MyCooky Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 After the install (of the new alpha 16) everything worked perfectly, but when I closed the game and restarted it,the games crashes (I don't even get to the main menu).I'm on windows 7 64 bit.Any ideas what might cause this?crashlog.txt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanderd17 Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 Are you using an RTL language (arabic, hebrew, ...) or did you change something to the game (downloaded extra languages maybe)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyCooky Posted May 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 (edited) I played it on german, but even with english (I can open the game only after reinstalling) this still happens.I tried unchecking everything in the options, but didn't seem to change much....But installing it to a new folder helped (dumb me), even with all the old settings .What do you think could have been the problem?

sanderd17 Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 What directory did you try first? And what worked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyCooky Posted May 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 I think just the first one that was the default in the installer, don't know exactly what it was.After changing directory everything works... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanderd17 Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 It could be related to some special German characters in the directory. So it would be nice to know how those directories are called in German. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyCooky Posted May 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 Sorry I was wrong; I installed it in a folder named 0_AD (C:\games\0_AD), so the '_' could have caused the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanderd17 Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 The _ is quite common. And so is the 0. So I see absolutely no reason at all.As it's fixed now, I don't think there's anything we can do about it. And lets hope you're the only one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyCooky Posted May 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 Yeah, still thank you for your commitment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyCooky Posted May 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Just to add some information to this,I encountered the problem again today, but this time I noticed that there was another *pyrogenesis.exe* running in the background (without actually doing anything).Also the \Appdata\Local\0ad folder was being used (by the pyrogenesis.exe).So I think that's what caused the problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
historic_bruno Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Hmm, sounds like it might have crashed in the background or have been slow to close. It can continue running if it's in a debug loop or if it's waiting for a background thread to finish. Maybe we need to check if an instance of pyrogenesis.exe is already running and warn the user before continuing the game startup (at least on Windows where this is most problematic) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
