C++ Run Time Error

[Blick Fang]

Hi

Everytime I try to launch anything under Game and Demos, I get this error. Thanks for looking.

Welcome to the forum.

Hmm, this is strange, have you tried:

* Install the vs2015 x86 redist - i don't think this is required, but is the process i used: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/downloa ... x?id=48145
* Install the vs2013 x86 & x64 redist: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/downloa ... x?id=40784

Please can you send the log files:

Skyline.log
Skyline_TechSupport.txt

from the "C:\Aurasoft UK\Skyline Game Engine\Bin\Win(XX)" (replace the (XX) with the version you of skyline you ran, if 64bit version of skyline, the Win64)
These logs should help to ascertain where the fault is and hopefully provide you a much needed fi

[Blick Fang]

the vs2015 x86 redist might be the issue as it works on a different computer with that installed. I will try that when I get home.

Which OS are you using

Windows 7 home Premium SP1

I tried the links you provided and installed the software. I had to re-install skyline because there was a DLL missing. When I re-installed Skyline, it asked for the MS VB C++ 2013 version. I uninstalled the 2015 (and all other versions) and installed 2013. I still get the same error.

[SolarPortal]

i shall respond tomorrow hopefully with an answer.. it sounds like something we have encountered before, but we are currently on break from work

[Blick Fang]

Break!?

C'mon!




Seriously, here is what I have at work and it works.

I am going to double check my home settings

I loaded the truck and terrain scene with no issues. I am running DX 11

Hi

Deleting .CFG did not help. I am using an AMD Radeon HD6530 display adapter. I know; it's a P.O.S. I am going to update my driver and see if that might help. But I think you're going to tell me it's the display card?

[SolarPortal]

thats a shame it didnt help... could you send the crashed out skyline logs with the dx11 trick... just want to make sure it isnt just a gl issue.

on the contrary, even though the card may be slow... according to specs on it, it has the necessary requirements to run skyline.
Support DX11 11.2 and opengl 4.4.

The shader errors are a possible cause of an older card not supporting the modern shader features.

From what i am getting, you are able to render something, but when its something specific it fails...

To really help show what problem you are facing, would you be able to record a video of boot to crash, and then post the applicable logs after. This would give us the best ability to help fix your problem

Again, thank you for your patience and we will do everything we can to help you.

The extension mp4 is not allowed.

[SolarPortal]

mp4 is not allowed due to the licensing at play with the mpeg format..
for video we use the open source ogg and vorbis format.. there are a couple converters out there to convert your mp4 to ogg
