Hello. I am trying to get this game to work on my computer but it isn't working. I am on windows 10 on a rather old Dell. When I click on it, it buffers, stops, and then buffers again. Running it in compatibility mode on windows 8 will cause it to look like it does below:

I would appreciate any help on this, any at all. The game runs on a different computer which I believe has a similar (not the same) model and I got through the tutorial. I think this game is absolutely BRILLIANT and can't wait to play.

Make sure that the folder structure looks like this

roody2d_0.9.8_install_folder/roody2d.exe
roody2d_0.9.8_install_folder/libgcc_s_seh-1.dll
roody2d_0.9.8_install_folder/openal32.dll
roody2d_0.9.8_install_folder/libstdc++-6.dll
roody2d_0.9.8_install_folder/libwinpthread-1.dll
roody2d_0.9.8_install_folder/content/...
roody2d_0.9.8_install_folder/mat/...
roody2d_0.9.8_install_folder/save_templates/...
roody2d_0.9.8_install_folder/localization...
roody2d_0.9.8_install_folder/structures...

(doesn't have to be called "roody2d_0.9.8_install_folder")

If it doesn't, re-install

then while looking inside roody2d_0.9.8_install_folder, double click on roody2d.exe and make sure that works with textures and everything

then try making shortcuts to roody2d.exe

Demo has a different folder structure, with almost everything inside of "content/"

roody2d_demo_install_folder/roody2d.exe
roody2d_demo_install_folder/openal32.dll
roody2d_demo_install_folder/...
roody2d_demo_install_folder/content/...
roody2d_demo_install_folder/content/mat/...

It doesn't seem to work. I tried everything. I still love the idea behind your game.

Does the demo on Steam work?

CelineCherry1 year ago

Sadly no, not that either. It has a similar problem where pressing play just says it's running for a couple seconds with no window before returning to the play button.

When you unzipped the itch demo version, is it in a read-only folder?

CelineCherry1 year ago

No. I should mention I run a computer incapable of using openGL 3. Does your game require that?

redinator20001 year ago (2 edits)

The game should only require opengl 2.1

I will investigate if it does require 3

Please clarify:

On itch demo 0.2.7, does the game run at all? Does it crash instantly or after a few seconds? Are there just a bunch of white squares, purple and black squares, or do textures load?

On steam demo, does the game run at all? Does it crash instantly or after a few seconds? Are there just a bunch of white squares, purple and black squares, or do textures load?

I detailed what happens on the steam demo in my third comment. 0.2.7 behaves the same as the itch 0.9.8, where it buffers on and off and then stops completely.
