zenryl -> Can't launch te game (3/25/2010 8:51:06 PM)

Hi,

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

zenryl -> RE: Can't launch te game (3/25/2010 8:52:48 PM)

I forgot version 1.0.1



EagleMountainDK -> RE: Can't launch te game (3/25/2010 8:54:16 PM)

Not going to be of any help for you sorry, but just letting people know that I run it in Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate without any problems (besides not knowing what I'm doing [:'(])



Erik Rutins -> RE: Can't launch te game (3/25/2010 8:54:57 PM)

Very important question - did you let the .NET and DirectX component installers run during the installation of the main game?



Sarissofoi -> RE: Can't launch te game (3/25/2010 9:07:37 PM)

Uinstall. Install DX and FN again before game. Install game.



nicodede62 -> RE: Can't launch te game (3/25/2010 9:09:30 PM)

Same error with windows Xp, I'll try a new installation to see [:@].



Erik Rutins -> RE: Can't launch te game (3/25/2010 9:11:54 PM)

Hm.

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?



Gargantou -> RE: Can't launch te game (3/25/2010 9:23:28 PM)

I get the same problem, here's my DXDIAG.




nicodede62 -> RE: Can't launch te game (3/25/2010 9:26:52 PM)

My Dxdiag



drillerman -> RE: Can't launch te game (3/25/2010 9:27:57 PM)

Running win7 64bit 4gig ram nvidia9500m 512mg .   Just to say I don't find the zooming with the mouse wheel very smooth. 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.



Erik Rutins -> RE: Can't launch te game (3/25/2010 9:28:35 PM)

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.



zenryl -> RE: Can't launch te game (3/25/2010 9:31:47 PM)

Here the files

Put default language to english but no change.



Sarissofoi -> RE: Can't launch te game (3/25/2010 9:32:10 PM)

Yeah I already change and it works.

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>



zenryl -> RE: Can't launch te game (3/25/2010 9:37:02 PM)

Do you reboot after changing your default language

qwerty keyboard suck... i can't even write....



Erik Rutins -> RE: Can't launch te game (3/25/2010 9:37:03 PM)

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:

zenryl -> RE: Can't launch te game (3/25/2010 9:41:16 PM)

Ok works fine. Thank you



Gargantou -> RE: Can't launch te game (3/25/2010 9:48:16 PM)

Thanks for the fix, I hope though that the patch will make it so I don't have to have an English (United States) regional setting.



Erik Rutins -> RE: Can't launch te game (3/25/2010 9:52:44 PM)

That's the plan, yes. We obviously don't want anyone to have to change their language settings to be able to play the game, but the fix is still being investigated.



jackhammer -> RE: Can't launch te game (3/25/2010 10:59:56 PM)

Got same problem. Thanks for fast workaround. Game works fine on English settings now. win 7 x64 no reboot  required.



Volcano -> RE: Can't launch te game (3/25/2010 11:24:51 PM)

I have got the same problem too, on french version of Vista familial edition. The game also works by changing the display language format. I hope you will quickly succeed to fix this bug[;)]



drillerman -> RE: Can't launch te game (3/25/2010 11:33:16 PM)

Got this message up twice so far when first starting the games. 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"



atlana -> RE: Can't launch te game (3/30/2010 4:04:01 PM)

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.



Erik Rutins -> RE: Can't launch te game (3/30/2010 6:43:36 PM)

Atlana,

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,

- Erik
