cant load game on win 7

[wipeout]

as u can see i cant start the game on win 7

i tried updating my drivers to the latest(wich they where) installed directx(again) let steam install that program that came with it as well yet still wont start

same goes for the demo from the website

just to add windows 7 uses Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.1 Redistributable Package wich is prob the reason it isnt working

[wipeout]

seems i get the same on a fresh install of win xp where all i did was install my vid card drivers directx and framework 1.1 2.0 3.0 and 3.5 and the file that came with the install so clearly i must be missing something

[Blerk]

iirc, it uses .NET Framework 2.x. You could just install that as well - you can have multiple .NET installations on the same machine and they won't trample on each other.

[wipeout]

win 7 cant install any other framework as it tells me to install it via the turn on/off windows fuction thing but there isnt a option there and windows tech support tells me the same

and i have 2.0 on the xp as said yet still wont run

Try installing http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=A5C84275-3B97-4AB7-A40D-3802B2AF5FC2&displaylang=en
It's 4 Mb only.

[wipeout]

got that one already and 2.0 is already installed as well on win 7

Also I have found that similar errors were solved by
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=333325FD-AE52-4E35-B531-508D977D32A6&displaylang=en
but you already have it...

ya thats the strange part i have everything i can think off i would need if only my gaming pc dint have to get formatted i might have had it working on xp(that thing was so buggy that even after a error like that ud just keep the error open restart the game itl work(stupid bugs)) but get the same on my laptop that i use for work

btw the error is 725(or something near it) on the end pre dating 3.5 and 4.0 and after installing 3.5(and later on 4.0) its the one u see there

[wipeout]

anyone got a clue on why it might happen??

[wipeout]

anyone please i want to play the game just cant

[Vanger]

I could not recreate it in virtual machine.

I'll install W7 on a real box next morning (this evening is fully occupied for me).

[wipeout]

be sure to use 7600(if u have it) thats the one i have

[Vanger]

8600 only, sorry.

[wipeout]

8600 only, sorry.

nuu with 7600 i mean the version of win 7

[maledyris]

Just so you guys know, I'm on Windows 7 32-bit release candidate (7600 I think) via steam and it works fine. I think that windows 7 might not be your problem? I made no special effort to install any dotnet distribs, but other games may have done so (Braid if I remember correctly?).

[Vanger]

wipeout:
I'm installing release version (it's the same except few registry entries as 7600), x64, right?

Then first thing I do is installing Eufloria and look, what will go wrong (it didn't on cooked 7600 builds, but).

[wipeout]

x86 32 bit >.< but i find it strange as mine is a fresh install and even after adding all the stuff it still just wont run and this goes for 2 pcs now that have it

[Vanger]

Hi. Here I am on windows 7. I haven't installed anything - I type this in IE, for example.

I launched release game copy (not from steam, sorry), but from developers.
I've installed it most default way.

It launched succesfully, but looks fscking ugly.
Investigating...

[wipeout]

hm prob why mine wont start but ya i tried it at work today on a few pcs that all got a clean install from 7600 5 out of 12 failed to be able to start it >.< all just clean install with the steam download tried demo to same thing all 32 bit and i tried 5 64 bit ones no problems on then(just dont have enough 64 bit pcs to try it on)

the xp pcs on the other hand run it fine yet i cant go play on them as there used for the helpdesk >.>

anyway i dont know what to try next as a clean install of xp sp1 then upgraded to sp3 works(but my net wont work on it so can only try the demo dont ask why its to long to explain ) for the game but it crashes so thats a start but it seems to me its just something to do with some dll missing somewhere that causes it not to load as thats what happens with most of those errors from programs >.<

[wipeout]

btw just got it running on my laptop after giving it full permission installing every visual studio that i could get my hands on and installing vlc after i installed vlc it worked for some strange reason might try that later on on my gaming pc

as what i did was when i first installed it i watched a movie then tried to play the game as i got bored dint work decided to go watch a movie tried to use the directx wallpaper it was grayed out i switched some settings around so that it was able to use i turned it on windows popped up asking me to install something i said yes and after that the movie played and i tried the game again some time later on(after redling it) and it worked >.< so ya ty vlc

[Vanger]

Ok, I've updated video drivers and Eufloria runs pretty ok.

Well, I'm sorry I could not uncover this trouble for you - I've tested it on 7 7100 and 7600 with 9800GT and now on release with 8600GT - and never had anything like that.

Thank you for your patience.

[wipeout]

hehe well im lucky that vlc fixed it as i was basically lost its just strange that installing vlc would fix it o well

[Vanger]

Really strange, I'll advice it in these strange conditions.

BTW, am I free to remove W7 now?

[wipeout]

well its now just unstable(2 times return to the main menu and it crashes but doesnt matter really) plus mind telling me how to make a tree while where on it anyway? (cant figure it out >.<) o well

and ya u are

[Vanger]

You gather ten seedlings on one asteroid and press a button.
Maaan, constant crashing is no deal. If I could only reproduce it...

Ok, I just wiped out my openbsd hdd for it and am as unimpressed, as earlier.
