Game crashes before log-in screen shows
« on: April 15, 2012, 08:27:50 pm »
I just started having this problem last night after I logged out. Everything was running smoothly beforehand. Earlier today I wanted to edit a map so I tried to open the program and I got the Ogre file problem message. I closed it out, saved my maps, and then re-installed the game but now it brings up that options screen and won't go passed it. I tried re-installing a few more times but nothing's changed... (Tried restarting once too) Any suggestions?

I can get this far:


Then after I click "OK" I get this:


It's never given me trouble like this before... Well, nothing that re-installing or restarting my computer couldn't fix anyway...

The ogre errors is something that users can get either when trying to boot up the game or when entering a custom map. These errors come directly from the game, and even though the error messages might look a lil messy, most of the time they actually clearly shows where the problem is. Ogre errors can also come up from broken installers that doesn't install all the files needed to run the game, and in these cases "The magical fix" usually solves this. Uninstall>re-download>Install with new installers.

An example of an ogre error below:

That one is pretty much straight out saying that the following file "Gui Template/Reminder" Is missing. And in this case, if something is missing, an uninstall and re-install should do the trick. But there can be other errors like "Items already using the name blabla" or "Failed to create OpenGL rendering". They can vary very much, some are easier to fix than others.'

If you look <here>, you will find a big list of previous ogre errors, and many of them with a solution. So take a look there. (Thanks to Shell Prisoner for making that thread)
