Game won't load.Jinantonyx10/17/2009 - 03:45

The game installed ok, but when I try to launch it, all I get is a blank screen that I can't get out of - ctrl alt delete, escape, windows hot key - nothing works.  I have to just hard boot my machine.

My specs:
OS: Windows Vista 64 bit
graphics: Intel(R) G41 express
processor: Intel Core 2 Duo

I don't know what other information you might need, just let me know...but any help would greatly appreciated.

Is there a crash.log file in the WoG folder?

Re: Game won't load.Jinantonyx10/17/2009 - 20:28

There isn't one that I can find.

crash.log is for Linux
crash.txt is for Windows

is there a crash.txt in your Wog folder?

Re: Game won't load.Jinantonyx10/19/2009 - 00:49

Not one of those, either.  I searched the folder for it, and when I couldn't find it, I just searched my whole computer for crash, just to make sure.

I have a similar problem.

I have Windows 7 with 2 desktops (2 screens).

When I launch the game, both flicker 'black' like crazy, music is playing in background.

Any ideas?

Make sure you have the "see hidden files and folder" option turned on in you Control Panel ;)

World of Goo doesn't support dual screens, so disable one screen in your options and everything would be fine ;)

Shame it doesn't just ignore the second screen or operate in a windowed mode.  :(

Will you support ignoring the 2nd screen or a windowed mode in a future patch?

I think there is fix for that on the forum, try searching for dual screen topics.

try pressin g ctr enter when you lanunch the game, that will put it in windowed mode then try pressing ctr enter again, or just run in windowed mode

After showing hidden files and folders, unfortunately, still no "crash" file.
