OK, everything looks fine here. This is really strange, as you are the first person to report this error. Can you double check what setting your keyboard / International settings is set to maybe? It may also be worth re-installing .Net 4.5 Framework. I can't really think of anything else that would be causing this. Worst case, I can add extra debug information to the next build that we release. I'm really sorry for the trouble

[Hicpotboy]

Interesting note: Installing .NET 4.5 resolved the issue. Apparently XNA 4 doesn't depend on it, and I didn't have .NET 4.5 installed.

No worries about it being strange; I'm a programmer myself, and I encounter one-off bugs like this all the time. Just happy we managed to get it working.

[James]

Ahhhh, OK. I think the Enum parsing method we're using is only in .NET 4.5, which would explain the problem. Thank you very much for sticking through with it. I hope it was worth the effort for you

I am continually getting crashes on Demo 1.06 with this crashlog.
I can get the game to run by editing the config so that the music is off, but I'd really rather like to hear it.
This is with XNA 4.0 framework freshly installed and a fresh copy of Demo 1.06.

Sorry, you need Windows Media Player to play music in this demo (it won't be necessary for the final game though). If you'd rather not install it, you can just disable music by setting Music=0 in the config.ini file.

Ah, that's a shame, but it's nice to hear that it'll be fixed for the final game. I'm really looking forwards to hearing it then!
