Game will not start in Windows 7

    Modified by on Monday, January 24, 2011 - 15:23

    I've just installed the alpha client, followed the instructions on the download page for 384.4 in terms of changing pref files, and when I start up Istaria.exe I see the standard small launcher window, then it opens the full-size game window (solid black) and then closes the game completely. 

     

    I enabled logs, and have attached my log file below. 

     

    I'm running the following:

     

    Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit

    Intel Core2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz

    4GB RAM 

    DirectX 11 

     

    Any idea what might be going on?

     

    Edited to add: Didn't attach the log file for some reason.

     Here's the last few lines, if that helps:

    Hello there - yes, my client

    Hello there - yes, my client was originally set up to clear world cache on startup; is there a particular pref I can set that will ensure it's always cleared?

     

    Rename (and copy somewhere

    Rename (and copy somewhere else) your world_cache folder. (<Istaria's_root_folder>/world_cache/*)

     

    The game should then create a new one, empty.

     

    If you want to switch back to the current live client, simply restore the world cache folder

     

    I'm not sure that the world cache is the reason, but it I think it's interesting to try this first :)

     

    Moving the world cache and

    Moving the world cache and forcing a new one to be built didn't do any good.
