Title: Cannot run the game
Post by: rbxplayer on December 16, 2011, 01:32:32 pm

Hi,

I haven't been playing for a while. I downloaded the 3.6.14 RC1 exe file, the shaders and the updated launcher.

1. Although I set up the launcher for  1366x XXX resolution, when I run the game, it still goes to 640 x 480
2. When I then try to access anything in the mainhall, I get the following error:



ERANGE: String error. Please Report.

That's what FAQs are for, kthksbai. (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=56279.msg1180359#msg1180359)

Guys,

Thanks for your help.

After downloading the latest release the problem with the game crashes disappeared.


I still have the problem though that, irrespective of what I specify in the launcher, the game is always launched at 640 X 480 resolution, instead of 1366 x 768 and all the enhancements I include in the launcher don't work. It does pick up the mod and the mediavps though. When I quit the game, and then open the launcher again, I lose all the settings again.

I am really at a loss on this one.

LOL

Fair enough, I did not know that the logs would pick this as well... pardon my lack of IT skills...

You may need to run the Launcher once with admin privileges in order to create the necessary registry entries.
