Title: Problems loading the latest GIT: shaders/basic.xml
Post by: ChupaReaper on 3 May 2011, 18:54:11

The game wont start at all and the error.txt file produces this:

Code: [Select]

Glest Advanced Engine: Error log file. 03-May-2011_19-20-12

While loading background style for widget type 'CONSOLE'

I've made sure that I copied all the latest files and shaders/basic.xml is definitely there. Also what's up with the detectors?

Zoythrus had similar troubles loading. I recommended moving addons out of config dir and then logfiles, then when he put addons back it worked (with trying to run after each).

Deleting the widget_cfg.txt file from my config dir made it work again but then it stops working until I delete it again.
Edit: Nope this is not a fix, turns out when Glest closes it still has a process running and it wont run again until I task manager -> end process.
Edit: I've narrowed down what's wrong. When the game Crashes (isn't closed through it's menus or with alt+f4) it's process keeps running and the game wont start again until I manually end the process.

Hi Chuppa, good to see you got this narrowed down so far, and that it isn't a problem with the engine itself, as such ;)

Try disabling error reporting in windows if you haven't already, it keeps the crashed program open while preparing an error report (dumprep.exe) which is possibly the real problem.
