I keep getting this error whenever I try to start up evidyon, it then says check debug log for more info, then can't find it and open a blank text document. Any ideas on how to fix this? I'm running on a new computer at home which doesn't get used much so I could be missing some obvious basic program (like how I had to dl Dirextx a minute ago :p). Any help would be most appreciated.

Hrm...that is really odd. Do you run Vista? Do you have any strange settings like making all files in Program Files read-only? Try making sure the Evidyon folder is completely read/write accessible.

Yep, vista home premium. All files are read/write accessible as well. Frick

Ugh...I hate Vista. I'll look into it...

Its not vista. Re-run the latest full installer and install into a new folder, problem should be fixed.

Did so and, while it didn't work fully, the debug did at least. What came up was:

...which I hope someone here understands

Urg! Your computer isn't good enough to support hardware blending, but somehow it's not starting up in software mode. I'm adding a new flag in the config file for you (next update) called "ForceSoftwareMode". You should set it to 1 and the game should work.

Sweet Thanks Karl.

same problem here too.

Aside from the guy with graphics card error, are others absolutely sure you're running Evidyon.exe from its root folder that contains the .gme file, config.ini, etc.? I also had this error repeatedly but it was fixed when I did a Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > Uninstall Evidyon > Install 1.4.0 Full Download > Run Evidyon.exe from root folder.

Hope that works for others having this problem!

no

im having the same problem

Try setting the "force software mode" flag in the config.ini from the latest update.

I set it to 1, and i still get this

Huh...well that's odd. ARrrgh....!!!

It runs fine on my laptop with vista. I get that error on my pc with vista.
