I keep getting this message no matter what I do. I just recently wanted to play FH again - see what's new, catch up with people I haven't seen in a dog's age - and I find that I can't even get into the game. I have scoured the forums for an answer, and have tried all of the following:
- Reinstalled several times, making sure to delete the folder itself after each and every one so I was left with a fresh install.
- Checked for duplicate particles in every folder they could possibly be in [including sky].
- Ran as administrator from several different install locations [C, Documents, and Program Files altogether].
- Checked AGAIN for duplicate particles in each location.
- Switched my graphics driver back, forth, and sideways.
- Attempted to run both in windowed and fullscreen mode [<saw that worked for someone]
- Created a new character and attempted to play with HIM.
- Checked for any new content, mods, or presets [despite not having played the game in at least half a year].
- Updated all drivers pertaining to the system and game.
- Set all my settings on low.
Regardless of going through every single option, I am still getting the same issue - and it is an issue it seems a lot of people are getting - although mine isn't solved by the above methods. Any of them.
The game will appear fine. I can sign-in, fiddle with settings, make a character, select a character - all with no problems. I can cycle through characters even - with no problems. It is when I select the character I want to play, and hit Play - that the issue occurs. It will show one of the random loading screens, and the music for the area of the map starts up... However, shortly after that, the game becomes unresponsive, and there is a box that says:
"FeralHeart.exe has stopped working.
Please wait while Windows searches for a solution"
Upon which the program closes, I go into the folder, check for duplicate particles [there are none] - and begin this annoying cycle all over again.
Barring that none of you have a solution for me - is there a way to redownload FH+? I never seemed to have near as many issues with that program, as I do with the original game.
OF COURSE, I'm not expecting people to drop everything they're doing and aid me on this. I realize the game's original coder has gone by the wayside, and it can be exceedingly difficult to smoothly run a game that has not be UPDATED [restarted is different] in nigh-on three years.
Therefore, if someone has a solution I haven't tried - short of hacking into the system to figure out what's wrong myself [which I couldn't do anyway] - please do speak up.
I had heard around the forum that there was a issue going around like this that might be related to random account-bans? If this is what's happening to me, I see no reason for it, since I do not know how to hack, and I have been nothing but polite in-game for the times that I've played. However, if this is the case, I will drop the issue permanently, and those who have been offended by my presence shall hear no more of me.
I am more likely to think this previous "issue" was written to cause panic, rather than as a stated fact... but someone will correct me on that if I happen to be wrong about that particular point, I'm sure.
At any rate,
I hope you all have a wonderful evening, morning, or afternoon, and I will check back on this thread tomorrow after i have gotten some sleep.

Hmmm. Well try deleting FH and then download it again. If that doesn't work then try "torrent" instead. If that doesn't work then may I ask what version of windows you have? What computer?
-
Well it may be an account issue too. Do you have any other account? If so, try to log in. If you don't have any, you should wait for registration to open.
-
I have Windows 7.
And I looked back on my posts. The last time it did this, I DID have to make a new account - but I had that one deleted ages ago for security reasons, so I neither remember the username or password.
-
Try checking around your terrains folder to see if you have the default maps still in there. It sounds to me that you can't load into the map at all.
Also, have you downloaded anything for the game or made anything, even messed around with the files a bit that could be causing this issue?
-
I haff two suggestions.
First, go to your FH folder and open ogre.cfg with Notepad.
In here, replace the very first line of text (just that line) with Render System=Direct3D9 Rendering Subsystem
Hit save. See if the game works then.
And if not, then try deleting the config.good file from your FH folder. This worked for me a while back. Try these, though, and let us know what happens. c:
-
Well, it's definitely not the rendering system.
I tried that, and I also went and erased my custom map I had made. All of it. Still doesn't work.
I'm running out of ideas here other than to sign up for ANOTHER account. I.E. wait until they're open again.

Are there any uptadates for your computer? Maybe Java uptadates?
-
[Just checking to see if I can actually post anything]
No, I ran every check in the book, and nothing needs to be updated.
As of this post, I've re installed it AGAIN [after completely removing it] - and it's still not working.
-
Do you have the latest version of Direct X?
-
Yes. Everything is up to date.
-
Sort of a last resort... Maybe try returning your computer to factory settings?
-
Alright, well how about your firewall settings? Do you have it set to allow connections?
-
Quai, I'm an artist. To do that would be devastating. I would lose everything. It's not an option.
I do - I figured it wouldn't log me on at all if that were the case, so I already turned them off.
I hear the music before it crashes anyway... that wouldn't happen if I wasn't reaching the server, right?
-
Tried doing a character reset from the website?
-
I don't even know what that does... I mean, I'm not specially attached to any of them except Arri, and I can always remake him...
-
No no, when you log onto the website here, there is an option at the top to reset your character. Basically it resets the home position. Not sure if that will help still, but worth a shot.
-
I thought for a while that it was because I might have logged off on a map that no longer exists... maybe... I dunno. I'll try again.
Edit: Nope. I reset them all, and it's STILL doing it.
-
I DO NOT mean to double-post, but it WILL NOT let me edit my last post.
I'm trying to hit Modify, and it's giving me error messages.
I have the contents of the FH logfile, and they're rather puzzling and revealing all at once. If anyone knows what to do with this, let me know.

Can I bump this? Is that allowed? I really would like help.
