When I run WL, I get a quick flash of a rectangular box, then it ends.

The stdout.txt includes:

There's no configuration file, using default values.

Widelands executable directory: C:\Games\Widelands

Adding directory: C:\Games\Widelands\data

selected language: (system language)

Could not read locale fontset for: ga

I do not know why it is looking for ga (Galacia?); I am in the uK and all is English (UK).

Opengl is at 4.3

Any ideas?

TIA, Peter

That output looks really bad face-crying.png

Can you provide some information of the used graphics card? There are some issues with Intel related graphicscards.

You can try download the latest development build from Tinos site widelands.8-schuss.de. If i remember right he uses a different OpenGL code. But no music face-sad.png

Don't be angry about the development build. It is quite stable and you get profit from new functions (if this version is running for you).

Am not angry! Widelands seems wonderful. Ausgezeichnet!

Graphics card is nothing special. I had the computer made 8 years ago for general purposes (not a gaming machine).

I will try Tinos version, thank you!

Peter

Sadly, same result from Tinos version. Will try on another computer. Many thanks, Peter

Which SDL Version do you have? Test another SDL Version it seems to be the sound Bug from SDL.

wow 7 posts in a row. face-wink.png

However Modellbahner might be right with the bug. By luck I just spotted there was a workaround just merged into branch. You can grab the resulting build from https://ci.appveyor.com/project/widelands-dev/widelands/build/master-3210.
Just choose the x64 Release or development build. In the tab artifacts there is the installer exe. If this works and you don't get sound you'll know it is the soundbug of SDL 2.0.6.

Depending on the output:

Graphics: OpenGL: Version "(null)"
Graphics: SDL_GL_RED_SIZE is 0
...
Graphics: OpenGL: Double buffering disabled
Graphics: OpenGL: Max texture size: 0
Graphics: OpenGL: ShadingLanguage: "(null)"

it is indicated that at least the OpenGL version is not populated correctly by the graphics driver or the graphics driver isn't capable for OpenGL at all. So unlikely that this is the Sound bug. But i am not really familiar with the OpenGL stuff.

It would be interesting which graphics card (vendor) is used.
