[b41] win 7 - tome stopped working on my computer

#1 Post by wobbly »

ok, it was working then it crashed saving on entering Kor Pul (hit 100% then just stopped). Now t-engine wont load. I've tried reinstalling a copy & this hasn't worked. I've tried deleting the files saved in user/computer/t-engine (is there anywhere else it saves info?), re-installing & shutting down. Also doesn't work. The start screen just appears & doesn't move off 0%.

Hmm. added --flush-stdout & now it loads perfectly fine. I read somewhere on the forum that this created a log file but it wasn't very clear about where the log file is saved. I also don't understand why this causes it to run or what was stopping it running in the 1st place.

Edit: Spoke too soon. I've had it stop working & start working again a couple of times now. Really confused, it was working fine before except for a rare crash or 2

Ok, now have repeatable (at least on my computer) experience. Delete t-engine folder from user/computer, b41 no longer loads. Load b31 move start up screen, game says something about the screen resolution having been changed, I click ok. Exit game. b41 now loads again.

Apologies for the multiple posts. After further playing around I've found that while beta41 will play in 800x600 it will not initially load on windows 7 with the screen set to that resolution. Loading an earlier beta allows you to adjust the resolution setting after which beta41 will load. (uping the res. setting inon windows also works).

Another issue is while it plays in 800x600 some text doesn't fit on screen (character sheet, monster info when standing on item)
