Any idea please ? :/

Okay use this as command line "-mod=public". Without Quotes.

[Knoxville8596]

Where ?

[Stan`]

What OS are you on ?

[Knoxville8596]

Windows 7 !

[Stan`]

Like this

[Knoxville8596]

It doesn't work !

[Stan`]

Sorry haven't checked. What version are you on ? A16 ? The download is known to corrupt. Redownload it. (I'm sorry for that)

[Knoxville8596]

Yes, A16 ! I'll redownload it so

[feneur]

In the file path above, is "Momo" spelled like that or using something like ö/ô/õ etc? In other words, is the path exactly as: "D:\Users\Momo\AppData\Local\0 A.D. alpha\binaries\system\pyrogenesis.exe"? I'm not a programmer so I'm not 100% sure, but the error message says there's something it doesn't understand about the file path, and special characters can have problems like that. Another thing to be aware of is that while installing the game on another drive than C:\ should work fine the installer needs a certain amount of free space on the C:\ drive during the installation, so it might be worth checking that if you do a reinstallation.

I'm not a programmer so I'm not 100% sure, but the error message says there's something it doesn't understand about the file path, and special characters can have problems like that

In that case, it's a (fairly serious) bug in the engine and nothing inherently wrong with the path. But considering our default installer path hasn't changed in years and it works for many users, it's strange to suddenly have so many reports of this crash. I think it's something far more subtle. We need to add some debugging output in the engine for this case.

Agreed. I'm just throwing out possible things to try as I don't have any better advice to offer.

Usually a first initiative against special char problems is surrounding it with double quotes ("), it's required if paths contain spaces for example.

The problem here is what I also encountered when starting the SVN version. Are you using PPA of 0AD ? Then it may be essentially a recent 0AD build and not the Alpha16 version. For A16 I agree to what historic said, it can't appear that suddenly. It's surely that missing -mod=public as our engine might not expect mods to contain zero simulation files, i.e. there might be checks missing if engine-required filepaths exist and aren't empty.

Nevertheless opening a terminal and entering:

0ad -mod=public

or

"/path/to/pyrogenesis.exe" -mod=public

should fix it if it turns out you use a recent 0AD build.

"D:\Users\Momo\AppData\Local\0 A.D. alpha\binaries\system\pyrogenesis.exe" - unles he's installed SVN over an existing Alpha installation then it surely is an Alpha installation. And it's certainly not a PPA version on Windows 7. Also, itms mentioned in IRC that the cases he had encountered of this bug was caused by a bad install rather than issues with the engine/game. So that's definitely worth looking into before doing anything else

Would still be worth looking into as the installer hopefully should be able to tell that something went wrong and give an error already at that stage instead of this late in the process

[Radagast.]

You are right.

Can't someone of our devs log onto the system using Team viewer to quickly reproduce the issue. Installing into a different folder and such.

Because the "Directory not found" sounds suspicious, it would be nice to investigate the file structure the installer has created (if such an installer was used).
