so I have been trying to make a standalone game for testing, but it seems not to run on other machines.(tattie's)..

Have you tried removing the "SkylineSettings.ini" file in the root of the exported game directory?

This is usually the problem for this case.

I got the files from StarFire and then ran it and the game crashed like you say.
I then removed the "SkylineSettings.ini" file and it ran fine

So this is the fix for now

The problem is that your computer settings were stored in the file, which are not the same as everyone elses.
It is supposed to detect these changes and remake them. But it doesn't work all the time as it seems.

Hint: When packaging a game, make sure to remove the generated files such as:

• SkylineSettings.ini
• Skyline_TechSupport.txt
• The data folder that is generated, as this is used in runtime. Not happy with this folder just yet and will improve it.
• cAudioEngineLog.html
• SkylineEXE.log

All you really need for the game is:

• game.exe
• dlls
• plugins.cfg
• desert island_GameInfo.skyINI
• the asset folders etc...

These are required for the game.
