I fixed that bug by changing "Run on compatibility mode" to windows 98. Well, I'm not sure if it would work with you, cuz I use vista.. but trying won't kill ya lol. |
Well... That's what bugs me the most. I already did try it in compatibility mode, with every system available (95,98,ME,2000); but I always get the exact same error message... (I have Windows XP.) 
Nevertheless, thanks for the tip, even though I already know it.

Exact error message was? And log output? It crashed before entering the menu right?

Yup, it always crashes before getting to the menu. There is no log output, I searched the whole folder for one. The exact error message is:
| Error Message wrote: | egoboo.exe hat ein Problem festgestellt und muss beendet werden.

| English Translation of the message wrote: | egoboo.exe spotted a problem and must be closed.
If you hadn't saved your work yet, it might have been lost.

That link just yields tons of completely senseless numbers and letters though... 
stderr is empty.
stdout is empty, too.
log doesn't exist.

That is a bad error...
Maybe it has something to do with the DLL's ?
I take it you have run the extra exe file for windows users? (installing the distribution package)

Hmmmm... If this is not a bad error message, it may indicate that some required DLL is not being found.
Egoboo will usually complain in the log if any of the SDL-related DLLs are missing.
Zefz, I always link the VC runtime libraries statically with the .exe, so that it does not require MSVCRTXX.dll to be distributed with the program... |

Quite some time ago already.

Could you give me a link to that dll? Maybe everything will be fine if I put it into egoboo's folder... ...hopefully...

You should be able to download it from the microsoft site. The latest runtime package should work, but I think Zefz is distributing with version 7.2.
Placing this in the Egoboo directory should work.
However, this file should have been installed properly if you used the installer. |

...that's weird. Maybe it isn't the .dll after all? Argh, this is so annoying and complicated...

I remember trying to do so once, but I encountered some problems. Maybe I should check it out next time I build the game.

That would be nice, that means, if it helps in any way...
Well, I guess I'll wait for 2.7.5c then and try that one out, in the hope that at least that one will work for me then.
By the way, I felt that I should split this topic, as my problems at running Egoboo don't really fit in *Progress*.

Bad news. I just managed to get 2.7.5c compiled on my now working laptop (In visual c++ 2008!). That's the good news. There is bad news too. The bad thing is that the game doesnt run properly anymore. Selecting a module makes the game crash after 2-3 seconds (I manage only to see all objects spawn and begin falling). No errorlog.
Not the same error as you though, the menu runs fine, egoboo seems to find and load all files and music plays.
