I am running a 64bit version of windows 7 on a laptop. I downloaded both EC1 and EC2, unzipped the files, and tried playing. After double clicking on the Application file to start the game, I get a window where I can shoose my resolution and graphics level. After selecti f those and clicking OK, the window goes away and the game icon appears down in the low bar, but nothing happens. If I click on the icon in the low bar a black screen will appear and my cursor turns into the blue loading circle. I can wait as long as I want but it never loads. There is no sound either. If I click the mouse the black screen turns white, and I get an error message saying that the program is not responding and I can force close or wait for the program to respond. I have tried launching both games on dozens of different combinations of graphics levels and screen resolutions. I have tried deleting and re downloading the games. I have tried unzipping them with different types of zip extractors. No matter what I do I get the same result. And the wierdest thing is I have dowoaded other games that use the unity engine and they launch and play just fine. Please help!! I'm not super tech savvy but I really want to play these games. Thanks!
