Fatal Error: World of Gookaka605/12/2010 - 17:59

Hey all,

Having some problems getting WoG to run on my computer. I bought it from that Humble Indie Bundle promo.

It says v1.30. So apparently all the patch work has been worked in.

I'm running Windows 7 x64.

I've tried:
- editing the resolution in the config.txt file as mentioned in other threads
- turning off desktop composition, visual styles, XP/Vista compatibility modes, administrator privileges etc (and all the combinations in between).

If I don't turn off desktop composition, the screen remains black and I can't do anything. I don't hear sounds either. But I have to reboot the system.

If I turn it off I get a Fatal Error:

Anything else I can try to get this going? I really want to play this game.

Thanks!

Do you guy have a dual monitor set-up? Try disabling your secondary monitor or try editing config.txt to match your primary monitor

Re: Fatal Error: World of Goosamuellopezruiz05/15/2010 - 11:40

I have only one monitor.
Yesterday, when I bought it, the game worked very well. I didn't do any change in my configuration and today I got this error message.
I will check the monitor set up...

Re: Fatal Error: World of Goosamuellopezruiz05/15/2010 - 13:23

I solved the problem, I installed the last update of my Nvidia drivers and now it works.
cheers ;)

Re: Fatal Error: World of Gookaka605/18/2010 - 00:54

Reinstallation of the drivers didn't change anything. The game still crashes. :(

Only have one monitor, nVidia drivers are the latest and configured for Single Display Mode.

Re: Fatal Error: World of Gookaka606/12/2010 - 17:52

FOUND THE PROBLEM!

Steps to try:
- Reinstall as Admin
- DISABLE Comodo Defense+ if you have it!


Stupid Comodo... causing all sorts of problems :(

Re: Fatal Error: World of GooGMMan06/14/2010 - 16:21

Never use Defense+. It's the most annoying thing ever. When I had the option, I just killed it. It's not smart software; it's paranoid.
