Title: Problem *Grump*

Feral Heart keeps crashing on me, and it doesn't lag, causing it to do so. It says something is wrong with the wine program or something. I've re-dowloaded Feral Heart twice to see if that helps, but it doesn't. *Grump*
Here's what I get with Error Details

Wine program?
What kind of PC do you have, I'm not familiar with the problem.

Maybe something here will help you. Wine is what allows you to run FH on a Mac, because FH was originally only truly made for PCs, I believe. I do not know much about Macs, but this may help you anyways. Note that this tutorial was made for Windows, so where it says "C:," just go to where the FH folder is.

Changing the game's rendering system from outside the actual game is quite simple.
First, go into C: > Feralheart. If you look at the FH main folder, you will see a file called:
"orge.cfg"
Click it, and open it with "notepad" or any other program that you can edit text files with. Doesn't ask to change it? Right click the file (make sure you're not clicking the Feralheart folder itself) go to properties > " change..." and search for notepad on your computer,

Look at the first two lines in the orge.cfg file. That is where you change the game's rendering system to either OpenGL or DirectX

If you followed everything that was typed and the instructions in the pictures, you should have successfully switched your rendering system.

The next (hopefully) solution is also simple. Simply search for FearlHeart's folder in your computer and open it. You'll see a bunch of folders and some files. Look for the folder named "media" an then click it. Once you see all of those new folders, click the "particles" folder. (Simpfied: C:/Feralheart/media/particles) You'll see some random files in there with exotic names such as star aura, etc. Those particles are those moving animations in game, like the smoke in Sky's Rim. Sometimes when the game crashes or you accidently install a map incorrectly, those particle files duplicate, and you do not want that to happen. If you see any particle files that end with a _0, _1, and so on, delete them. That's a possible reason why Feralheart crashes once it turns on. Computers aren't very good at distinguishing differences in files with the same names, unless they are different file extentions. Sometimes particles can also find their way into the my_objects folder which is in C:/Feralheart/media/objects/my_objects. If you still don't see any, you can also search in computer "particle."

-Solution 3-
Just as particle files can duplicate, so can those pesky mesh files in the my_objects in C:/Feralheart/media/objects/my_objects. If you see any files in there (if you have any in there) that end in _0, _1, and so on, delete them.

Didn't work? Keep reading.

-Solution 4-
Next, your best option would be to reinstall Feralheart via a new installer. What I mean by that is when you downloaded FH off the site, you didn't automatically get FH onto your computer; you go an installer. Go to here (http://www.feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=23&Itemid=40) and download the setup ONLY. Do not download the patch or the torrent. Wait until that setup has been downloaded from the internet, and then run it. Install Feralheart, and see if it works!

So we've decided it isn't the server's problem, just my computer's?

Well the server is working fine for most- it's most likely a little bug with your game. Have you tried what was posted above?

Right, will do. Any possible way that the recent download of mass markings might be an issue? Because right after I did, these problems started.
