Title: Problems running DoomRL
Post by: JohanX on August 06, 2011, 08:29

I just DLed the latest DoomRL. I am running Windows 7 (64 bit)

When I try running the doomrl.bat or doomrl.exe files, a window pops up that has a black background, I see some white text flash in the window, then it is completely black.

I tried the same thing in a cmd window, with the same results.

Here is the contents of the log file:

Code: [Select]

--- Logging start : 8/6/2011 10:22:03 ---

<TTextModeInput/0/0> Initialized.
<TTextModeInput/0/0> Terminal Keyboard system ready.
<TFMODSound/0/0> Initialized.
<TTextModeMessages/0/0> Initialized.

Any suggestions?

I'm running DoomRL on Windows 7 64 bit just fine, so it's probably not that that's causing the problem.

is there an error.log file?

I do not see an error.log file in the directory that DoomRL is located.

Try re-downloading the package. There is always a chance the download got corrupted somehow (I believe this happened once in the past - someone downloaded DoomRL, unpacked it fine but it didn't work. Then he redownloaded and that one worked fine.)

Re-downloading fixed the problem. Should have thought of that myself...

Thanks!
