Game not launching

[happykellsfriends]

Hello,

I have installed "Tiny" and every beta since. However, since I installed the 1261.1 beta, my game will not launch. It is stuck on the game startup ("loading") screen.

Can we see the Exception log and any relevant entries from the Event Viewer ?

I have reverted to build 1243.3, verified that the program was working as normal, then reinstalled 1263.1, and have encountered the issue again

Weird. Did the launcher show a warning message that you should close certain programs first? If it did, did you close them? Just asking, because there are people who ignore this warning message.

[happykellsfriends]

Hi gizzmoe,

No such message appeared.

I would update the GPU driver, it is worth a try. Maybe, just maybe, the devs have made recent changes to the graphics code that for whatever reason your current GPU driver doesn't like. Such things happen.

[happykellsfriends]

Hello again gizzmoe, thank you very much for your help. Unfortunately, I have updated my graphics driver and the issue persists.

[Gizzmoe]

Damn... Perhaps delete command.ini, it's in the config folder.

One thing to make sure of thats more important than drivers and such is make sure you have all the prerequisites installed...DX9 and dot.net. Sometimes if you don't install them properly, the impact doesn't show up until later.

Can you please try running the game as administrator?

If you're on the Steam version you may have to right click the launcher.exe AND the Command.exe go to Compatability and check the box that says "Run this program as administrator".

Please let me know if that solves the issue for you.

[happykellsfriends]

Hello easy301, I am running the game as administrator, unfortunately to no avail.

I have reverted back to build 1260.1, which appears to be the newest build that works for me.

Have you tried the things thewood1 mentioned?

[happykellsfriends]

Hi again, sorry thewood1.
I have reinstalled .net and DX9, but unfortunately I still have this issue.
Thank you all for your help.

Hello, how did you update your game ?

In the folder of your game, check the presence of the folder 'Arcs' in the folder 'Symbols'.
This was added in Build 1260.1 , when your problem have started

Hi TyphoonFr,
I manually placed these folders in my game files (they were indeed missing) and now my game is working!!! Thank you you French genius!
Thanks to everyone for your help

So this looks like the some of the files for the double flame capability are in one beta release, but not in the last one. So if you don't install each beta release after a certain point, a Steam player will have this issue. Is that a good summary? Just trying to follow the logic.

CMO didn't start because he didn't have Time_DoubleFlame.png in the Bar folder, it is in the 1261.1 UpdatePack, so it looks more like either the OP didn't unpack the UpdatePack correctly or that an AV software did something during the unpacking of the archive.

This can happen when you don't copy all the files but only the most recent ones based on the modification date, but there was a catch this time, the file 'Symbols' looks old ... .

And as we could see that is an unrealiable method and thus shouldn't be done
