Feral Heart Crash problem. Help needed!

[Yedaji]

I am not entirely new to FH. I used to have it roughly half a year ago. After I reinstalled Win Vista on my comupter I also redownloaded and reinstalled FH (just recently). But now I cannot gat back into the game. I even tried Feral Hearts+.
FH doesn't even let me get into the game. It crashes directly after launching it without an error message. Feral Heart+ works, but once in game besides my character everything shows up black.

I tried everything, reinstalled both games (exited Antivirus and Firewall during installation). Redownloaded both games, uninstalled both games once more, deleted the folders, reinstalled them again. Changed rendering settings (?) from Direct3D9 to OpenGL or whatever it was. Also updated Direct X and my graphics card along the way.
My computer is very well able to handle the game. And I had it installed and working on this computer before I reinstalled the OS.

Now I have no idea what else I can try to get FH working or how to repair the graphical glitches in Feral Hearts+.

Any help you be great.

I'll look around for a fix to your regular version problem though.

I tried it. Doesn't work for Feral Hearts+ for me. Also, although I always exit my Antivirus (because Comodo loves to destroy my installations) suddenly whenever I try to reinstall and uninstall Feral Hearts+, the Uninstall exe dissappears. Only one Comodo said it was bad file (dunno if virus or something, false positive since I scanned it several times before installing). So it is the Antivirus's fault it dissapeared before. But even though I close Comodo it still happens.
Nevertheless, no matter where and how I install Feral Hearts+ the blackscreen problem persists.
Didn't get any further with the normal FH either.

Have you tried running it in administrator? Vista sometimes does that and u need to right click and run as admin.

Always make sure you double check things like DirectX and Graphic drivers installed correctly and nothing is missing out.

This is just an example, but on my new laptop I got a while ago there was no directX drivers installed with it and windows updates didn't install it either, nor did the directX install that comes with FH main installer work.

I downloaded one directX installer but the game didn't launch still when using OpenGL rendering, tried another package and that one did infact make the game work even though it just placed some bin files for directx into my documents folder.

Also making sure/double checking that the graphic card drivers are in fact up to date and the correct one wouldn't hurt either.


If I were you I'd
-Double check so you got the correct video card drivers installed

-Check so your C++ libraries on the computer is up to date
I do believe this is sorted out by running windows update function for the computer and installing whatever comes up, however, in some cases you might need to download and install these manually so that would be something for you to try if windows updates and restarting the computer afterwards doesn't help.

Here's link for it if so,

You can always try to download directX again, I'm not fully certain but I do believe this
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109

is the correct download. And of course, always make sure you try different rendering modes. The things above should sort your game crashing and whateverz, but if visual glitches such as black characters and ground appear it is most likely the drivers for your graphics card/chip.

install the sturf on your own risk though and stay away from FH+ since it will not make anything better.

OH MY GOODNESS! That was dumb. I used to game a lot, but after reinstalling Win Vista I didn't. Turned out either DirectX or C++ was outdated. I think it was C++. After manualy installing it Feral Hearts now runs smoothly.

I admit I feel very dumb now. I checked and double checked everything BESIDES C++.
Thanks for giving me the right hint. c: I am now finally able to play FH again (not sure about FH+, I deleted it. I am content enough with FH).

can maps cause FH to crash upon start up? if so is there a limit to how many maps can be handled at once?

Diamond, don't post on others threads with different topics. If your Feral Heart is crashing on start-up, check your objects and particle folders for doubles.

Jade,please don't post in others thread, and also in old ones. Anyway I think you should 'Reset Character' In order to do that, log in the golden box, and after you did that, click 'Character Reset'
