Hm. I assume you have no mods or new levels active? What operating system are you using?

Also, could you post the contents of the error.log file from the folder you installed into?

Yeah. I have no mods, or custom levels installed. Im using Windows 7, and when I was using the demo nothing went wrong

64-bit or 32-bit system? I've never seen this error before with vanilla install, but it happened once in Another Planet.

64-bit system

Okay. So could you show us the contents of the file C:\Program Files (x86)\WorldOfGoo\error.log? That might say what the problem is.

Wait...where did you get it from? It'll be where I said if it's from 2DBoy.com, but in a different place if it's from a third-party site such as Steam.

I got it directly from 2Dboy.com I can't find error.log though. Ill keep looking

Yeah, I looked up error.log in run, couldn't find anything, maually searched from the start search, no error.log. It makes no sense!

The only thing that comes up when this happens is a black screen, then it says "Worldofgoo.exe has stopped working. Windows is looking for a solution to the problem"

there is an edit button on the bottom of your post
sorry about your game Thenoobtester.

I cant believe I haven't thought of this yet. I will restart my computer!
XD

Not working still D:

Okay, then it might be a strange version. Have you tried running in compatibility mode?

Nah. I'll try that out though
EDIT: Not working, but now I am getting an error.log. Getting somewhere
Here are the contents of the error.log

hello thenoobtester!

I'm not good at solving error
you have to ask the moderator

OK
thanks for the help

Something must be wrong, then, in properties/text.xml.bin, properties/resource.xml.bin, res/fonts/something, res/levels/MapWorldView/something, or res/balls/Distant/something. But if you don't have a clean copy, the only thing I can recommend is to decrypt each one of those bin files in WogFile or GooTool and see if any of them turn into gibberish. Sorry.

Actually, I just got something. Whenever I try to use gootool, it crashes because it says something about config.txt being corrupted. Maybe if I could download a replica of the contents in config.txt, it would start working
and also, in your properties, is there a file called config.txt.old?
this is me when i am desperate

Sure! Here is my version. If necessary, delete config.txt, make a new one on your desktop, nd copy it in.

<!-- IMPORTANT WARNING: If you edit this file, your computer will probably explode. Your friend, the High Resolution Sign Painter -->
<config>
 
	<param name="language" value="en"/>
	<param name="screen_width" value="800"/>
	<param name="screen_height" value="600"/>
	<param name="refreshrate" value="60" />
	<param name="ui_inset" value="10"/>
 
</config>

Not working still. I am going to go back and look up other fixes that work for other people, and see if any of those help. If not, I will see if the gibberish thing happens. BRB

config.txt.old is there for everyone. I'm not 100% sure, but I think that it's the config.txt that was used before the 1.3 patch.

By the way, AP's config.txt doesn't look the same as mine, it's missing the XML header. Try this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?><!-- IMPORTANT WARNING: If you edit this file, your computer will probably explode. Your friend, the High Resolution Sign Painter --><config>
 
	<param name="language" value="en"/>
	<param name="screen_width" value="1280"/>
	<param name="screen_height" value="720"/>
	<param name="refreshrate" value="60"/>
	<param name="ui_inset" value="10"/>
 
</config>

YES! THANK YOU SO MUCH
I literally cannot stop saying yes
yesyesyesyesyes
YES!
EDIT: It reset my profile. I really dont care
YESYESYESYES

Awesome! Congratulations!

Now that I look at it, I'm not sure how mine is working without that header. Aren't all valid XML files supposed to have that?

Dunno. config.txt.old doesn't have the header, so I'm assuming that it would work for a WoG that doesn't have the patch installed, but obviously you do have it installed. Have you tried adding the header to see if it has an effect?

It seems not to. Windows 7 x64, pre-patched from 2DBoy.com.

Strange, I've got the same version of Windows, the only difference is that it's on my external HDD, and that I originally installed it on there on a Windows XP PC, but that shouldn't make a difference. The only thing I can think of is that the pre-patched version is slightly different from the external 1.3 patch.

The 1.3 patch fixes many compatibility issues.
