Topic: game crashes on start

yesterday the game worked fine.
today i can't start it anymore, because i just get a message that it stopped working. in other words: the game crashes immediately when i try to start it (the console is there though until it crashes).

i've not changed any settings except for the volume and the language ingame.
i use windows 7 64 bit. i've looked through the forums, but i haven't found anything that helped me so far. I already tried downloading the game again, but that did not work.

if anyone has got an idea, your help will be appreciated!

Re: game crashes on start

I assume you're using the vanilla client. It would be great if you could give us a log (a screenshot of the console before it crashes).

Try running the client from a Windows console.
Here is how: start a console, navigate through directories with cd to the Teeworlds folder, then type

teeworlds.exe

This way, you'll see the last messages in the console before the client crashed. Give us a screenshot or copy paste the messages.

Not Luck, Just Magic.

Re: game crashes on start

Have you changed any file, like the replacing the font?

Re: game crashes on start

no i haven't changed anything except for the language and the volume both ingame. and as i said, the game worked fine yesterday and it did not crash then - not when i started it, not while i played it and not when i quit the game.

so, after several reboots of my pc the game works again. i don't know why that is and i still would like to know what exactly caused the problem, but apparently i can play it again. weird. i haven't  had this problem with any other game so far by the way, so i don't think it's necessarily the fault of my system...

Re: game crashes on start

If you have Visual Studio installed you can try debugging it (probably not so easy without symbols) or try compiling trunk as debug.

Re: game crashes on start

Well log shows that everything is fine so can't see what was the problem. Have you made any changes to your computer or windows itself?

If the game somehow magically works again then there are chances that sometime in the future it will crash again.

P.S. cd works only on the system partition right? So if you have teeworlds on E: for example then you have to copy and paste it to somewhere on C:. So annoying -.-

You can type 

C:\Program files> e:

to change the partition and then use cd to go deeper. I don't defend it, it's a joke, comparing to Gnu/Linux shells.

But... what if we tried more power?
