Game crash on start up

[S0ny B1ack]

I recently purchased the game and already played a few hours before the latest patch (i didn't have much time for playing since the patch) and i wanted to continue my campaign today so i started the game but i can even start it anymore. I get an popup saying: "failed to initialize the engine". I already tried to verify the integrity of the game cashe, but it didn't help, so i uninstalled the game and redownloaded and reinstalled it, but i still get the error. I'll attach my DXdiag.

Have you tried running the 2ndry installers for the game?

Located here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\defenders of ardania\install

I'll try it later, thanks for the help 2Coats I'll report here if it works.

Sadly it did not help :S Still the same error... Is there any possibility to go back one version, because it worked fine before the patch...

Has anyone maybe found any possible solution for this problem? Or at least some idea what could be done?

I got mine working after disabling the secondary gfx-card I have on my laptop.
Mine is running a Radeon as primary (dependant on power-settings) and Intel HD chip when on power-saving.

All I did was enter the device-management screen and disable the Intel HD one.

It's worth a shot!

Thank you mate I just tried it and it works now! Never thought that the additional graphic chip could be the probem...
