   I'm using Vista. I start up the game and it runs fine, but when I finish entering the name for my MMORPG and I press the enter key, the game crashes. I'd really like to play. Help?

   I'm just guessing what might help trevor fix this, so far I haven't seen that bug before.

   1. Sure you have the latest version? (1.0.16)
   2. Try re-downloading it, maybe it broke at some point in the download.
   3. If all else fails, copy-paste the stdout.txt file and beg trevor to fix it. :3

   Alright, a couple of updates.

   It crashes also when I attempt to apply a change in the options.

   I do have 1.0.16.
   I re-downloaded it, it crashed similarly.
   Here's stdout:

   Okay. I'm improving that error handling in the next version. :)

   But with that said.. the "2" return value is ENOENT, which translated from C-speak to english, is complaining that a directory doesn't exist.

   This probably means that you don't have a Data directory in the same directory with the game executable, or that there's no "Preferences" directory inside that Data directory.

   In the past, we've seen this happen because someone's unzip program just dumped all the game's files inside a single directory, rather than obey the directories specified in the zipfile. We've also seen it happen because some unzip programs don't create empty directories (such as the Preferences directory) even if they are specified in the zipfile.

   Can you check whether one of these cases applies to you?

   When I open "Data", I see another folder titled "MMORPG", and inside that folder are a variety of .cvec files, one media file, and a .txt file titled "Credits."

   Yeah, your zip program isn't creating all the directories specified by the zip file. I'll make the next build of the game handle that situation more nicely. For now, though, if you create a Saves directory and a Preferences directory both inside the Data directory, the game should run successfully, then.

   Yeah, it works now. I was a bit too engrossed in the game to reply before now, heh. I'm enjoying it. Thanks for your help.
