Crashes on startup

[Kairo]

Here is the window that pops up when I try and launch the game from Steam.



I looked in both the directory and My Documents/Chasm, and I can't find crashlog.txt. Sorry I'm not more helpful.

Edit: I've also tried deleting the local content off my computer and redownloading it from Steam, but that meets with the same error.

OK, there's one more thing we can try. Do you have a config.ini in your My Documents\Chasm folder?

[Kairo]

I used Event Viewer to get this error log when the program launches:

Which immediately sends a second Error event:

That said, I can find the config file in the directory. This is what opens in Notepad:

Are you positive you have updated to the very latest drivers? That error tends to happen with old drivers.

[Kairo]

Ah, my integrated graphics driver was outdated. The automated search/update didn't pick it up, but a manual install fixed that.

Got the alpha running! Thanks for the help.

[James]

Good to hear, enjoy!

Make sure you visit this thread to get access to the dev forums where we're all discussing the alpha!
