Game won't open
« on: December 24, 2011, 09:38:11 pm »
When I was back at my house, the game was working fine for me and I could play it without any problems.  Then I got to my grandparents house and when I logged in, it canceled the long in and told me to download the new Feral Heart patch, so I did(or atleast I thought it was the new patch when it was not).  Then when I tried to open the game, it said that Feral Heart has stopped working and windows is trying to solve the problem.  This has only happened once but was fixed once I uninstalled the game and then re-installed, so I did that, it did not work at all and it still is saying that Feral Heart has stopped working.  I do not know what to do anymore, please help  :'(

Did you make sure ANYTHING fh related, other than what you wanted to save (preset etc), before reinstalling it? Including the setup and the patch setup?

It's doing the same thing for me to. I'm starting to think that it is because lots of people are downloading the patch since it was released not too long ago.
I am who I am. Your approval isn't needed. <3

When I uninstalled it, some of the folders stayed in it like my presets, screen shots and exports ect.  No matter how many times I uninstalled it, the folders still stayed.  And are you sure it is the new patch? Because I downloaded it and it showed a (3) next to it, indicating that this is the third time I already downloaded it.  What is so amazing in that new patch that everyone just has to have it o_e Will it be fixed soon because FH is one of the things that keeps me busy when I am bored.

Right, copy your files that have everything in that you want to keep. Paste them in your documents. Delete the Feral Heart folder and empty your recycle bin (if you have one). Delete the installer too. Delete the old patch installer. You still have the files you wanted to keep in your documents right? Then re-download the installer using the download option (or torrent, the torrent seemed to work better for me but only for the game itself, not the patch). Make sure anything else feral heart related is deleted from your local disc C: drive, even the short cuts on your desktop or task bar (if you have windows 7) other than feral heart plus if you have it. Once you're sure everything is deleted and you've emptied the recycle bin and downloaded the installer for the game, run the installer and install the game again. Do not add your old files yet. Get the new fh patch (optional at the moment as the patch and server are having issues) installer and install that later.

This should work. It worked for me earlier.

Add your old files once you're sure the game is working but don't over do it, like, add 356 meshes to it or something for map making and so on. You can add more stuff to it gradually when you're sure it works.

Wow that somewhat confused me and scared me since half the things you said I never had like the installer or fh plus, all I ever had were documents and some other stuff.  I uninstalled the game once more, when I tried opening the file it said this version is corrupted, please try a different one.  I do not know that that means and that worries me, and by deleting everything do you also mean I have to delete these things http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=dyozub&s=5

Yes, delete all that stuff too. Delete the FH folder once you've uninstalled it. It should stop saying it's corrupt.
