Feral heart disappears!?
« on: February 21, 2014, 02:53:34 pm »
Okay.
The last time i played feral heart was a long time ago on my window laptop, but one day it started saying 'Feral heart.exe has stopped working' I tried everything! But in the end i jet gave up.

Today i decided i would download it onto the mac and see if it would work. i started out fine, i logged in, selected one of my characters, and got onto the page where there is a picture of a lion as it loads, but after about 3 seconds of the lion page, it just disapeared!? I tried again a few times and i created a new character, the same thing happened.

I haven't been on feral heart in ages and I'm desperate to get playing again! Can someone please help me??

Thanks x

Did you prehaps change rendering systems? Sometimes when changing rendering systems from OpenGL> Direct3D9 help out alot cause of some computer memory issues. Also try to go through this check list to see if any of these apply to you as well

Is the computer allowing FeralHeart to connect to the internet?
Games like these needs to be able to connect to the internet, but sometimes windows doesn't know if the game/application can be trusted or it just skips adding the game to exceptions. If you aren't able to log on the game, this might be your issue.

Open up your control panel located in the start menu. Depending on which Operating system you use, and which layout it might look differently. But Windows firewall should be in the category "security" or just find the text "Windows firewall" or "Allow a program through windows firewall". This should take you to the correct place.

Once there you'll get a new window with a list of programs. Try to locate FeralHeart.exe in there and add it to exceptions by marking the checkbox. If you can't find it, and the game to the list by yourself by pressing add program.

If you don't understand how to do this still, ask someone else to do this for you.

Sometimes there might be something else blocking the program from accessing the internet. A good example of these are some Antivirus programs. This can vary a lot as well. But check up if by any chance your virus program might be blocking feralheart. And just not only by clicking the icon in the corner sayings "Nope!". Look in the advanced menus and preferences first. Only you can check this.

How's your internet connection?

Sometimes the internet connection of the users trying to play the game might be weak. This can cause you to not being able to connect or staying online for a longer time, many people might start blaming the game or server for this when it in fact might be themselves.

Here's a few things you can check:
1. Are you even connected to the internet right now?
2. Are you running any downloading/streaming programs?
3. Are there any other computers/devices using the same internet?
4. Are you currently using a wireless connection, if so, are you getting good signal?

Sometimes the internet connection can time out for various reasons and then jump back on again, so be sure to try a few times first.

Programs in the background

Downloading things or running streaming programs eats your bandwidth, and this bandwidth is needed in order to play the game, especially if you're using slower speeds. You can start by shutting off things like downloading programs and internet browsers. Maybe even IM programs such as MSN and AIM and try to play again.

Turn off extra devices
If you got more than 1 computer or other devices also using the internet, try turning them off if they're not in use. This will give you more bandwidth to spare.

On a wireless connection?

If you're using a laptop you might be using a wireless internet connection. These can sometimes loose their signal to the internet source. So try placing yourself closer to your modem, this might give you a stronger signal.

These things should solve the most connection problems!

Thanks for your help,

I uninstalled and reinstalled the game, but it still wouldn't work. I also changed the rendering systems to Direct3D9 and added the application to the firewall, but its still not working, i don't think it has anything to do with the wifi.

Hmm... Mac? Like Desktop or Laptop?
The O.S (Optertaing System) may NOT be compatiable with FeralHeart.
Remeber that Macs are way more high-tec then Windows 8 and 7.
BOOM!
