Createprocess keeps failing.

When i launch with 7-zip through itch files, it fails. When i launch it with 7-zip through downloads, it fails. What do i do, i just want to play.

Could you explain more in-depth what is happening?

I gotcha!

So i download the game (i doubt it matters where i download, but im downloading it through itch.io app data. downloads gives the same error though.), then i hit (LAUNCH), it opens up the 7-zip file. So i get 7-zip, open it through there (im using the itch.io app instead of web, by the way.) and launch votv. Then, it gives an error stating: "Couldn't start (longfilenameofgamehere)

Createprocess() returned 2". I'll attach a screenshot of the error with this, as long as i can remember.



side note: i really wanna play the update i haven't played the 0.7 update yet

This... probably has something to do with it.

my brain is going to have the big boom i swear

Yeah, I thought that was it. It's a simple mistake others make too, but it's easily fixable. All you need to do is what the person below me said. You have to extract the contents from the Zip folder wherever you like. (I suggest making a folder for the game.) When you extract the contents, THEN you can launch the application and play the game.

Uh-

its not in a zipped folder.

Do i zip it then un-zip?

I'll try that and respond if it works.

MY BRAIN NOT THE DO

You can't just click the EXE in an archive program to run it, as it will only extract the EXE, and not the game's assets.
You need to select everything and click the Extract button, and run the exe in the folder you extracted the 7Zip archive to.

OOOH!! Yeah, i saw that and was like 

"hmm yes, thats completely fine"

I guess it was NOT completely fine.

Thanks a whole bunch man!


I love game communities. most helpful people i've seen.

oh- its not in a zipped folder

i had to do it in 7-zip MY BRAIN DOESN'T LIKE DO THING

MY BRAIN DOESN'T DO THE THING IT NEED

Earlier, you said it wasn't in a zip folder. Did you already extract it, or do you not own 7zip? If you don't, you need to install 7zip in order to download the game's content properly.

I have 7-zip, but i never extracted it? I dont know.

This is all just a confusing mess.

Epic, it doesn't work on web.

Hmm. Strange. It's difficult for me to figure out what's going on without seeing a step-by-step, but I think you kind of did already. I just don't think it's enough. I'll have to look into it more.

Thank you so much for helping, by the way.
