[RESOLVED] Crash on start Thread - Liquid Cubed

Crashes immediately if i try to start it, immediately! very sad
Afterwards there is the option to send a error report to microsoft.

Hi there, please confirm that you have the following installed:

• Microsoft XNA Framework Framework Redistributable 3.1
• Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1
• DirectX 9.0c (or Better)

TO CHECK FOR MICROSOFT XNA 3.1 FRAMEWORK

1. Go to Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs
2. Look for "Microsoft XNA Framework Redistributable 3.1"

TO CHECK FOR MICROSOFT .NET FRAMEWORK 3.5 SP1

1. Go to Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs
2. Look for "Microsoft XNA Framework 3.5 SP1"

TO CHECK FOR DIRECTX:

1. Go to Start > Run
2. Type in: "dxdiag" and press "OK"
3. Under "System Information" confirm the DirectX Version is DirectX 9.0c

If you've confirmed these are installed and are still having trouble, please click on the "Save All Information" button inside the DIrectX Diagnostics window and send us the DxDiag.txt so we can analyze the problem.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

I'll just post here because I have a similar problem.
That is, when I try to start it, the program simply shuts down without any errors.
EDIT: I just noticed, the mouse cursor is set to the center of the screen. Maybe that helps ..

I have all 3 requirements and I checked again to make sure.
Some addition information ... I have XP, a decent computer and two monitors.
I'll just go and check if other XNA games work here, maybe it's a general problem.

Nice work btw, is it scalable?

If the mouse cursor was set to the center of the screen, that does indeed help. Could you try version 1.0.0 (19 mb) to see if it also gives the same error?

Oh, and how do you mean, "scalable"?

Yes, the old version actually works runs. There are still some texture problems. I apparently can't post links because I'm still a new member so I'll try to explain it instead. The left sides of the textures are odd, looks like the texture coordinates for both points are set to 0,0. The game itself looks great.

By scalable I meant if it works for very big maps or even "infinite" ones, as in Minecraft. Speaking of which, are you trying to get this into MC? Because I'd love it.

EDIT: Sending links over PM works, check your inbox

Edited by: copyboy

We've had another person report the same texture problem as you're describing. Would you mind sending a PM with your DxDiag report so we can compare the machines? We believe we have a fix for the problem but would like to confirm what hardware is causing it.

As for being scalable, yes, it's designed to be fully scalable to include Minecraft-sized infini-maps, and yes, we are contacting Markus Persson to see about having the liquid system integrated into Minecraft.

Texture Problem:

UPDATE 1:
We have a potential fix for 64-bit operation systems that should work until we've rolled out version 1.0.2. You can read more about it in the thread here.

UPDATE 2:
Version 1.0.1b is now uploaded and should no longer crash 64-bit operating systems. If there are still any errors or issues with this version, please let us know!

Very stupid -.- didnt read the requirements carefully and i didnt installed the xna redist. problem solved

Well that's good to know!

This weekend we're going to have to see why the warning screen doesn't pop-up for when you don't have XNA 3.1 installed.

When I open example map, liquid cubed crashes. I think, this is because the save format has been changed since they were made.
If I move example map to LiquidCubed-1.0.2 folder and rename it to MapBackup.xml liquid cubed crashes immediately after starting.
Loading my maps works fine.

@DiEvAl

We'll look into this!

Update:

In regards to the crashes, Liquid Cubed 1.0.4 on up will display messages in the event that specific dependencies were missing.

The Legacy ATI display issue we haven't had time to reverse engineer yet, but it's still on the todo list. If it's important to you, let us know and we'll make this a greater priority!
