    Hello Space Pilots,

    For those of you using AMD GPU's, and unable to load the game client on your current graphics driver, there is a potential solution for you to try and use to be able to play again by using a parameter flag in the game's shortcut.

    Note: This flag will disable the 3d mode for the client, and force it to run in 2d mode.

    Right click the game shortcut, then click "Properties"
    Look for the "Destination" or "Target" fields. It will have an entry similar to "C:\Users\<user>\Dark Orbit\DarkOrbit.exe".

    Add the following to the end of this text field: "--disable-gpu". It should now look like "C:\Users\<user>\Dark Orbit\DarkOrbit.exe" "--disable-gpu"

    Click "Ok" at the bottom to save.

    Try and open the game client now, if the flag was set correctly, the client should open without crashing.
