Tremulous 1.2 GPP won't start anymore ;(
« on: March 06, 2011, 05:11:38 pm »
After having a pause of about 6 or less months, I wanted to play the game again... but it won't run :( When I start it, it's just black screen and very very laggy main menu song in the back ground. When I minimize the game, the screen goes normal and the main menu song starts playing normal speed without lags, but when I try to open it up, it does the same thing like before. Last time it ended up in having a BSoD for me. Trem 1.1 runs fine with no problems. Help me, help the granger  :granger:

What OS?  And try removing your autogen.cfg/autoexec.cfg (after backing them up of course).

Re-installed the game completely, nothing was saved. Using Windows XP Service Pack 3.
Also run from a console or terminal if you can an post the results.
Whaaaat?

Instead of copying from console, you can switch out of the game (open the console and alt+tab) and copy the stdout.txt file in the game folder (gotta do it while Tremulous is running since it gets deleted when Tremulous quits)

Ummm... I can't. It's just lagging extremely much, and the only button that repsonds is the Windows "start" menu key (however, it switches to it only after about 12 seconds). Well, I will see if there is a possibility to open the console.

Already did it after I couldn't run the game. I got the BSoD after re-install.
Oh, and I can't see the console as the whole screen is black.

This time did Trem 1.1 ---> Mods ----> GPP
Ended up in having the game crash (not even loading up, just showing a white screen) after closing the game got the trem console pop up.

Having checked, after running tremulous-gpp.exe and having it fail you should see an stderr.txt file appear in the tremulous installation directory, pastebinning its contents might be helpful.

I have no idea what did I do whatsoever, but 1.2 runs again!!! However, a huge performance difference can be seen.
Version ---- fps
1.1 -------- 60-90
1.2 before - 40-60
1.2 now ---- 20-30

Seriously, it seems Trem just runs so choppy now :(
