Phoenixstar117 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 By galaxy I mean a save or such. See the game installed correctly. It loaded up correctly, music and all. I then click on single-player, new, etc until it gets to the loading screen. It has the loading screen, nice tip at the top and a nice background... Then about five or eight seconds later BOOM, crash. I have re-installed the game several times, updated my drivers, etc. But nothing fixes the problem. See the thing that really boggles my mind is my brother has the exact same laptop (Alienware M14X R1) with the same drivers, and yet it works fine for him. Game loads the galaxy just fine and he already has a nice ship and such, meanwhile I am stuck with the loading screen and crashes. COMPUTER SPECS (Just so you can have a look...): RAM: 8gb Processor: Intel® Core i5-2430M - 2.40Ghz - Duel Core System: Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium Graphics Card Used to Run Game: Nvidia GeForce 555m Side Notes: When the game crashes the programs "Launcher.exe" and "SpaceServer" stay open inside the Task Manager, programs that start upon starting the game. Inside my brother's game settings the shader tab has multiple choices, mine only has low. Thanks for reading this and if you got a answer please do tell me! Me and my brother have spent hours trying to get the game to work with no luck and are really down about it. So any help or ideas, please do tell me! (P.S. I have tried running in Administrator, moving the file location, and mucking with system compatibility) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxelware Team koonschi Posted May 28, 2014 Boxelware Team Share Posted May 28, 2014 Hi there. What kind of crash are we talking about here? Does the game just close or is there a windows error message like "Avorion.exe has stopped working"? In order to tell you more you'll have to post the clientlog.txt file. You can find it in your %appdata%\Avorion folder. One common problem is that Intel provides graphics drivers, too. There were issues when people had both graphics drivers active, and the game chose the intel driver instead of the nvidia driver. Deactivating the intel graphics device via the hardware manager seemed to have worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill get the clientlog in a little bit as I fully deleted the game the other day. As a side note though, for some reason the older version (5.5) works if I delete this certain 3d file.

Boxelware Team koonschi Posted May 28, 2014 Boxelware Team Share Posted May 28, 2014 if I delete this certain 3d file. What certain 3d file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenixstar117 Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 if I delete this certain 3d file. What certain 3d file? The instanced3D.vert But it does not matter, turns out the game was not actually playing through the Nvidia and instead the Intel, so with some editing I got it to stay on the Nvidia. Then it crashed again. So I tried full screen and BAM it works fine. The game loads up, the LAN works so I can play with my brother. Amazing game by the way, amazing work you have done. But yep its all sorted out, just have to play the game using the Nvidia and in fullscreen and it works fine. Also deleting the instanced3D.vert makes the game error crash in the newer version, but seems to make the game work in the older version for me.

Boxelware Team koonschi Posted May 29, 2014 Boxelware Team Share Posted May 29, 2014 I'm glad you got it to work! The issues with the instanced3D file should be fixed in the next version. I'd still be interested in a logfile when you try to play the game in non-fullscreen mode and it crashes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trojandronepros Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 I have the exact problem, and installing new drivers didn't work. I'm running Avorion 0.6. My computer specs are: Processor : Intel core i3-2328m Quad core, Graphics : Intel HD 3000, Ram : 4gb, Operating system : Windows 8 64bit. clientlog.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My computer specs are: Processor : Intel core i3-2328m Quad core, Graphics : Intel HD 3000, Ram : 4gb, Operating system : Windows 8 64bit. I checked your logfile, it looks like your graphics device doesn't support several extensions required by the game. The problem with Intel Graphics and OpenGL is, that they claim to support OpenGL 3, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 etc, but there are several extensions simply missing. It's not complete. If installing new drivers didn't work, I'm afraid you're out of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trojandronepros Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 :( What are the extensions needed to run the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxelware Team koonschi Posted August 10, 2014 Boxelware Team Share Posted August 10, 2014 These should be all the extensions necessary to run the game: GL_ARB_framebuffer_object GL_ARB_vertex_array_object GL_EXT_framebuffer_blit GL_EXT_framebuffer_object Can you find out which ones are missing?

trojandronepros Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 The extensions I'm missing are GL_EXT_framebuffer_object and GL_ARB_vertex_array_object. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxelware Team koonschi Posted August 18, 2014 Boxelware Team Share Posted August 18, 2014 I'm afraid there is no working around those, you'll need a better graphics device to play the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skybbles Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Observation: Every time that happens, i see a ton of cmd windows opening and closing and they all say "invalid command" IDK if that has anything to contribute to the topic, but hope this helps!
