Crash on Launch

[cnr]

Hi all, game looks lovely, would enjoy trying it out. Have the demo. Double clicking the program only elicits an hourglass followed by nothing. Have tried running as admin, installing to default folder structure, applying the patch and making sure windows media is turned on. Nothing works. Thanks for the help!

What are your system specifications? Because, currently, the game's only for Microsoft Windows (XP, Vista, 7).

I have the full version on Desura and it works great for my Win 7 Home 64-bit system.

[cnr]

Ah yes, windows 7 64-bit.
specs, i7 920 nvidia gtx 285 and like 8 gigs ram. asus p6t deluxe v2 board.

Also ive been suspicious of desura but I have seen lots of interesting titles on it. It seems alot more invasive than steam. opinions?

[blackmoor]

Well, it sounds like you have the right system specs. I assume you have .NET Framework 4.0 installed? If so, I'm out of ideas. The developer is good about responding, so you'll probably have an official answer soon.

As to Desura, to me it feels like Steam-lite. I use both of them and don't have a problem with either.

Make sure you installed the demo using setup.exe, that will install the prerequisites (.NET and XNA).

Make sure you have Media Player enabled as a windows feature.

Run the game as admin if you have UAC enabled.

Ah yes, ok. I have a strong firewall and normally just block setups from outbound connections, never saw why they were needed. and the second time i installed I used the MSI and not the exe to install. installing from the exe seemed to allow for XNA installation which I didnt seem to have. Thanks for the help everyone!
