Try manually starting your custom WoG. Don't use GooTool just to start it, if you haven't made any changes.

i can start it normally it is just that when i use gootool to start it, it doesnt start

I've seen something similar...

I click Save and Launch... it saves.. then sits there.... and sits there...
and the moment I close GooTool.. the game starts.

Maybe GooTool somehow took up all the processing cycles? That usually explains why things don't start in the time that they usually should.

for me, Pavke, it doesnt eventually start up

i got it to hang so i left it alone while i did homework and ate supper. And when i checked it again 3 and a half hours later, it still hadnt started. no big deal though, i have made a habit of starting the game from the icon anyways

Ditto. But it's still an issue that should ideally be fixed some time.

If you quit GooTool, World of Goo will launch immediately. But yes, it's a bug.

This used to only be an issue in my development IDE so I assumed it was something to do with being a subprocess of that. But now it's happening for me and others using the standard exe, so I'll take a look at it. May be related to Java version.
