Title: FH is crashing
Post by: Nextum on March 21, 2016, 10:23:47 pm
Every time I load up my character, it just crashes, and I've reinstalled it several times, and I'm getting tired of having to redrag everything into the folder...

When you say 'crash' does it only happen whenever you load onto a specific character or something else...?
Is your internet strong? A slow internet can make the game crash sometimes.
Changed you rendering system? Changing the rendering system in the game's options can help.
Are you keeping the login tab opened. Don't minimize it or tab out for that could log you out the game as well.
Another thing you can look into, is seeing if you downloaded anything recently. Sometimes that could make the game crash too.
These are all the ideas that I got or from what I have read and or experienced before. Hopefully the issue gets resolved soon ~!

Have you visited any shady or untrustworthy websites lately? As Hakumi mentioned, downloading certain things can affect your computer; and if you did not download anything, misclicking an ad may have put something on your computer. If all of this is a "no," perhaps try refreshing your PC (assuming you are on Windows).

Throwing another thing out there, if you have downloaded anything like Mass Markings or Items, make sure you have them in the correct folder. Sometimes a misplaced file can cause you to crash at character select.

Try this out:

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's 2 ways you can change this setting.

How to fix it!
Either you start the game, go into the options menu, 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 wordpad.

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
Code: [Select]
Render System=Direct3D9 Rendering SubsystemSave the file, and close it. Next time you run the game it should boot with the new settings you applied.

Even though this solves the graphical problems for most, there's still some unlucky ferals out there that the problems still remain for, but there's still 1 more thing you can try, and that is to update your graphic card drivers.

A computer is hardware, and with time it gets old just like any other thing in this world. If you had your computer for a while, and never updated the drivers, this might be the cause for FeralHeart not to work correctly. Installing Drivers for your computer is like installing any other program that it might need, though knowing how to do this might be tricky, so check the tutorial on how to Here!

If you already tried this and it's not working, chances are that your computer is getting old and can't handle the game. Installing drivers might help, but you're still running the same hardware. Try the game on another computer instead.
