Sorry to flood the forums with this, but I don't know what else to do. I downloaded the game, got it to work fine, it launched, but I hadn't installed the English patch yet, so I closed the game and Installed the english patch, and next time I try loading it just continually says "Failed to initialize." I tried running as admin, deleting game guard, adjusting the resolution, downloading the file people suggest to try downloading... I don't know what to do. I'm re-installing the game, going to see if it works without the patch, if it does I'm going to try installing a less recent english patch. I'll update if everything goes well.

Re-installed the game, didn't install the english patch, and i'm still getting the problem. I don't know what could have happened since it worked the first time i tried playing before all of this happened. It's late now, I'm going to try more things tomorrow and i'll continue updating.

when you reinstalled, did you delete the DBO folder completely after uninstalling it? it does leave behind some data. try doing that first if you want to do a full clean install. I think you get this error as well if the servers are down, i could be wrong but im pretty sure it does pop up when they are down. try opening up the game before doing another reinstall when you wake up and see what happens.

sorry for the double post, just wanted to bump to give a possible solution. I had this same issue just now lol. try running the game as administrator. that fixed it for me
