Title: Feral Heart will not open [FIXED!]
Post by: Togo-Tazzie on August 08, 2018, 11:10:26 pm

UPDATE: Thank you Moontwist! I finally managed to fix it over night using OpenGL. Thanks so much! <33

Alright, so. I just downloaded an ENB mod and was told it was compatible with the new update, so I downloaded it and what not. I went to open FH to check it out but it closes automatically, I don't even get to the screen about Kovu, It just closes. I deleted the ZIP file of the ENB and completely deleted the files from my Feral Heart but it still will not open! I know it may help but I don't want to uninstall Feral Heart, I have too many mods, emotes, packs, etc and It would take way too long to sort it all out with a backup(I know, I'm stubborn). Is there any other way to fix this?

Here are some photos

It starts up fine and all..

But then it gets to a black screen and closes.

Have you checked your particle folder and the My_Objects folder for copies of the same file? They are indicated by a _0 or _1 at the end.

I just checked but could not find any files with _0 or _1 in them.

• Try changing your rendering subsystem.
  
  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 are two ways you can change this setting.
  
  How to fix it!
  Either you start the game, go into the Options menu (can be accessed by pressing the Escape key on your computer), 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 Notepad.
  
  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

  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. You can also change your Rendering system by setting it to OpenGl instead of Direct3D9.
• Try running the game as an administrator.
• Make sure there's no security software blocking the game.
  
  Quote from:

  Open up your Control Panel, located in the Start menu. Depending on which Operating system you use and which layout, it might look differently. But Windows firewall should be in the category "security," or just find the text, "Windows firewall" or "Allow a program through windows firewall". This should take you to the correct place.
  
  Once there you'll get a new window with a list of programs. Try to locate FeralHeart.exe in there and add it to exceptions by marking the checkbox. If you can't find it, and the game to the list by yourself by pressing "add program."
• Flipping through tabs can sometimes cause the game to randomly crash or when you have too many programs open at the same time while running FeralHeart.
• You can also set your own preferences inside the options menu inside the game.
  Turn off water reflection, turn off name tags and set your view distance to 0.

Okay then.
It must have to do with the ENB mod, but I am not sure. Double check to see that you have all the ENB files uninstalled. There may be some file somewhere that is trying to send the ENB code through, but it doesn't see it. (If that makes sense lol) EDIT: In your main FH folder, do you still have the files enbseries.ini and enbseriee.ini?

I would try and run it with OpenGL, like Moontwist said.

It did not work, I was not given the option for OpenGL what so ever. I only get the Direct3D9.

Open your ogre.cfg file and edit the first line. Change it to OpenGL Rendering Subsystem .
