[b32] Unable to launch the game [SOLVED]

[Reverend Bizarre]

When I launch the game, the starting screen with awesome art from Shockbolt and a progress bar appears. The latter stalls on a random value, use of CPU reaches 98-100% and I have to kill the process. This also happened with earlier version of b32, links to which were once given at IRC.

One line in stderr: PANIC: unprotected error in call to Lua API (Unable to initialize: attempt to call a string value)

I experience exactly the same

[Reverend Bizarre]

Darkgod came up with a solution to this issue on IRC. So, to fix this problem you need to create (or modify, if it is already created) fbo_active.cfg file in the folder .../T-Engine/4.0/settings, open it and write there:

fbo_active = false

That fixed the problem for me and somebody else at IRC channel.

I reformatted my computer today and was facing this issue, even after creating the fbo_active.cfg file. It was easily solved by running a copy of b31 before trying b32 though.

(This was on windows xp, it locked up at 0% and never went past it)

What's in your te4_log & stderr.txt ? (remove them before running the game)

[sandertu]

i cant seem do fint this .../T-Engine/4.0/settings folder.

Running the latest version, all I get is a white window flash for a second and that's it...

PC info: Windows 7 64bit, Ati Radeon 3850 HD Magic graphics card, AMD Phenom II X4 Processor (3,4 GHz) , 4 Gb RAM

Changing resolution and FBO trick didn't work.







EDIT : I got the game working - all I had to do was right click on t-engine.exe, choose 'properties' from the compatibility tab, tick 'disable desktop composition' and voila it worked!

One line in stderr: PANIC: unprotected error in call to Lua API (Unable to initialize: attempt to call a string value)

Why i quoted from old post? Because this is not solved, nothing what was posted in the topic help me. This is frickin frustrating...

EDIT: Oh yes, im talking about B40

[Matthew]

Do anyone even care that somebody needs help? Or you are the type of human which dont care if they have not your own problems? WTF with you? You which want to call yourselves community? I need help!
