Hi,
Got myself Pro Evo 5 and it worked fine yesterday and this morning. Went to start it again but it kept saying there was an error. Uninstalled, reinstalled but no better.
I tried the Demo and that has the same problem.
I cant find any patches or fixes but maybe people here would be kind enough to tell me a fix if they know of one and maybe do a search ;)

Thanks, I like this game and its really annoying me it wont work lol.

Regards

Yeah but it worked fine before.
So I dont think that would be the problem.

I read some peoples wont work on their computers but when they try it on another it works fine :confused:

Ill try GFX drivers but I dont think it is them. Other games work fine,

All the Pro Evo games have crashed on start-up on my PC (Various PC's over the years) if I had a Joystick or my Nostromo SpeedPad plugged in. As soon as I unplugged the offending device, it loaded up fine.
Do you have such a device installed ?

I had this problem and it annoyed the hell out of me...

For me I have to press escape repeatedly on start up after the adidas sign...

Dont ask me why but this is the only way ive ever been able to play PRo Ev games.

And before anyone suggests it is an original version.

Try that

All control settings are keep and can keep controller plugged in

Ok yeah that seems to have fixed it, Is there anyway I can use my controller ? :(

Thanks a lot mate,

Sorry, I haven't tried the X-Box Converter on my PC.
My USB PS2 Controller converter works OK, although the default control layout is always wrong (Even though its based on the PS2 controller) and I have to re-assign the keys.

What annoys me about this problem is that Konami have been aware of the issue since Pro Evo 3, yet have done nothing about it.
It does point towards the fact that each version is just a bit of a tweak, rather than a real evolution.

Maybe in Pro Evo 6, they will fix it and maybe even add proper internet play on the PC version, or Maybe they won't.
