Can't launch game

I can't launch the game today. I switched back to the previous version and can't even launch that.

Anything happening? Does the console windows open and closes? Does the windows process start? Do you use itch io client?

I've noticed there is an issue with itch client where that could happen, you can fix it by right clicking the game and reinstalling it (It will download just a few missing files).

Yes, I've made the same observations. Reinstalling helped.

I can't launch the game, I've tried re-installing, unistalling and installing it manually, i even accidently bought the game twice yesterday because I had the same problem (buying the game again did fix the issue somehow though). 

Does anything happen, console window opens, crash report shows? There might be something relevant inside "logs/errors.log".

nothing happens, the client says "running" then it jsut stops and says "launch" again

Anything in logs/errors.log?

oh....apparently my headphones have to be on for the game to run

without my headphoes powered on, logs has this [11:38:32] [error] Mix_init error: WASAPI can't find requested audio endpoint: Element not found.

so i turned on my headphones and voila, the game runs

Well that's a first. Could you tell me what kind of headphones are you using so I can try to investigate?

uh, Sony bluetooth headphones the model is MDR-1RBT

Thanks, sorry for the issues.

Game launches to a white screen which closes after 1 second. Task manager has a sub-task under the itch.io app called 'Can't launch game - bugs & issues'.

Reinstalling fixed it.

I haven't been able to lauch the game since last night. I tried reinstalling it, and uninstalling then installing it again and it still wont work.

I kinda wanted to play an game named "Do NOT Take This Cat Home" but when i try to open the game, it just does not work.

i guess its just my pc or is there something i dont know about itch io?

I made a game and a comic but when I try to play it, it doesn't show anything, like it's just blank
