Game Crash

[unnbrellas]

Feral Heart keeps crashing, the normal FeralHeart.exe has stopped working yadayadaya. It gives me the message right as I open the game, nothing ever comes on the screen.I've already checked my particle files, I have no duplicates.

I'd really like to get my game working again so please and thank you for any help. i am not going to reinstall, so please stop suggesting it.

Idk, but maybe try re-downloading the game?
Have you recently download any markings/presets/maps/presets/items/etc?
If so, maybe the one that are listed above ^ may have the problem wih you're game problem?
I wish you luck finding the solution! ^.^

[Honest~Faith]

As said above, try re-installing your game and install it again.
That problem seems familiar to me, I used to have that kind of problem with my Feral-Heart game. What I did, I restarted my PC and my Feral-Heart game was working again, maybe try that.

I have seen alot of you with this problem, so I am attempting to help!

If this has happened to you, I hope you try what I typed.

Also, if you have any new ideas, leave a comment, and I will add it!


Idea 1.

Sometimes, Feralheart is just downright laggy. This will cause you to crash before entering a server. It helps if you;

1. Turn the view distance down to Zero
2. Turn off water reflection
3. Wait a minute of so after crashing

Idea 2.

People put meshes, objects, and particles in the wrong files sometimes. When you do that, you should find the file and delete it. If a particle has _0 (I think) after it, delete that as well.
When I put an object file in the wrong folder, I had to delete my ENITRE exports folder, becuase I cound't find it, then re-install Feralheart. You do not want to do that.

How to fix this issue;

1. Delete the file.
2.Move the file
3(Maybe) Fix the material file.
4. Delete everything then re-install. (<--Not fun)

Idea 3. (This is the biggest issue I have)

I find, that certain keys I press crash FH.
The ? key, " key, | key, > key and < key are the problem for me. I do not know why this is, but it is a truley rare issue.
Just avoid those keys as I do. Sometimes they work, sometimes they dont.

How to fix;

1.Ingore it. (My way )
2.Post a help thread to find the solution.
3. Ingore it. (Most likely, and yes, again. :I)




I hope this helps, remember, if you have any further questions, or have an extra problem/solution that you would like me to add, leave a comment.


I hope this helps!



Method idea from Lord Surahaga: (This was one of the problems I have had early)

It sometimes helps if you change your renderind system. By clicking options in the game, and then video settings. Then, you switch either OpenGL or Direct3D9.

Even running the program as admin (Right click, then hit Run as Administrator) often helps.

I'm not going to re-install, I have to many mods maps and objects. I've restarted my computer 3 times. I can try changing the rendering system, but I don't think that would be the issue. If that doesn't work, I'll try running as an administrator.

EDIT
I went to change the rendering mode in the start up box, but when I click the drop down, it only give me one option instead of the two. When I close the start up box and try opening it again, it will only give me the option of the other one. I think this is the problem, but I'm not sure how to fix it.

It helps if you uninstall the game and re-install it. It also would be best to not download a whole bunch of add-ons to the game. Items and Mass Markings are ok, but try not to download so many maps.

[unnbrellas]

I actually only have 3 maps downloaded- movie theater, hunger games, and a private roleplay map. None are to large. Most of my maps are my own personal ones. And it's not like I had been working on maps before the crash, so I really don't see how that could be the issue.

Uhm, you can always, put Items/Maps/Mods/etc., in another folder and re-install the game. :/
Good luck! ^.^

For your rendering system, perhaps this may help?

How to Change Your Rendering System
~Windows 7 and 8~

Method number 1~

First, go into C: > Feralheart. If you look at the FH main folder, you will see a flie called:
'orge.cfg'
Click it, and open it with 'NOTEPAD'.



Look at the first two lines in the orge.cfg file. That is where you change your rendering system.



If you followed everything that was typed and the instructions in the pictures, you should have successfully switched your rendering system.

Method number 2~

Turn on FH!
On the main screen, you will see this:



Click options, and go to video. Click 'Rendering System.'



Then just simply switch your rendering system.

Note that sometimes method 2 doesn't awlways work- That's why I listed the orge.cfg file first. ^^


Good luck! Hope this helped those who don't know how to change their rendering system!~

[unnbrellas]

I have to say, that did help Oreo, but not in the way you intended. I now see that I am missing lines 3-11 on the ogre.cfg. Do you think you could copy and paste them here?
