Title: HELP - Game Crushes, though It worked perfectly before!!!
Post by: Love Joy on April 11, 2010, 04:44:29 pm
Hello People!

I am new here. I have been playing star control for over 10 years. I dowloaded the urquanmasters yesterday. Very nice, I have to say.
I played for about 2 hours and I witnessed no problems.
...but then I started the game today morning and it crushed as it opened. I uninstalled it twice and installed it again and the same problem was present.
I have windows 7. Before closing the game yesterday I changed some ooptions within the game to maximum values.
It crushes when I open the program and i get the same window. It reads as
follows:



The urqun masters encountered a fatal error.
Part of the lof follows:

The ur quan mastres v0.6.2 (compiled jan 15 2007 13:56:34)
This software comes with absolutely no warrenty;
for details see the included 'copying' file.

Netplay version 0.3. Requiring remote UQM version 0.5.4
Couldn't initialize OpenAl: 40961
Sound driver initialization failed
This may happen when a soundcard is not present or not available.
Notive: Try running UQM with '--sound=none' option.


What Can I Do? (Even reintalling does not work... yesterday it worked perfectly)

This sounds like OpenAL is acting up again; disable it (http://forum.uqm.stack.nl/index.php?topic=4186.0).

THX

I did it my self now :P
This post maid me rethink what I did.

I deleted the log (cfg file) with the changed options. It was hidden in one of my user folders which is why uninstalling did not erase it. Now it works fine :)
If someone encounters one of these problems, he will know what to do :))

Now I am gonig to look for the Androsynth and the Tallo again.
