Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Steaker (ribeye) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Unable to launch on Vista Initial Comment: I can't get the game to launch on my Vista desktop - tried windowed and full screeen, tried reboot. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Steaker (ribeye) Date: 2012-05-24 14:34 Message: After a few reboots last night, I managed to get the game to run once, and really enjoyed it for an hour. Frustratingly, I can't repeat the feat this evening, :-( ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Steaker (ribeye) Date: 2012-05-24 14:31 Message: I'm running v2.4, on 32-bit Vista I've tried running from the desktop shortcut many times, and the windowed and full screen menu links a few times I've also tried running from a DOS prompt What seems to happen, is that the game window locks up after initialising, and shows just a grey background. I find that I am unable to properly kill the remaining process using task manager, and that every subsequent time I try to run Free Orion, I get a little 64k processes which also refuse to be terminated (see attached task manager screenshot) I've attached the log files you requested, can't see anything obvious in them ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Geoff Topping (geoffthemedio) Date: 2012-05-23 11:26 Message: What version did you install? How are you trying to run it? Is there a freeorion.log or ogre.log in your C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\FreeOrion directory? If so, please attach them to a comment (zipped if too large). Running from a command line might also help, rather than using shortcuts, as it may leave a command prompt window open to show any output error messages that disappear when the game closes after failing to start. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=544942&aid=3528470&group_id=75752 |
