Problem with my World Of Goo

Ok, I checked my debug output.

It's also saying things like:

[2052] Could not open sound file: res/sounds/nuke_cover_close.en.ogg

I don't think the problem is the language.
In the video valapsp posted it looks more like his device having problem with too much particleeffects or something like that. But this is also just a wild guess.

For some reason my PC is giving heaps of random messages along with the WoG output (something about "underlying threads"), but I'll just cut those out and post the WoG output:

Mine's also trying to load .en.ogg files, but it works perfectly. So that's not the problem.

Also, out of curiosity, I changed the language to Dutch (<param name="language" value="nl"/>) and it tried to load .nl.ogg files.
Maybe a beta version of WoG loaded language-specific sound files, before they realised there wouldn't be any dialog, and they just forgot to remove the code. I wonder what would happen if I made such a file though, would WoG load it? And would it use it?

Interesting thought. I'm couriuos about your result.

Found the result. I will post a new thread in Mods and Hacks since I don't want to derail this topic.

EDIT: Here it is.

Actually, according to MOM4Evr pirated copies are pretty shoddy and GooTool doesn't work with them.

Anyway, getting a pirated copy isn't the best option, reinstalling would be a better bet. That would reset any changes that might have caused this change, and if you bought your copy then it's extremely unlikely that there is anything wrong with the installer.

EDIT: Is it solved? I didn't think it was solved yet...

Yeah, but he tried reinstalling didn't he? And that language thing is really interesting, we could make a goomod with loads of custom sounds according to the selected languages. I wonder if this could work with other file extensions...

Did he? I didn't check, so maybe.

I don't think the language thing would work for other files, since the debug log only mentions OGGs. Then again, who knows? But lets keep this discussion in the other thread.

Ah, actually, it was probably someone else on another thread who tried reinstalling.

Guys I think the problem is my average FPS. Mine is only 24 whereas yours is 371 and I get 174 on my PC. So the question is that how can I increase the FPS?

I didn't even notice that. To increase your FPS, close any unnecessary programs while playing World Of Goo, pretty much free up as much CPU as you can. Other than that the only thing that will improve it is upgrading your PC hardware.

However, I used to play and mod WoG on a pretty old PC, and although I never debugged it I'm sure my FPS was rather low. So I'm not sure if it's the problem.

Could be that an antivirus program or something is running in the background also, slowing the game down. Is your computer slow in general?

It is really strange that you're getting such low FPS. World of Goo will usually run on pretty old or low-end hardware just fine, from my experience...

Hit CTRL-Shift-ESC to get Task Manager, then from there open Resource Monitor. That'll show you what's clogging it up.

I tried disabling the antivirus. But nothing changed. As you know it's a tablet PC and cannot be upgraded in any way. I'm getting MAD at this ;<

Yeah, it sounds really frustrating. Hopefully we'll figure it out soon.
