Demo Crash

[brentrow]

After unzipping the game and running the chasm exe, I get a crash right after the "discord" screen.
I am running windows 7 64.
I am dying to give this game a whirl!

Thanks

Here is my crash log

Unfortunately Windows Media Player is required for music playable in this demo. To get around this you can disable music by making Music=0 in the configi.ini. Sorry for the trouble!

That's a shame. I'm getting an appcrash in kernalbase.dll (ver 6.1.7601.17932), the second I try to run the demo (even as admin). Has anyone else run into this on Win 7 64-bit? Thanks.

[James]

Have you installed XNA 4.0 runtime? Also, check the folder for crashlog.txt

[Sleel]

Hi. Yes, XNA 4.0 is installed, however, the folder contains no crash log (unless it's in a sub-folder). I get the error instantaneously, upon clicking the executable, so, perhaps it's too soon to generate one? Thanks for the reply.

[James]

Sounds very strange.. the game should at least start :/ Maybe try reinstalling XNA 4.0 if you can. Do you know if you have a Pixel Shader 2.0+ compatible graphics card?

[Sleel]

I'm running a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460, so I should be set. As far as I know, I cannot install XNA without NET Framework working correctly, so I know that NET Framework is okay, as well. I will attempt to reinstall XNA now. Thanks for the suggestions.

[Sleel]

Ha! For some reason the reinstall worked. Even though I followed the same link (in your readme file) that I did the first time around. Go Microsoft. Anyway, thanks again for the help. Looking forward to the game- I hope the KS continues on its current path. Love the Metroid meets Diablo motif. Have a good night.

Adding a bug report for the Demo to this list. Granted it's likely related to being somewhere I wouldn't normally reach, but here:

LOL now I gotta know how you caused that
