Help! Steam downloaded new version and now the game won't start. I tried rebooting computer, redownloading DoD and trying to launch game outside of steam. I get no error messages. Game always ran fine for me in the past on this machine. Thanks, Astrxs
Official word is that Steam has to have eaten something... delete local content from Steam, then delete the folder I said, try reinstalling again.
Okay, this is a tough one. Couple things we can try. 1: Put "-opengl" in the game's launch options and see if there's any difference. 2: If not, put "-debug-flag" and see if the console displays anything before it crashes. 3: Is it possible by any chance you're missing Microsoft Visual c++ redistributable?
Nope and nope. I shouldn't be missing the visual c++ redist.. And it doesn't even seem to be crashing, so much, as just not starting. When I click play on steam or when I click on the app in the steam apps folder, I just get the waiting circle for a few seconds and then nothing. As if the game isn't even past the starting blocks. Thanks for your continued help!
There's now a new beta here: http://community.gaslampgames.com/threads/dredmor-1-1-3-beta-feedback-thread.5193/ give it a try, in case it fixes the issue?
Whoo hooo! That at least got me to the config screen, the program started to launch and then crashed with a "cannot find skils/easytarget.png" error. But we got further than before. Any next steps?
Sorry I was paraphrasing the error message. It reads "file named skills/easy_target_inst32.png not found the game will probably crash". Then I click okay and it says "couldn't load PNG file skills/easy_target_inst32.png. The game will now crash." And then it does. I have Realm of the Diggle Gods and You have to name the expansion pack. No mods. Thanks
No, I mean delete /expansion3/ precisely because he doesn't have CotW. The beta adds the folder, and when the folder (even empty) exists, the game looks for its assets, so it was looking for expansion3 stuff when he doesn't have it.
Huzzah!!! That worked!!! Thanks so much for your help, I knew this one took awhile. Love the game and your awesome support!
