Evidyon Pre-Beta Opening This Weekend

[strafe of x2]

lol guys i spent a hell of a long time waitin for it to come and as it was downloading the update i fell asleep on my bed
even when i change the force to 1 instead of 0 i get all black. is it compatibly with windows 7 64 bit?

[daekighn]

I've read through and done everything.. Please explain to me how i did not read?

Vista is really pissing me off, i never had any problems with xp..

*EDIT* I got it to work but my comp decided to restart for updates now its not working again.. It still shows mine as the server being down.

[strafe of x2]

yeah i think the servers must still be down cause i can load it as long as i dont run the launcher. tried it on my brother xp rig and it loaded fine just no server

[daekighn]

yeah hopefully it comes up sometime today =/ really looking forward to playing.

I guess its time to get busy guys gonna have a heck of a time playing, and i hope we all will have great time online.

As y'all can tell, there are a few small problems with the release. Naturally, we're working on getting these problems fixed first of all. I haven't yet talked to Karl this afternoon, but I'll call him in an hour or so to figure out where we're at and let y'all know.

As for the problems themselves:
* As has been said, try setting the ForceSoftwareRendering flag to 1.
* Make sure that you're viewing hidden files (in the "Folder Options" dialogue, I believe), and run the launcher. It may be having trouble overwriting the current file when it downloads a new one. Make sure that after it downloads an update, that it does *not* leave a "~evidyon.exe" file in your directory. If it does, delete the (hidden) "evidyon.exe", and rename "~evidyon.exe" to "evidyon.exe" ; then run "evidyon.exe" directly, instead of using the launcher.

Like I said--I'll post the minute I have more information.

All right, thanks for the hidden file thing Joe, that worked..

As for the server is it down atm?

[Joe M.]

Yeah, Karl's got it down for testing. He says he's found the crash bug, and is working on the other bugs.

[12:25:47 PM] Karl Gluck: so yes the server is down atm, i am going to be updating tonight sometime

Also, we're looking to get a dedicated server soon (ASAP), so the lag will go away.

[marzuku]

testing the game atm, aint as good as the alpha was yet.

[ven]

Can we get an update on whats going on?

[daekighn]

How are you people playing? I've been trying to get it to work forever..

Errors: This file is not a valid win32 application.

Cannot connect to update server..

I no longer get the invalid win32 application error.. I still get the cannot connect to update server though.

[marzuku]

atm the server is doooown, so chillax and wait for the upload with the major bug fixes and then play

[ven]

I think the update server was down? It was doing the same to me but now it works. Still can't get in game though.
