FH won't work, PLEASE help!!!

[Kibawolf26]

So I've only been playing the game for a few weeks, maybe a month. When I first installed it, it worked great, no problems, etc.

I was banned over a mild issue and uninstalled it since I was annoyed about the admin's harsh decision, especially considering all I said was alot of trolls are at South Pole lately.

Back to the point, when I reinstalled it after a week, my ban time, it installed right but it won't work. It comes up, but its only a black screen.

It's won't go to the main menu and not even to the Kovuworks picture. It then not only crashes, but it freezes my entire computer, making my mouse vanish, I can't open task bar and I have to hold my processor button in to shut it down and restart it.

This type of crashing could ruin a computer from what I know, so someone has to address this issue. And it isn't just me, at least one other user is having this problem too. Also, when I tried to detect the problem, it said that FH wasn't compatible with my computer.

Even though it was a week previously. I have Windows 7 for PC Desktop.

I have tried a large amount of solutions from another topic regarding the same issue, and none of those solutions worked for me.

What I find really strange and irritating is, it worked on THIS same computer only a week ago! And now it isn't, so what is going on?! PLEASE HELP!

Feralheart.exe has stopped working?
(Windows)

Don't be scared, this is a common issue for many players... It's not the end of the world, I promise you. For most people, it's usually a problem with the files in Feralheart's folder that is located directly in your C: drive (local disk) on your computer, and not your computer itself. Here I will post some problems, solutions, explanations, and how to fix them!

-Solution 1-

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 sysyem 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.

Didn't work? Keep reading.

-Solution 2-
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. (Simplified: 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 accidentally 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 extensions. 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 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!

Make sure you have tried everything there. Also make sure you are only downloading the Windows setup- not the torrent or the patch.
