Game crashes?

[Kerberos]

Ii have had eye for a few days now and it had been working great until recently. now it just crashes when i start it up. anyone else have this issue?

Please try the following.
Go to the folder steam\SteamApps\common\eye\EYE\resource\vgui\save
Find YourAvatarName.txt (where YourAvatarName is the actual name of your avatar) and edit it with notepad.
I think the file might be empty. So fill it with the following text: PlayerName= YourAvatarName;m_iMyLevel=1;
Once again use your actual avatar name instead of YourAvatarName.
Save the file and run the game I assume it should work.

IT might be due to a corrupted file; so it could be due to a crash or something like that. But you shouldn’t have lost any of your progress.

If it still doesn’t work could you tell me more, so do you use any antivirus and which one? Since it was working, have you change your monitor?

i did what was said and still nothing works :( it goes to the initial loading screen right before the main menu and just stops working. it says something like windows has detected a problem

i also have windows 8 if that would effect anything

[Alien Mc Beal]

Windows 8 shouldn’t be an issue, as it was working before. But I have to investigate a bit more to confirm. Any way you can try to run the game as administrator to see if it changes anything.

First when you validated the files through the Steam interface, did it report any files corrupted?

Secondly, do you use any antivirus and which one. If you do, please be sure eye.exe or/and the entire eye folder are in the exclusion/trusted list depending on the software you use. Also, be sure the game isn’t run in a sandbox mode from your antivirus, if it gets one.

Finally, try the following: go to your save folder (still steam\SteamApps\common\eye\EYE\resource\vgui\save). Make a backup of all the files in another place. Then remove all files except avatarlist.txt, save_french.txt, save_english.txt
Edit avatartlist.txt and remove any entry in it.
Then try to run the game. If it works, it might unfortunately mean that your save have been completely corrupted. You can try to find a backup in the backup folder within the save folder. Do you encounter any crash (from the game or Windows) the last time you successfully ran the game?

it had 7 files corrupted which steam immediatly fixed. i use cpnstant guard as a security system has E.Y.E. listed as trusted, i will try your final piece of advice A.S.A.P. and get back to you soon

Worked for me, thank yo for the solution

[Kerberos]

absolutely nothing has worked, even after searching for different solutions and re-installing the game several times

[Alien Mc Beal]

Please try the following, go to your myDocuments folder, backup and then delete the streumon directory.

Go to Steam\SteamApps\common\EYE\EYE\resource\vgui\save
Backup the content and delete everything in the save folder except avatarlist.txt, save_english.txt, save_french.txt

Open with notepad avatarlist.txt and delete the content of this file.

Save the file and run the game.

It will delete all your saved characters and will allow us to determine if the issue is related to the saves.

still nothing :/

[Alien Mc Beal]

Ok, the good news is the issue is not related with your saves. The bad news is we have to figure what is happening.

Right click on E.Y.E in you Steam library, choose properties and then Set Launch Options add the following commands: –dxlevel 90 –w 1920 –h 1080

I wrote 1920 and 1080 assuming you have a HD monitor. But if you don’t, try to replace these values by the actual width (w) and height (h) of your native resolution.
