Micha Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 What windows are you running? On the website there is also a 32Bit demo to download, in case you use an older windows version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted November 12, 2017 Author Share Posted November 12, 2017 I'm using windows 8.1 the 32 bit didn't launch either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micha Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Make sure you have directX 9.0c or higher installed. Also try updating your graphics card drivers. Do you get any error, or does it just not start? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted November 12, 2017 Author Share Posted November 12, 2017 I'm running directx 11 and my drivers are up to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micha Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Hmm hard to say what the problem is. Someone else had the problem that windows did not extract the UnityPlayer.dll. Can you make sure you have a UnityPlayer.dll next to the executable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted November 12, 2017 Author Share Posted November 12, 2017 It's there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micha Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 It's there. Can you check if you have a logfile in the Nimbatus Data folder? Maybe this may help find the cause of the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted November 12, 2017 Author Share Posted November 12, 2017 Can't see an obvious log file. What would it be called? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micha Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Can't see an obvious log file. What would it be called? It would be called Player.log Mhh not good in this case it could not even start, maybe an anti virus software is not allowing the game to launch. Another way to analyze the error is to have a look into the windows event viewer, if there is an error related to the start of Nimbatus ( https://www.digitalmastersmag.com/magazine/tip-of-the-day-how-to-find-crash-logs-on-windows-8/ ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted November 13, 2017 Author Share Posted November 13, 2017 There is an error created when starting nimbatus. It doesn't mean anything to me but maybe you can learn something from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted November 13, 2017 Author Share Posted November 13, 2017 Also, no file called player.log and it doesn't launch when anti-virus is disabled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micha Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 It's really hard to say what the problem is. Another thing you could try is installing .Net 3.5, we use it in the Game. Normally windows 8 should already have .net 4.5 installed. But it may be worth a try ( https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/install/net-framework-3-5-on-windows-8-plus ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted November 14, 2017 Author Share Posted November 14, 2017 That didn't help either. Maybe its the fact I'm using windows 8.1 Industry pro instead of a home or other type. I haven't had problems with any other games though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
