I bought this game quite a while ago. First I could only play on the map that you could not win, the other map crashed the game. Then an update came out, and then the game blue screens or freezes just from trying to launch the game. I left this alone for a year, waiting for some sort of update to fix the problem, but it's still happening. Can anyone give me a hand? Are there logs I can post?

I have a Windows 7 computer with an AMD graphics card.

Hi Micro,

aww that's not good indeed.
BSOD should be more related to hardware issues than software in this case. Crashes happen here and there (though quite rarely) but it should never go that far that you get a BSOD.

Make sure of the following things:

1) Are your temperatures ok?
2) Do you have the latest GPU drivers installed?
3) Do you have such issues also with other games?

You might also want to disable Post-Processing in the options. If you can't launch the game at all you might want to edit (with notepad for example) the file settings.xml in the folder %appdata%\Running with rifles (copy-paste the location in your explorer) and change the value of <post_processing value="1" /> to <post_processing value="0" />. It already helped a guy who had BSOD, for whatever reason.

If that fails you might want to try running the game with the opengl parameter. For that make a shortcut of the game, right click the shortcut and click properties and in shortcut tab and target field just add the word opengl after the exe.

For the crashlog you can find rwr_game.log and rwr_crashdump.dmp also in %appdata%\Running with rifles

Well oddly enough I don't seem to have that settings file, but I did manage to get the game running by having it run with no antialising or vertical sync.

But yeah I have updated my graphics card and I can start the game at any time and it crashes, and this is the only game I have ever had this problem with. So I know it's not those. Now that I can get int he game, I will see what I can do. Thanks.

Well.... I tried everything you asked, and it just kept crashing either when I tried to start a game or in less then a minute of starting the game.

And I cannot find the logs you are talking about either, but I have found a rwr log just titled "game", and the phrase "Can't assign material _missing_material_ to SubEntity of Ogre/MO10022 because this Material does not exist. Have you forgotten to define it in a .material script?" appears for a LOT of things.

Are you playing the latest version (0.891) ?
The material missing message is nothing critical or important and can be ignored.

Yes I have the latest version. I have downloaded this multiple times throughout the year and it always crashes.

I asked about the latest version because there is no reason that you shouldnt have the folder with the rwr_game.log

Lol silly me, I have the game.txt which I should have realized is the game log. But no crash dump. I'm thinking because it crashed so hard it froze up before it could make one. I DO have to keep resetting my computer after all.

Should I post the game log? It's quite massive.

O I remember this. The forums do not actually support the size of the error logs. I'll split it up I guess.
