FeralHeart refusing to open/crashing

[Doomhuntress886]

Have been trying to play Feral recently and it crashes every time I try to open the game, can someone help me out with this? Video upload to show what's going on

Looks like it just refusing to open.

Maybe try running as administrator, or perhaps the game wasn't fully installed?

Hi, have you exported any maps before the crashes occurred?

Every time you export a map, it might generate some junk files in folder:
FeralHeart/media/particles
the files can be recognized from that they have a number in their filename (such as aura_0.particle and water_1.particle).

Those files can cause such crashes and should be deleted.



If that's not the reason for the crash, I can recommend trying to launch FeralHeart.exe from command prompt. This way you'll be more likely able to see the reason for the crashes.

You can do this by launching Command Prompt and entering these 2 commands to it:
cd C:/FeralHeart
FeralHeart

This will launch the FeralHeart normally, except that the console won't disappear after crash, which will likely show you the reason for it.

Nothing. It kept opening for a second then just quitting. The Aura_0 file was in there though so I deleted it

Here's he cash log anyway. Just in case it helps

Something a little bit different here.
Can you launch the Command Prompt and run those two commands?

cd C:/FeralHeart
feralheart.exe > .\debug.txt 2>&1

Then after crashing check for the file "debug.txt" and scroll down the bottom to see the reason for the crash or send us the file here.

This is what it gave as the reason

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'Ogre::ItemIdentityException'
  what():  OGRE EXCEPTION(4:ItemIdentityException): ParticleSystem template with name 'WaterSplash' already exists. in ParticleSystemManager::createTemplate at ../../../../../OgreMain/src/OgreParticleSystemManager.cpp (line 289)

I've looked all over for this WaterSplash and I can't find anything related in the FeralHeart folder. Would y'all have an idea on where to look for it?

FIGURED IT OUT

Two sneaky .particle files labeled water_1&0 that I DIDN'T NOTICE. Little buggers! It launches just fine now Thank you for the assistance though!

Since the issue has been resolved, I will lock this.
