Editor won't start on Win 10 (FIXED)

[Shando]

Hi All,

Finally managed to update to Win 10 c/w WiFi

Unfortunately, I have now lost Skyline

Basically, I click on the Skyline exe and nothing happens. The _TechSupport.txt is blank (well, it has the "MAIN START" header, but that's all).

Skyline did work once (one of the first things I tested when I finally got Win 10 working), and the only things I've done, apart from a few cosmetic changes, is install "Classic Start Menu" and install an *unsigned* webcam driver.

I have had Task Manager running, and Skyline briefly (i.e. less than a second) pops up in there, but then disappears.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Try removing the skyline.cfg and delete the 2 resource files and try to boot again.

Is this the latest v0.9.6?

[Shando]

Hi SP,

Still doesn't work, and yes, it's the latest version

This worries me...I was thinking about upgrading to 10 this weekend...

[SolarPortal]

Hmmm. try and reinstall skyline just in case of corruption.i now have windows 10 and skyline is running, but there are a couple of OS related bugs, perhaps yours is another one. All I do know is that skyline is windows 10 compatible.

Maybe try and run a compatibility mode or run as admin...
Have you rebooted. Windows 10 required several restarts in order to become stable for me and star fire.

Note: We will get to the bottom of this with you, but I will have have to leave at 10 this morning for a few hours so I may not respond for a while.

Edit: also check all your dependecies

A reinstall should do the job the problem with a update and not a clean install is it sometimes messes up registry files and even dependencies.

@Shando lol, not really a sports fan myself, but funny none the less haha I hope the reinstall helps

@Tattie, yes good point

On the topic of win10 and skyline, I ask also having some issues, I have re downloaded the skyline commercial pack and it's fully downloaaaded but when I try and run the unpacker it crashes on me within a few seconds even if I haven't clicked install/go yet, any ideas here.

nice pickup, working a treat now, will probably be the same for most amd users

[SolarPortal]

Nice shando that was a great find.
@AuShadow, I am happy you are able to install again.

my skyline refuses to start up on my win10 computer now, was working fine yesterday but today I cant get it to start up.. have restarted pc, tried admin rights etc and troubleshooter, all I get is a incompatible with win10 message from that.
did they release a minor update to win10 lastnight does any1 know of?. I cant for the life of me understand why yesterday it worked and now it don't, I have not changed anything that I can think of..

edit:- seems windows did indeed update at 7am odd this morning while I was asleep.. not cool ;/
4 updates marked from 6th-7th 3 defender definitions and 1 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 for x64-based Systems

[SolarPortal]

Sent you a pm but I will check to see if it runs on my computer later on

[SolarPortal]

ok, just updated to latest updates of windows 10 and skyline is still running

[TattieBoJangle]

Mines is also ok

[StarFire]

Both of the studio systems are now running latest patch and working fine. Looks like something else is amiss
LA1, SP will get you running

[lordalmighty1]

ok I'm thinking uninstall, but wont do that yet.

here is a screenshot of task manager.
it takes about 5 seconds for skyline to build upto the shown amount of usage before it auto closes itself.


all I get from the trouble shooter is skyline is not windows 10 compatible.

[SolarPortal]

tomorrow i can help guide you through cleaning the registry for skyline but there are posts online in our forums already showing how if you want to take a look

[lordalmighty1]

I got this when trying to re-input the serial after tattie walked me through the regedit thingy.

[lordalmighty1]

ok, after some time with tattie walking me through the regedit and not being any use for fixing the issue I have uninstalled deleted and redownloaded skyline etc from scratch. everything now works and is running fine .
no idea why what or how it all happened but I'm back to being able to use the software lol. thanks tattie for the help m8, and star/sp also

[TattieBoJangle]

When in doubt backup and reinstall works 99% of the time it was a strange one mind you it was as if something was blocking it from running but we ruled that out by turning everything off lol anyway glad you are back up and running.

[StarFire]

So pleased you are back up and running LA Phew

Well done Tatty + Thanks for helping
