Title: Game won't work?
Post by: Turtlenoodle on August 28, 2017, 11:58:43 pm
Hi, I was a player from about a year or two ago and I decided to redownload Feral Heart. I clicked the web-setup download and followed Shallows' instructions on how to do that. But when I open the game and log in the background is all black. The buttons are all there but the nature scenery is gone. There's just black. I logged in and I selected one of my characters to play as, and sure enough, everything is still black. It's just a black room. I can't see anything. I have reset all their homes and the issue still persists. I redownloaded and installed it as well. I don't understand. Also, after googling what the newer Feral Heart client looks like, this version I have downloaded seems older. The buttons to the side are still brown. They aren't green like the new version. Can someone help?

You can also try redownloading it from >here< (http://www.mediafire.com/file/7b69j3pe2u6d9x0/FHsetup1.15.exe) It's the direct download to it.

Okay, I tried it, and it still is doing the same thing. I'm not sure what's wrong with it.

Try changing your rendering system

Try this:

(Make backups of any maps/presets/objects/items you want to keep!)
--- Remove your current FeralHeart installation. (Delete the FeralHeart folder or use the "Remove programs" feature for windows.)
--- Then try re-installing, but don't put any backups/mods into the clean install yet.
--- Go to the User Panel and reset and send all your characters home.
--- Test to see if it worked.

I've tried that, reset them, sent them home, all that. This is what it looks like:

I'm curious if replacing the terrains would fix it?  This thread Bawfle's back up default (https://feral-heart.com/smf/index.php?topic=58064.0) scroll down to the "terrains" one.  It's 51 MB though.

Tried it just now... didn't work :( could it be the install location? It's in Program Files for me, on my Windows computer.

Program Files?
Hm, that could be the issue. My Feral - Heart folder + everything in it has its own file in my C - Drive...

Yes, that seems to have been the issue! It turns out I didn't uninstall the game from my C-Drive anyway... so luckily I was able to salvage my old presets and items :D Thank you!
