HELP!!!!1

Try deleting Duffers.ini and DuffersUser.ini and restarting.

I've got pretty much the same problem with different hardware. This is also before and after I tried deleting the .ini s mentioned above

Can you confirm for me that there is the following in your Duffers.ini under the [Engine.Engine] section?

Did you have the single player beta before this? Some ppl have had success deleting the old folder and reinstalling Duffers fresh from the multi alpha.

Can you post your [Core.System] section? I'm just trying to see if all the ini settings are correct.

Are you patched to 3204?

Yes, I'm patched to 3204 and play several other mods successfully. BTW I had the same problem with single player and yes, when it came time to install multiplayer I made sure that the single player folder and contents were completely removed first.

Mind you, this is from the ini that was automagically regenerated after I deleted the original one.

Hmmm...

Don't know if it means anything to you but here is the error code I get when trying to start from the included .bat file:

And here is the error code I get when trying to start from the mod menu:

This is strange... your ini looks like it was generated with the old default.ini (singleplayer beta version). Here's what that section should look like:

I copied and pasted your core.system and it works!

Just out of curiosity I deleted everything again and reinstalled from a new installer from fileshack. Worked out of the box that time! How strange.

Anyway, nice work so far! Now to get it running under linux
