Quite possibly some kind of system configuration issue or conflict on my desktop. My Windows 7 Pro x86 laptop runs the game perfectly fine, albeit a touch on the slow side. ;) | ||||

Have you made any changes to /data/init/init.txt? Have you tried installing the game in a different location, for example C:\Games or something? |
|
|
Foot, I don't think the issue is the location - the users folder isn't write-restricted like Program Files, so it should be fine. He says he can't run any of the old versions either. So it seems like something larger is at work here. As Foot says, these are completely unmodified versions of the game you're using? I guess check audio drivers, video drivers, too. |
|
|
Ah okay, good to know that about the Users folder. Updating drivers would be good, yeah, although I'd have expected a driver DLL to show up under the Module Name thing if that was the cause (I don't think it needs symbols for that?) |
|
|
Confirmed that User/*Username*/Downloads on Win 7 Pro x64 with DF (.31.02 to be specific) doesn't crash on my machine. So it's something user/hardware specific. I only guess Audio/Video drivers because of the intro vids. Have you tried in both Windowed and Full Screen? Have you tried disabling the intro/audio in the INIT? |
|
|
Thanks for the replies, guys. I've tried windowed and fullscreen, yes. Currently the method is: download from website, extract to folder, run executable. No modifications whatsoever. I'm running the 11/24/2009 Catalyst drivers (I think that's 9.11) for my ATI HD4850. I just modified the init.txt to set Sound and Intro to OFF and neither changed the outcome at all.. |
|
|
Okay, went ahead and updated the catalyst drivers and now it works just fine.. Thanks for the suggestions, guys. :) Case closed! |
|
|
Hahah, hooray! Glad to hear that the game is finally working, no thanks to outdated drivers. Have fun! |
|
|
Drivers from last November? Wow, yeah, definitely try updating. Win 7 launch drivers were pretty unstable. It looks like the most recent Win 7 64-bit drivers are from the end of March. e: haha, I'm slow. Glad that worked. |
