Just bought this game and it does not load...

Instead I received this message on a black background:

'An error has occured.

Unable to open resource file: core.BlueResourcePC_Windows

Press escape to launch the debugger.’

Pressing escape does nothing.

I’m running Windows 8 Pro (x64) on MBP (bootcamp 5.0)

H/W Spec:
i7-2820QM CPU @ 2.30GHz
Radeon HD6750M
8GB Ram

This partition runs other Win8 apps fine (e.g. Rayman, ilomilo and Gunstringer)

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
-James

I would try reinstalling and seeing if that works

Gave that a go, exact same error :frowning:

Here is the application event log entry:

The program Game.exe version 0.0.0.0 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Action Center control panel.

The silly thing is I can see this ‘core.BlueResourcePC_Windows’ file in my C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.HaloSpartanAssault_1.2.0.0_x86__8wekyb3d8bbwe directory.

Still no joy post patch. Does anyone here possess the skills to diagnose this issue? I;ve tried uninstalling and re-installing multiple time. As said, all other Win8 apps/games work flawlessly in the environment. :frowning:

Really no ideas? Perhaps because it’s bootcamp put people off. Ah well.

I know this is a old post but if you read this and have same problem just go to data folder in game location ( halo spartan assault/data) and select all file with Ctrl+a
Then back to Previous folder(halo spartan assault) and paste all file

Problem fix and Game run fine
