Problem with Painkiller Demo

[AzzMan]

Hey whenever I try to start u the palace level in the Painkiller Demo, after the bar on the loading screen gets full it just sits there and doesn't continue to the actually game. Anyone else ever had this problem? Should I just uninstall it and install it again? The other 2 levels work fine btw.

Hmm. odd. I didnt have that problem, yeah I guess reinstall....
The only problem I had was getting knocked out of the world by a brick in the ruins.

I also didn't have this problem, but then again I didn't see any glitches in the game except for when I shot some enemies with the stakes they would fly up against walls when the shouldn't have, but that is a very minor flaw. I would definately reinstall because the game friggin' rocks.

If it just sits there, I suggest you be patient and wait some more. Then if you feel if something is really wrong, then reinstall.

What about your specs?

The palace level has some full-screen DX9 shaders, maybe you dont have DX9 installed.

Don't laugh... but I got this bug and do you know what my cure was? Clicking the mouse several times. Seriously. There's some sort of UI bug apparently, whereupon the loading menu freezes and develops a gigantic invisible start button... click around until you hit it.

I honestly thought it was some sort of freaky bug that only I got. Anyway, after letting it load click around the screen (even if you can't see the mouse) several times (slowly...), until you get some sign of activity. If that doesn't do it, try a reinstall/DX check.

There is a help section in the painkiller forum.
