Game not starting Fatal ERROR

[bonym]

Hi All,

I am receiving the following error when trying to start the game:

---------------------------
Fatal Error (5.70.029.007, 24.01.12)
---------------------------
Unhandled exception in the Host Library (thread 6940).



Try restarting the application. If the problem persists, contact the product customer support.



Detailed error information:

Type: class RemoteControl::Transceiver::Exception

Location: __thiscall RemoteControl::Transceiver::Transceiver(class LUnicodeString,class LUnicodeString)

Line: 71

Message: Unable to create process c:\program files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\postal iii\acpc.exe (error code 5)



Called from:

__thiscall RemoteControl::Transceiver::Transceiver(class LUnicodeString,class LUnicodeString) (182)

class LPtrRef<class RemoteControl::Transceiver> __cdecl RemoteControl::Transceiver::CreatePrimaryTransceiverAndConnectToSecondary(class LUnicodeString,class LUnicodeString) (22)

void __thiscall Host::StartTransceiver(unsigned int) (544)
---------------------------
OK

I have added the entirety of my steamapps folder plus p3.exe to my exclusion list for my AV to no avail.

Has anyone had this issue?

FUCKIN' DRM !!!! 

Are you sure it's to do with the DRM, if so how?  Although I feel for those getting this issue I actually hope it is, gives us more ammo to fight to get it removed.

And to those getting the problem, please PM me and give me an honest answer about if your game was paid for from Steam or Wazaed. You'll not be banned if not, I just need to know 100% if this is an issue that affects the retail version.

Thanks!

Okay so Suicide has confirmed his game is genuine but he's trying to run his game on a MAC via cross over games... which makes sense that it might be DRM related and Crossover not supporting it well enough. bonym I'll need to know more about the set up you are running your game under.

Yes, you will be stoning me for this now but,
I downloaded the russian version before the Game was released world wide. (Test purposes lol and i hate to wait... yes, i bought the game afterwards.)
It was cracked but worked fine....
So does the steam version.

All good, when no demo is made available you can hardly blame someone for downloading it first and trying it out, especially with a game that got such a panning like Postal 3.

Postal III on Mac with Crossover Games!?
