killer Instinct is my example of choice because it is free).
  3. Click download (You do not have to download the game) navigate to the download section and click on pause, followed by cancel download (or simply cancel).
  4. Close the Store app.
  5. Launch Halo Wars (It should launch)

Dear Microsoft/343i: PLEASE FIX :slight_smile:

I have this same problem and none of the workaround work for me. Halo Launcher does not work, also downloading Killer Instinct does not work, Also uninstall and reinstall does not work, also reset game does not work.Someone, please help.

Okay, I made it past the crashing by removing the Halo Launcher app but now I’m stuck at press any key to continue, it never gets past this point.
