Start-up problem

I bought this game recently and I can't run it on my PC. A window opens for a split second and closes instantly. Do you have any idea what's causing my problem? Please help me, this game looks so cool...

Hi there, that's a frustrating problem. I'm not sure why it's doing that. Which operating system are you using?

I'm on a ASUS laptop. I don't know what you need to figure out what my problem is, so here are the specifics of my system.

Thanks for that, I'm also testing on Windows 10.

Are you running from the itch.io launcher or did you extract the zip file and run the vektor.exe file? If you're running it from inside the zip file it might not work.

I downloaded it manually and extracted it from the zip file, so the problem isn't there.

Also, avast tried to quarantine the game's exe.

I'm running out of ideas I'm afraid =( would you be able to run it from the command prompt? It may log a useful error message as to why it's not starting.

With the new version you uploaded, I get this error message. It seems that the game can't open one of the audio files.

And the techdemo works, also.

Okay, I get what happened. This is simply because the game was installed in a folder called "Jeux indés". The problem was caused by the letter "é". I think that the program did not understand this character correctly and didn't start correctly.

Oh Thanks so much! That explains it, I'll have to do some work to ensure it works with non-ascii paths. Sorry about that!
