Beta Issues - Crash on Launch

First off, your directions on the Steam forums tell people they should post in the Feedback and Issues forum, but permissions don't allow us to. Might want to fix either the post or the permissions.

Just finished downloading and installing the beta and as soon as I try to start, the game crashes. Tried restarting steam, validating game files, and nothing. I've run into similar issues with other games, and my first hunch is that it may be an issue with 64-bit.

System info:
AMD Phenom II X4 B35 @ 3.2GHz
8GB DDR3 RAM
Radeon HD 5770 1GB
Windows 7 Professional 64-bit

Try restarting your Steam client and launch the game again.

Getting a similar issue. Also Win 7 Professional 64 Bit. i5, 4GB RAM, HD 4890.

I see the splash screen and it crashes immediately afterwards. Other UE3 games work fine on my system. I've tried rolling back my video driver to the 10/23 version, but that did not fix the issue. I'm currently redownloading the game from Steam to see if that fixes it.

If it crashes again don't uninstall game, but exit Steam, restart Steam and launch game again.

Working now, thanks for the quick fix!

^^This

Only I couldnt launch game at all at first. Just sat there, no error msg etc.

Restarted Steam and it got to splash screen then mnc.exe stopped working

Intel Pentium D 2.8GHZ dual core
1 GB RAM
Radeon X550 Series (shared memory)
Total Graphics memory = 511mb
Dedicated memory = 256mb
Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit

I'm also getting this issue. Windows 7 x64, Core i7 920, GTX 260 Core 216, 6GB RAM, ASUS Xonar DX.

I've tried this, among other things. Nothing seems to help..I've also tried reverting sound/video driver versions, running with compatibility options, disabling AV software, disabling some unnecessary services (stuff for keyboard macros/LCD and such)..same thing, "mnc.exe has stopped working"

Someone on the Steam forums suggested running the EXE from the game directory as administrator, if restarting steam didn't seem to help.

Restarting Steam worked for me.

Doesn't help; none of the compatibility options do anything for me.

Goto steam library, right click the game, goto properties, choose verifiy cache and wait for it to redownload possible missing files, hope it worked, if not than I'm sry for wasting space

One of the first things I tried.
Nothing works.

***EDIT***
I found the issue for my specific crash on start. The game doesn't like it when you use a non-English system locale. After switching it over to English (US) the game launches fine. I started a new thread for this specific issue, as there seem to be various causes for these crashes.

Changing my language for non-unicode programs back to English from Japanese fixed the issue. Thanks for the fix, thrive.

Wouldnt mind trying this - anyone care to explain how?

THIS. EXPLAINS. EVERYTHING.
Due to me normaly running Japanese programs and the like, I normaly keep my Loca on JP mode, but I has getting to a point where MNC would take, I kid you not, 15 minutes to load PAST the splash screen, and then crash doing the animated loading screen...and for a moment I didn't know what to think about that. I'll switch loca's thought to run this game thought...but that now makes two games I gotta do that for ( SF4 another one ).

-Go to Start->Control Panel->Region and Language.
-Click the "Administrative" tab.
-Click "change system locale." The English system locales should work.

Appreciate it....although my system locale was already US (ENGLISH)...I guess the MNC.exe error has multiple causes...
