So basicly recently i reinstalled my pc. So i decided, i want to play dirt 3 again, because i play on this (same pc) without any problems. So i downloaded it, instalation went smooth. So first time when i wanned to launch the game, i got this xlive.dll error, which i fixed. After that, Dirt 3 didn't launched. I opened my task meneger and saw that dirt3.exe appears and disappears after couple seconds. I tried to install updates. It had the same problem. I have installed Directx 9 and 11. Also I can play League of Legends without any problems. All my drivers are up to date. Thanks for your help.
 
Did you recently add a second monitor? I had a similar issue with a bunch of games after I did and found that I had to right click on the game .exe go to compatibility and check disable desktop composition. If it is a Steam game and you could try to vertify integrity of cache. Right click on game in library>local content>verify integrity of cache.
 
So I tried your advice. Now when i try to run dirt 3, it changes my color theme to basic and my monitor blinks black for split second. Also in task meneger, process shows and then turns off. And everything on my color theme turns back normal.

This Dirt 3 version isnt legal, its SKIDROW version. Also i have problem with intel media acceleration driver, i cant install it, does this effect?
 


Everyone knows this is not true....
Buy it and you will still have a buggy product but you'll have been robbed also....
