Check latest drivers for best performance of games and common fixes

 

 

 This post is just to help guys who are facing some common problems with running games. These problems occur due to absence of or outdated drivers required to play the games.

So before complaining about the games not running check the following guidelines.

Before downloading any game check that whether your system can run the game or not.
You can check it in the game description or here;



Basic Guidelines:
For best performance and video quality, please make sure you have the latest drivers for your video card, sound card and DirectX when running the game.

You can get the following softwares from their original sites.

Latest NVIDIA Drivers:

DirectX End-User Runtime:

Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86)

Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x64)

Latest Creative Labs Drivers:

Latest Intel Drivers:

Latest AMD Drivers:

Latest Saitek Drivers:
Microsoft .NET Framework 4 (Standalone Installer)
To save games like Resident Evil 5 and Street Fighter x Tekken etc. you need to install "Games for Windows Live Offline" installer. You can download it from following


Other fixes:

Getting "CRC failed in the encrypted file (wrong password ?)"
Reason: RAR cannot distinguish a corrupt file and wrong password. If it were possible, it would make encryption weaker. Therefore, such a message may indicate both a wrong password and a corrupt file.
Solution: Most likely it is not a password problem, but a download that was corrupt. Open Winrar, select "commands" drop down list , "test archived files" to find out what file/files are giving you this error.  If you identified the problem link do one or more of the following: 
1-"winrar repair" the specific file (use alt + R to repair archive)
2-Re-Download the problem link and that should fix your problem.



Lastly look at the following link to get a clear idea of what problem you are facing.
