I have VT on Steam and I've been playing for a while now. However, since it's release not too long ago, I am not able to launch the game at all.

All it did was "Preparing to launch Vector Thrust" and then nothing happen.

Can anyone help?

Hello there lanzerince. Sorry for the late reply I was asleep. As for your problem please try these following fixes.

  • Check to see if your graphics and sound card drivers are up to date with the latest digitally signed stable versions provided by the card manufacturers. Download and install the latest digitally signed OpenAL v2.1.0.0 drivers from here:1drv.ms
  • Verify the game cache, if you're wondering how to do that follow this:
    Go to your Steam library.
    Right click on Vector Thrust.
    Go to Properties.
    Go to the Local Files Tab.
    Click on Verify Integrity of Game Cache.
    Let Steam scan the game and redownload any missing or corrupted files.
    Restart Steam after its finished checking the game cache.
  • Then go to:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\
  • Locate the following files:
    ClientRegistry.blob and rename the file to ClientRegistryOld.blob.
    AppUpdateStats.blob and rename the file to AppUpdateStatsOld.blob.
  • Next time you start Steam, the renamed files will be forced to download. Boot up Vector Thrust and see what happens.
  • After starting the game. If it crashes locate the ogre.log file in:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\VectorThrust\
  • If it mentions anything about Direct3D9 or OpenAL errors, do the following below.
  • Find the confg.ini file, it can be locate here:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\VectorThrust\
  • Edit it with Notepad and replace following lines with what is shown below and just change the width (xxxx) and height (yyyy) to your monitor size:

    [renderer]
    width = xxxx
    height = yyyy
    FSAA = 0
    colourDepth = 32
    vsync = true
    fullscreen = true

    [Display]
    GraficQuality = 4
    ModelQuality = 4
    TextureQuality = 4
    WorldQuality = 4
    EffectsQuality = 4
    EffectsNumber = 3
    Bloom = false
    Glow = false
    Distortion = false
    Radial Blur = false

  • After that save the file and restart Vector Thrust.
