If you have trouble running the game, look here first

- Make sure you have Media Player installed as Windows feature (no longer required)
- If you're running an old demo version, try running as admin

Wow Vitriol. (hehe... in this case the the name suits). I think you could have taken this to Dejan's attention a little more lightly. That wall of text is a big superior prose ♥♥♥♥ on Dejan's work/passion/time. This is 4 years labour. Frankly I'm grateful and I'm not going to spit chips at his work. Yes it is preferable that ms media player is NOT neccesary but I dont think its time to call this guy a hack programmer.

I can't help but agree with Vitriol, even the negative tone. Media Player is one of the first things to go when I configure Windows after an installation. This same problem occurred with A.R.E.S., but the dependency was eventually patched out, I think. In either case, I can't play this game until it isn't dependent on WMP--you'd have to be talking about HL3 for me to even consider reinstalling what is bloated crapware (WMP), at best.

I have to agree with Mr. V. his points are valid and the tone implied is actually up to the person who reads it.

Let's remember, written word is subject to the frame of mind of the reader, regardless of the writer's intention.

I join the crowed of people how would like to see the WMP dependency gone.

But i can understand if its a low priority thing that get fixed latter.
But on the other hand it may be better to rewrite the problematic code now then alter were the gaem would be bigger and more changes would be needed.

I'm still completely unable to run this game, though I should very much like to. Any official word on fixing this?

[GrimmSeraph]

I'd just like to take a moment to echo some of the previous posters.

Apparently there was a patch to remove the game's reliance on Windows Media Player, but the game is still doing the whole ' 'TimeLapse' such-and-such has encountered an error and needs to close' that was mainly caused by not having the aforementioned media player.

[Babarix]

If i understand his post right then he didnt't publish a patch with the changes yet. He jsut reportet what he changed in development so far. The current version should still be:
Sep 23 2013, 3:25pm - Alpha VERSION: 0.1.9.1

Hey guys, here's an update on what's been happening since the Steam release.
It will be a while longer before a new version is ready, sorry.

...
- Changes
- Removed Media Player requirement by popular demand (you will no longer have to have media player windows feature installed in the next version of the game)

Cheers. Looking forward to the next release.

when does the mediaplayer ? be replaced ..i hate him and i hate him more when i cant play this GAME :(

[Babarix]

Replace it yourself. Just intall free alternatives like Winamp or Clementine.

[Littlemama]

thats not funny ...deliver the update 4 month should be enough gggrrrr
and babarix get lost because this game runs only with wmp and thats not a good choice

[Babarix]

sry thought you mean the WMP in general not in the game dependency. And i guess we can just wait for the next patch.

[cyberarmy]

I have WMP as a feature and also got both framework 4.0 thingies.
Still getting error when I try to run the game. Played the first demo version without any problems on my crappy lap top before but cannot play this steam version on my gaming rig T_T
Im welcoming any ideas!

[Littlemama]

next time i wait before buying ... my error

[Sir Pencil]

Do we have an ETA on when the WMP dependencies will be removed?
