I was running FSOpen 3_6_10-20071007  just fine for weeks... then I downloaded and ran 3_6_10 INF to play through S:AH and INF1, which was perfect. Now, 3_6_10-20071007 won't work. Whether I try to start the game or FRED, any of the 3_6_10 builds I try to run get a crash to desktop as soon as I open them. 3_6_9 is still running just fine, so I don't know what's going on...

Any suggestions?

Could be a corrupted pilot file I suppose. Rename your data folder, make a new one and try again. If that doesn't get it, run a debug build and post the FS2_Open.log here.

Recreating the players folder has no effect. Debug works on 3.6.9 but 3.6.10 still gives me a crash as soon as I open it. However, I -do- get an FS2_open file: Here is the text

[karajorma]

Looks like a shader error to me. I've not been keeping up with what you need for them to work unfortunately but I suspect someone who has should be able to advise you.

[ShenBear]

Ok. Is there another board this should be moved to, or is there someone you can point me to so I can send a PM for him/her to take a look at this?

[Wanderer]

Try disabling the shaders (in troubleshooting section of the launcher). And check if it works then.

Also... have you tried updating drivers?

[ShenBear]

Disabling shader support did it... Drivers were already updated. I wish I knew what exactly was broken, as it used to work just fine... Thanks for your help.
