Encountering problem on ALL of my Windows boxes. Do not have any Linux boxes handy to try. Neither 32bit nor 64bit development builds will get me to the playing board. Error occurs when "New Game" is selected under Single Player. I can get as far as "Begin Network Game" under multiplayer, but encounter error message when clicking on start a new game. No *err.txt files generated. I've renamed my original .widelands folder, but problem persists. BelArc Advisor reports Visual C++ 2010 x86 Redistributable 10.0.40219 What should I do? I see little people. Top Quote

You can get output files when starting Widelands in the command line, using `widelands.exe 1>stdout.txt 2>stderr.txt`.

I'm sure that mine is an isolated case that likely has to do with something other than WL. I see little people. Top Quote

Posted at: 2015-01-20, 15:45 Both the 32- and 64-bit version on my page are compiled with MinGW, so there should be no dependency to a (specific version of) VC Redistributable. If you have renamed your folder <Userhome>/.widelands there should be no side effects with old config, because widelands generates a new one. Not sure what is happening here. The soundhandler messages are ok, because my packages don't contain the music... Top Quote

I renamed that config file and ran rev7360 32bit. Same error encountered. stderr.txt is empty. stdout.txt: `Set home directory: C:\Users\chuck\.widelands` `There's no configuration file, using default values.` `Widelands executable directory: M:\Program Files\Widelands-bzr7360-32` `Adding directory: M:\Program Files\Widelands-bzr7360-32.` `selected language: (system language)` `Graphics: Try to set Videomode 800x600` `Graphics: OpenGL: Version "4.4.13084 Compatibility Profile Context 14.301.1001.0"` `Graphics: OpenGL: Double buffering enabled` `Graphics: OpenGL: Max texture size: 16384` `** GRAPHICS REPORT ` `VIDEO DRIVER windows` `pixel fmt 370546692` `size 800 600` ` END GRAPHICS REPORT ` `SoundHandler: songset "intro" does not exist!` `SoundHandler: songset "menu" does not exist!` I now have no clue. Suggestions?** Edited: 2015-01-20, 16:12 I see little people. Top Quote

Are you running any security software which may be inspecting/mangling the process? Do you have any Windows Updates (incl. "Optional" Updates) waiting to be installed? Are there any other instances of programs crashing if you press Win key, type "problem reports", and click "View all problem reports"? Have you had any other unusual behaviour or crashes with other software? WARNING: New-style view packet not found. There may be strange effects regarding unseen areas. _aD on IRC Top Quote

Make sure that, rather than just renaming your Widelands config file, you rename the whole directory. It's possible that a corrupted save/reply/map could be causing a problem.

M: is a physical HD in the same case. (My OS is on an SSD.) Are you running any security software which may be inspecting/mangling the process? Possibly, though I've had no problems with it in the past. Do you have any Windows Updates (incl. "Optional" Updates) waiting to be installed? All are up to date. Are there any other instances of programs crashing if you press Win key, type "problem reports", and click "View all problem reports"? No other programs are demonstrating problems. There is a Problem Report for Widelands from today with a Status of "Not reported" Have you had any other unusual behaviour or crashes with other software? No. Thanks for your attention to this.

I've done that, but will try again and report back. I see little people. Top Quote
