If you are having problems with crashes or graphics glitches, try updating your graphics drivers. You can find details here:

Open ‘Display adapters’, right click on your display adapter and select properties.
Click on the ‘Driver’ tab and check the name of the provider. If you have Microsoft drivers, then please uninstall this driver (which can be done from the Driver tab described above). You can then update your drivers by doing this:

As soon as initialise the game it crashes and closes immediately, updated graphics card to latest version as recommended on FAQ's, messaged the childish things team but no response and its been over an hour. Frustration city here!

[Ranga]

Pretty annoying, zzz. I tried uninstalling it after i got all the new drivers but still didnt fix the problem.

I have had similar issues. As soon as open the game it crashes 5-10 seconds later. I have tried about 20 times with no luck.

[akkyagrawal]

[Ranga]

Somebody help us , I wanna plaaay haha.

Some people still having graphic issues/bugs after they've updated their drivers. If this is the case, try disabling the Steam overlay:
- Right click on the game in the Steam library.
- Click properties.
- Untick 'enable the steam overlay while in-game'.

Hi Ranga,

You have a different issue with your screen resolution. I'm just trying to find a way to re-set this by hand.

Cheers boss !

Ranga - your issue is slightly different by the look of it. Let's try setting your screen resolution by hand.

We need to get you to where the options.xml is located.

It should be in "C:\Users\[*Your User Name*]\AppData\Roaming\Childish Things\International Cricket Captain 2014\Saves\options.xml"

If you then open up the options.xml in some kind of editor i.e. notepad, find the following settings resolution and fullscreen and change them to whats below, hopefully this should put you in 1024x768 windowed. This will then allow you to customize to what you want

<FullScreen value="0"/>
<Resolution value="67109632"/>

You can also try 800x600 if that doesn't work:
<FullScreen value="0"/>
<Resolution value="52429400"/>

I get as far as n "C:\Users\[*Your User Name*]\AppData\Roaming\Childish Things\International Cricket Captain 2014\Saves\ then there is no options file i can go into.

Hi Chris,

When i first started the game the screen looked like this. Should it be like this?
