Feralheart.exe has stopped working! Please help!
« on: March 13, 2012, 04:08:19 pm »
Okay so I would show you what happens but I cannot get the screen shot. Anyways when I try to play the gave it will stay on a black screen for about a minute, and after that it says 'Feralheart.exe has stopped working' Then it will load and after that it will say 'A problem caused the program to stop, and crash unexpectedly' I don't know what to do. It does this ONLY on my computer no one else. I tried it on both my grandmothers CPU's and they work, but my laptop ALWAYS says this. Please help!

Try to uninstall feralheart and reinstall it or by following this:


The absolute First thing you want to try is to change the rendering mode for the game. There's different rendering modes you can pick from, usually OpenGL and Direct3D9. This decides which way your graphic card should process the game. This one is at standard set to OpenGL, so we'd want to set it to Direct3D9.

There's 2 ways you can change this setting.

How to fix it!
Either you start the game, go into the options menu, click the Video tab, and then change the rendering subsystem and restart the game.

Sometimes you aren't able to even enter the game, and all you can hear is the menu music, or it just crashes directly after launch. Those who experience this can enter the feralheart folder located in C:\FeralHeart at standard, find the file called "Ogre.cfg" and open it with wordpad.

This file works just as the ingame options menu, but instead of buttons and sliders, there's text.

What we're interested in is the top row


Set the top row text so it is just like in the picture with the text
Code: [Select]
Render System=Direct3D9 Rendering Subsystem
Save the file, and close it. Next time you run the game it should boot with the new settings you applied.

Even though this solves the graphical problems for most, there's still some unlucky ferals out there that the problems still remain for, but there's still 1 more thing you can try, and that is to update your graphic card drivers.

A computer is hardware, and with time it gets old just like any other thing in this world. If you had your computer for a while, and never updated the drivers, this might be the cause for FeralHeart not to work correctly. Installing Drivers for your computer is like installing any other program that it might need, though knowing how to do this might be tricky, so check the tutorial on how to Here!

If you already tried this and it's not working, chances are that your computer is getting old and can't handle the game. Installing drivers might help, but you're still running the same hardware. Try the game on another computer instead.

End~

Ignore this post.




Anyways, I don't think there is a way to fix this problem...

There is always a way to fix problems, my dear. Reinstalling should fix it. Give it a try. :3

If those don't work, go to your particle folder. Make sure the files there, are NOT in any other folders. This happened to me once where those files were moved, and it gave me the same exact problem.

With what rose said, particles can cause the game crash, more then likely duplicates of them.

Check your particles folder, and see if there are any doubles of particles, they will look like    Particle_0 or _1  etc. Usually _0 meaning its a duplicate and itll crash FH

I think here can help u Use the "unins000" in the FeralHeart folder and uninstall FH.
Then delete the entire folder.
Then download "Feral Heart Game Setup" (even if you already have it, get it again, and JUST that one)
Install that
See if it works.

(If you've made any maps or presets, save those before deleting FH.)

Hope this helps. ^^

Go into the options menu, video tab, then set the "Rendering subsystem" To the mode that is NOT set. Then restart the game and try to connect with that character.You should also try turning water reflections OFF, and then lower other in game settings. Also if the crashes happen to custom maps there could be quite a lot of things it could be.Do you know if it's all the maps or just one? Possible even just try using another character.
Note:As before, go into the options menu in the game, video tab, then set the rendering mode to the one that's NOT marked.

Then restart the game.
