Tera won't start - you can do that

If Tera does not start anymore, the compatibility mode may help you. In this practical tip, we will tell you what you have to do for it and what solutions are still available so that the game starts properly again.

Tera won't start - so fix the problem

Often only a few steps are required to make the game work properly again:

• First check whether there is an update for the driver of your graphics card.
• To do this, open Windows Update and look for updates. Alternatively, you can also go to the manufacturer's website.
• If all drivers are up-to-date and Microsoft's DirectX is up to date, right-click on the Tera game file.
• Finally, select "Properties" from the context menu and check "Run as administrator".

Other solutions: Tera won't start

• It can also help if you tick the "Compatibility mode". It is best to select the option "Windows Vista (Service Pack 2)" and save with "OK".
• If you still can't start the game, you should try reinstalling it.
• After uninstalling, however, you will need to manually delete any remaining files and folders before you begin the reinstallation.
• In some cases, anti-virus programs or the firewall also block the game. Therefore, deactivate both services briefly.
