I'm on Win 7 and downloaded Prog to make some music but when I launch it I get an empty GUI as per the attached screenshot. I've tried to download and install from itch but it is the same and does not run ...

Pls Help

(1 edit)

I'm afraid I don't have access to a Windows 7 machine to test on, just Windows 10, and I don't really know enough about Windows to make any guesses.

Best option is to look for the log files in `AppData\Roaming\Godot\app_userdata\Prog\logs` -- they should look something like:

Godot Engine v3.3.2.stable.official - https://godotengine.org
Godot Engine v3.3.2.stable.official - https://godotengine.org
Godot Engine v3.3.2.stable.official - https://godotengine.org
OpenGL ES 3.0 Renderer: Radeon RX 580 Series (POLARIS10, DRM 3.35.0, 5.4.0-90-generic, LLVM 12.0.0)
OpenGL ES Batching: ON

**ERROR**: Resources still in use at exit (run with --verbose for details).

If there's anything else in there, it might give me a clue as to the problem.

Thanks for your reply ,

I attach the last .log file I found and opened with Notepad++ and found what above , plus other thousand of errors (the log is more than 3,000 lines!). May be the problem is due to the settings of my Video Card ? (I have Nvidia Geforce GTX 550Ti) but I didn't know this has something to do with the music .... Anyway will appreciate any suggestion you can give to let it run 

Thanks ,

BUT NOW IT SEEMS THAT HERE I CANNOT UPLOAD TEXT OR PDF. CAN YOU GIVE ME A MAIL ADDRESS TO SEND ?

Can you send the text to prog at sarrowsmith.plus.com and I’ll see what I can do?

Sorry , it seems that this address is not working (e-mail cannot be sent and if I put it on the Web search it says impossible to contact server.....)

Hi , I found this way : I have uploaded a Video on YouTube with the scrolling Log. You can find at this address :

Hope you can help

Thanks

OK, looks like the problem is a combination of your graphics card (or drivers) not being supported by the 3D visualiser and me not thinking to provide options for running with a lower spec visualiser (or none at all). Pretty sure I can work something out, but it might have to wait until I’ve got time at the weekend.

Having said that, give v15 a go. I’ve quickly shifted some of the visualiser from GPU to CPU. I’m hoping it will run, but expecting performance to be terrible.

Thanks Sarrowsmith ,

You are a genius ! I downloaded version 15 and it runs ! Also the graphic is not bad (but to be honest my interest was only on the generated music which I would use as starting point /inspiration for my compositions. Thus I shall appreciate if there will be the possibility also to switch off the graphic animation (even if it is very nice , but my CPU meter is going toward the red ) . In any case this is already a great result for me and must say that produced music is pleasant .

For now I thank you for your  precious support
Best Regards

Excellent!

I’m hoping I can release a “lite” version without the 3D visualiser this weekend.

That’s weird. You’re not going to get a web response from it, but email should be working.
