Feralheart not starting up

[monkyaround1999]

I recently downloaded and installed feralheart. When I click feralheart, the initial options box pop up, I click ok, but then nothing happens. The game isn't starting up. I waited like an hour to see if it was just loading really slowly, but it's still not opening. I excited to start playing but I can't until it starts working  anyone know what's going on?

There's 2 ways you can change this setting.

How to fix it!
Either you start the game, go into the options menu, click the Video tab, and then change the rendering subsystem and restart the game.

Sometimes you aren't able to even enter the game, and all you can hear is the menu music, or it just crashes directly after launch. Those who experience this can enter the feralheart folder located in C:\FeralHeart at standard, find the file called "Ogre.cfg" and open it with wordpad.

This file works just as the ingame options menu, but instead of buttons and sliders, there's text.

What we're interested in is the top row


Set the top row text so it is just like in the picture with the text
Code:
Render System=Direct3D9 Rendering Subsystem

Save the file, and close it. Next time you run the game it should boot with the new settings you applied.

Even though this solves the graphical problems for most, there's still some unlucky ferals out there that the problems still remain for, but there's still 1 more thing you can try, and that is to update your graphic card drivers.

A computer is hardware, and with time it gets old just like any other thing in this world. If you had your computer for a while, and never updated the drivers, this might be the cause for FeralHeart not to work correctly. Installing Drivers for your computer is like installing any other program that it might need, though knowing how to do this might be tricky, so check the tutorial on how to Here!

If you already tried this and it's not working, chances are that your computer is getting old and can't handle the game. Installing drivers might help, but you're still running the same hardware. Try the game on another computer instead.

End~

If that dons't work then try unstall feralheart and reinstall feralheart again and see if that works. If that dons't work again, then try to upgrade you driver(s) card(s) because the computer you are using may be old.

What exactly happens when you try to start FH up? It's just a black screen or..?

[monkyaround1999]

Absolutely nothing. It opens the OGRE Engine Rendering Setup, I click OK, and nothing happens.

[monkyaround1999]

Didn't work. I'm not having a graphics issue, I'm having a not-starting-up issue.

Bump. Any help here? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, didn't work.

[EmpressKate243]

I have the same problem. Instead of opening feral heart an OGRE Engine Rendering Setup comes up. I checked the cgf file and instead of Direct3D9 it says OpenGL. I can change it but when i try to open feral heart the ogre rendering thing comes back and when I open the cgf again it's back to OpenGL. Can anybody tell me why?

Uninstall, and I mean really uninstall it.
Don't just click the uninstall button, well, first do that and then make sure there is absolutely no trace of Feral Heart left behind. Not even one texture. Then you have to restart your computer, reinstall and finally right click then use "run as administrator". (:
