I can't launch the game on windows 7 64 bits. I tried under administrator and vista compatibility.

Can each of you post a DxDiag please?

Also, just on a hunch, can you try switching your language to US English on the off-chance that makes a difference? What language setting is each of you running on your system?

Seem a bit choppy.  Tried various settings for graphic detail and zoom speed but always seems the same.   Also, when you turn the music down before you start a game it goes loud again for a second before returning to the level you set in the options menu just as your new game starts.   Nothing major, but I thought you might like to know.

Status: offline 		Thanks guys, as a test please try changing your Regional/Language setting to US English and re-launch the game. See if that helps at all. We believe this is some kind of language setting issue that we did not find and is effectively Windows and the game having a fight over language.

The game and installer have been tested with Windows 7 64 bit, so we know it works with that platform.

But man that sucks. Think about people who dont use forums. That is the reason why you always need some outsiders in betatest. Even if they bitching - you always can keep them in dungoon.

Man I have bad feelings about it.

ATTENTION. REBOOT IS MUST BE>

Status: offline 		Ok, confirmed the issue and we are working on a fix.

I changed my own settings here to Polish and got the same crash. Changed them back to US English and no crash. I'm surprised we didn't catch this before release, we'll add a formal "region/language testing step" to our procedures for each release from now on.

Here's where you change it:

Control Panel Regional and Language Options Formats Tab for Windows Vista/7 (Regional Options Tab for XP) Set it to English (United States) until the fix is available

You may need to reboot after making this change.

Here's a screenshot:

However, the game still loads up and plays ok AFAIK.   "Could not load required sound: D:\Matrix Games\Distant Worlds\sounds\effects\ambient1_voice3.wav You may need to reinstall Distant Worlds to resolve the problem"

Status: offline 		same problem here with the "unexpected error" it looks to me that the coders were using non-unicode settings for their keyboard language input. I use as default "U.S. english - international" which allows me to use non-american based special characters like ß/ö/ü/ç since i deal with a lot of non-U.S. based correspondents.

This is the FIRST program/game that has issues with that, since the 6 years I'm using the "U.S. - international" keyboard settings - sounds to me the program makers screwed up.

This issue was resolved with the v1.0.2 update, please use the "Check for Updates" on your game menu to install that and everything should be fine.

Regards,
