Title: Something Terrible...
Post by: Kerriki on May 06, 2013, 12:13:22 am
Ok so I went to Cape, and suddenly my FH crashed. But now (this has happened every time since), two seconds after I click on the FH icon, it crashes. Every time. I dunno what it is, and all the other "FH Crashes" threads are about crashing in-game. I'm not even at the loading screens when it crashes. Any advice?

Do you notice any specific error messages when it crashes? If you've been installing any mods or messing around with files it's possible you messed up your game's files a bit. Have you considered uninstalling your game then deleting the Feral Heart folder and then reinstalling? I suggest doing that since it's usually the magic fix for situations like this. Make sure you back up all your important files like presets, maps, and screenshots though before you do so.

Nope, the only thing is says is "FeralHeart.exe has stopped working." And the only thing I have done today was export my map...

It is probably a Ogre error. What you need to do is put your OpenGL Rendering System to Direct3D9 Rendering system

If your Feral Heart is looking something like this then here's what to do.
Go into your Feral Heart folder and open up your Ogre. in notepad. Then this is what you would see when you open it. Change the top one with the Direct3D9 Rendering System.

Make sure you change the top one and if your anti allaying says something else, change it to "no

 Perhaps it's not the game that is the problem, maybe it's your video rendering card that is in your computer to process games.

All computers has some sort of video rendering card, some are just meant for document work, while more advance video rendering cards are able to play games and some flash videos. Try and see if your video card is up to date

It may be duplicate files messing up the game.
Look in the Feral Heart>Media folders and then look in Particles and Objects folder for any files with _0 or _1 at the end of them.

 Try looking at this, It may have some options for ya on what the possible problem is:

Failed to connect to front server  is another funky message you might get. Most of the time you get this either when your internet is down or the server is down completely. It can also be that your firewall or any other security software is preventing FeralHeart from accessing the internet. If it's the server and not your internet it should be sorted shortly and be back up and running, if it will be down for longer times the staff will let you know.

If the server is up though for a longer time, and you're still having issues to connect, you should follow the tips mentioned in the post "Unable to log on/go online" (posted below) and if that fails to work. Contact those responsible for your internet or maybe someone that knows more and are able to help you.

Is the computer allowing FeralHeart to connect to the internet?
Games like these needs to be able to connect to the internet, but sometimes windows doesn't know if the game/application can be trusted or it just skips adding the game to exceptions. If you aren't able to log on the game, this might be your issue.

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.

If you don't understand how to do this still, ask someone else to do this for you.

Sometimes there might be something else blocking the program from accessing the internet. A good example of these are some Antivirus programs. This can vary a lot as well. But check up if by any chance your virus program might be blocking feralheart. And just not only by clicking the icon in the corner sayings "Nope!". Look in the advanced menus and preferences first. Only you can check this.

How's your internet connection?
Sometimes the internet connection of the users trying to play the game might be weak. This can cause you to not being able to connect or staying online for a longer time, many people might start blaming the game or server for this when it in fact might be themselves.

Here's a few things you can check:
1. Are you even connected to the internet right now?
2. Are you running any downloading/streaming programs?
3. Are there any other computers/devices using the same internet?
4. Are you currently using a wireless connection, if so, are you getting good signal?

Sometimes the internet connection can time out for various reasons and then jump back on again, so be sure to try a few times first.

Programs in the background
Downloading things or running streaming programs eats your bandwidth, and this bandwidth is needed in order to play the game, especially if you're using slower speeds. You can start by shutting off things like downloading programs and internet browsers. Maybe even IM programs such as MSN and AIM and try to play again.

Turn off extra devices
If you got more than 1 computer or other devices also using the internet, try turning them off if they're not in use. This will give you more bandwidth to spare.

On a wireless connection?
If you're using a laptop you might be using a wireless internet connection. These can sometimes loose their signal to the internet source. So try placing yourself closer to your modem, this might give you a stronger signal.

These things should solve the most connection problems!

Nope, none of these are working. I can't even get to the title screen without it crashing... now it crashes right when I click on the FH icon on the desktop. The program doesn't even open when I see the "FeralHeart.exe has stopped working" thing. :/

 Then it isn't a problem with the game, it's a personal computer problem you are having. Like I have said before, your video rendering card is probably not working and or your firewall is blocking your connection. Here's a yahoo answer I found that helps ya figure out how to find out what video card you have without opening up your desktop.

How do I check what kind of video card I have without opening my computer? (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080218122246AAxMf4V)
