Game instantly closes Thread - Olvand

So my game instantly closes and the crashlog is completely empty... any ideas?

Did anything pop up before it start up. Because I have this problem where a pop up says that I need to download the 32bit or 64bit version of the game. I run a Windows 7 32bit laptop. I also tried to run it in compatibility mode, but it only had modes for Win. 7, Win. Vista and Win. Server 2008. Hope this can shed some light.

No nothing pops up and im running windows 7 64 bit

Hmm. Well I tried on of the suggestion to download the compatibility pack, but when I did installed it, I didn't help. Since there was nothing in the crash log, this is probably something to do with the compatibility of the game on Win. 7.

Hi all, Siedge also messaged me personally; this is what I answered:

Someone wrote: Hi Siedge,

Thanks for your message, and sorry for the late response. I'm sorry to read the game doesn't work for you. It's working for lots of other people, though, so it must be something specific about your machine. It crashes too soon for it to do something with the crashlog, so we're going to have to do try to 'catch' the error in a different way. A possibility would be to launch it from the Windows

* Accessories > Command prompt
* Navigate to the Olvand location with the 'cd' command (something like 'cd C:\Program Files\Desura\common\olvand)
* Type 'python.exe', hit enter, and see what is says

Let me know if you need more help!Good luck!

If more people are having this problem (like you, Lyot), feel free to try this too, and let me know the results; I might be able to help. Another response:

This was developed on a Win7 64-bit laptop, so that can't be it.

Hey Wosesel, thanks for replying. I tried the command prompt you suggested. I got it far as to the "cd C:\Program Files\Desura\common\olvand." When I typed "python.exe" and pressed enter, the command prompt said that the python.exe was not recognized as an exe or a .bat file.

^ Same thing

Whoops, sorry, my mistake. You should type 'olvand.exe' instead. And thanks for trying it so far!

PS
Also, instead of 'launch it from the Windows' I meant 'launch it from the Windows command prompt'. Man, I say a lot of wrong stuff.

It okay Wosesel. But here's the bad news. As I followed with the command prompt and what you said in your previous post, it still gave me the problem of compatibility, asking me to try to get either the 64bit or 32bit version of the game.

Lyot, I've been investigating your problem, but haven't found a solution so far. I'm using a 64 bit system myself, so maybe I did something wrong, which causes the game to only work on 64bit systems?

i get this when running on x64
Pastebin.com
edit: trying to install python 64 bit to see if it helps
edit2: no dice perhaps the python libs are missing?

Wow, I'm really sorry to read you cannot play anymore too. I really didn't expect OpenGL to respond that differently on various machines. I'll see what I can do, but so far I have no idea how to fix this, the most important problem being that I cannot reproduce the problem myself.

i am going to try to update my video card drivers i have a ATI Radeon HD 69XX series cardto latest to see if it helps

*crosses fingers*

works now updated to beta and it works

hi first let me say thanks for the chance to play this great game, I have run into the same problem as the others with a crash at launch my specs
Processor : Pentium Dual-core cpu E5700 @ 3.00GHz 3.00GHz
installed mem : 4.00GB (3.00gb usable)
system type : 32-bit window 7 home basic
graphics card : Nvidia GT 220 2gig mem
On launch with Desura get pop up : failed to launch item. failed to create Olvand process. [6: C:\Programs files\Desura\Common\olvand\olvand.exe]. [61.6]
at command prompt : this version of C:\Programs files\Desura\Common\olvand\olvand.exe is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your compter's system information to see whether you need a x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher.

good luck with the fix, looking forward to playing with all of you

Man, I can't tell you how happy I am to read that.

Thanks for your input, Morphnet! Looks like this is a 'simple' problem with the fact that I accidently used 64-bit tools to develop this version, which makes Olvand no longer work on 32-bit Windows. That'll be fixed in the next version.

awesome thats great to hear can't wait to jump in there =D thanks for the fast response Woseseltops
