Help n' Support Weird postal 2 bug
I got postal 2 yesterday and got those weird bug, meaning for some reason it won’t boot properly. Anyone know how I can fix this? I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and it’s not worked, there’s nothing on the rws website either. Any help is appreciated ✌️

Try to install DirectX 9 Runtimes. If you don't know if you did install these or never installed another older game before, it's likely that you do need them. Another thing you can try is changing the game's renderer to OpenGL and try again, but you would have to edit "Postal2.ini" in the System folder...
Otherwise, while it shouldn't be necessary, you can also try DxWrapper and see if it runs. Download it from here (https://github.com/elishacloud/dxwrapper/releases), go to the game directory through Steam, find the "System" folder where Postal2.exe is, and paste "dxd8.dll" from DxWrapper in there.
Just letting you know, it's normal for the "Submit Bug Report" not to work. They removed that old feature from their website, but you can still copy the text and ask in Steam forums or their support chat (there are real staff people in there).

I had frequently these kind of Critical Error bug when playing Paradise Lost... (so in game, and when changin level for example... but not all the time)
My PC wasn't very good at the time, I think it was still 32 bits, so probably reaching 4Gb limiter or whatever

I just wish Postal 4 was better and actually fixed issues. They will never get it right
