I was never able to start the game : I get only a black screen and a Runtime error :
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime library
Runtime error !
Program :
This application has requested the runtime to terminate in an unusual way.
Please contact technical support.

Could you help me to solve this issue ?

Hi there, I’m sorry to hear you’re having problems running the game. With a full on crash like this, there should be an additional error log called error.log in the installation directory, next to Big Pharma.exe.

Can you see if you can find it an post it below?

In the mean time, could you also try the following:

  1. Running the game in administrator mode
  2. Updating your graphic card drivers.
  3. Disabling your Antivirus software (if any)
  4. Disabling any GPU overclocking software (if any, the one that I know causes problems is EVGA precision).

I’m sorry for any inconvenience caused. Let me know how you get on.

Tim
