hello i haven't been able to play on the steam version, because the game freezes my entire computer to the point i have to restart!

no error pops up, the sound loops and i am on a laptop that meets the min reqs.

any help would be useful

i used to play it along time ago , before it was on steam.

Can you send us rwr_game.log from %appdata%\Running with rifles? You can make it viewable at e.g. pastebin.com or just send it to me via e-mail at support@modulaatio.com.

hope this helps

i try'd to run it more then once so hopefully its not cluttered

Ok cool, you've got one of these


From what I've gathered, it's becoming a pattern that systems with this chip somehow don't like what Ogre3D does with shadows. You could try playing with shadows turned off, it should be stable that way for you.

If that does help, I'd also want you to try adding safemode_shadows as a command line parameter and then turn shadows on.

In Steam, it goes like this:

hey ummm is there a way to turn shadows off without running the game?

i also freeze just trying to get to the main menu.

also thanks soooo much for the help and ill try to run in shadow safe mode or wutever after i figure out how to run without shadows


safemode_shadows works! thank you so much!

Cool, thanks for trying that out. At least there's a usable workaround to it, but it still boggles my mind what makes it so unstable on AMD APU vs everyone else. Safemode_shadows also doesn't look quite as good as the default shadows, and I think you had to set the shadow bias quite high in the tweak menu to get them to show, of course the bias has been adjusted for the default shadows.. Hmm, need to continue figuring it out what to do about it all.
