Games not opening up? Try this easy way! Windows 7-8/Vista/XP

Try this for both FeralHeart and your other
games that will not open, or simply crash at the start:



Right click the game icon on your desktop and select "Properties"
then click on "Compatibility and follow the instructions in the image above.
When you reach the dropdown box, select the format you are using~
Finally, click "Apply" then "OK".

Also, For FeralHeart (If the game won't open) open up your main FeralHeart Folder
and open up a config file named "ogre" in notepad (or any other word document) and replace it with this:

Render System=Direct3D9 Rendering Subsystem
[Direct3D9 Rendering Subsystem]
Allow NVPerfHUD=No
FSAA=0
Floating-point mode=Fastest
Full Screen=No
Rendering Device=Monitor-1-AMD Radeon HD 7700 Series
Resource Creation Policy=Create on all devices
VSync=No
VSync Interval=1
Video Mode=1280 x 800 @ 32-bit colour
sRGB Gamma Conversion=No
[OpenGL Rendering Subsystem]
Colour Depth=32
Display Frequency=N/A
FSAA=0
Full Screen=No
RTT Preferred Mode=FBO
VSync=No
VSync Interval=1
Video Mode=800 x 600
sRGB Gamma Conversion=No

Then save and relaunch the game! (If nothing takes affect, try restarting
your computer too.)
However, if FeralHeart DOES open and it leads onto the title screen
then go to Options\Video\Rendering Subsystem\Direct3D9 then relaunch the game~

Nice little tutorial you have there, Buffy. I'm sure this will help a lot of users with their ''FeralHeart.exe has stopped working'' or whatever the problem may be. Very helpful and detailed. +floof

An impressive tutorial you've created here Ms. Buffy. Undoubtedly it'll prove useless to many floofs to come.

I'm not sure if this would work for it due to the fact Ubuntu is another OS, but you could try.
