Game crash upon startup
« on: January 13, 2012, 07:24:00 am »
I downloaded two maps, that came with their own installers and put everything in the right place. When I went to restart FH, it began crashing, not even getting to the beginning of the credits. So, I restarted my computer and tried again. Same thing happened. I continuously restarted FH, as that has worked in the past, and the game just kept crashing. I tried once more to restart the computer and then the game, only to get the same result. So, I removed all the files from the maps, and restarted the computer. Still, the game crashes...what do I do?

go into the particle folder located in C:\FeralHeart.

Find multiplies of particles. Delete any particle that ends with the names _01 _02 etc.

And if it isn't that try the rendering mode change in the ogre.cfg. Still no luck just reinstall the game, remove completely, then install the game.

I tried both of those options, re-installing after deleting multiple particles didn't work, and my game still freezes up...

If you downloaded custom maps and the error occurred afterwards it looks more like it's them causing it.

If you reinstall correctly the error shouldn't arrive again since you would simply not have anything at all that used to cause these crashes, nor did the game change of how it used to be and that all the other users play.

Are you sure you did uninstall FH completely first before running a new install? Not adding any of your custom maps or other things back into the game before even trying if it worked?

Usually it's enough by just removing the folder
C:\FeralHeart

Before installing it again.

You should also check so your have Direct3D9 selected in the ogre.cfg by opening by notepad and editing the top row.

If you reinstall completely we would be certain it's not the game that's the fault atleast, and if the change of rendering mode doesn't help, it's not that either. Feels like something you must've changed or done with your computer aswell in that case.
