Game not launching issues - please post here

[Tikipod]

Hi, if you are having issues launching the game, please post in this thread and we will try to resolve any problems as soon as possible, thank you.

[Game? More like Grift.]

system.invalidoperationexception: song playback failed stack trace after that but I can't copy and paste from the dialog and 70% of it is in an Asian character set.

Hi - that sounds like you do not have Windows Media player installed? Please check that first as it is a requirement.

Uh, nothing said I needed that garbage on my system, can I get a refund then?

Hi, the current WMP dependency is noted in the store description, but we appreciate not everyone wants to have it installed.

So we are now looking into a solution to play back ordinary ogg vorbis files from c# - and so remove the WMP dependency. Apologies for any inconvenience in the meantime.

I'm in the same boat as The Menstrual Persuader (that name makes me want to puke). I understand that it is too early to tell, but how long do you think it will take to "fix" this?

Hi, apologies to you too - it may take at least 2 days tops, as we need to test the fix once its done. I will update in these forums and remove the dependency notice from the store page once we have a new version ready.

thanks for your patience, I can appreciate it must be frustrating.

Thanks for the reply Tikipod. Please don't apologize. If it's in the store description we can only blame ourselves.

I've been waiting for this game since I first saw it on greenlight...a couple of days more of waiting isn't going to kill me :)

as stated in a previous post, i can't launch the game, tried with administrator mode and compatibility mode, checked that it is not blocked by anti-virus or firewall, used the steam launcher and the .exe file

My system is: AMD FX 4100 3.61GHz
4GB RAM
Windows 7 Professional x64
MSI Radeon R9 280X 3GB

Hi, could you check if you have windows media player installed? The game won't currently run unless it is installed (we are working on a fix for that issue, that we hope to have ready tommorrow now).

Hi!

I just got the message "System.InvalidOperationException: An invalid action occured when trying to query the keyboard state. The result was 0." following by some obscure korean / chinese symbols and "bei (at) Microsoft.XNA.Framework.Input.Keyboard.GetState (PlayerIndex playerIndex)" as well as "bei (at) Microsoft.XNA.Framework.Input.Keyboard.GetState ()"

I'm currently using an Xbox 360 wired controller - Maybe that's an issue? Because i'm quite sure that XNA is up to date on my system.

Would be great if you had an idea what to do.

Cheers

Hi - do you have a keyboard plugged in? I use a wired 360 controller, so that shouldn't be an issue.

Hi - a new version of the game has been uploaded that no longer requires Windows Media Player to be installed, please update and try the game.

[Slimey-One]

After that update, it's not working at all, for me at least.
My antivirus wasn't even sure if it was safe to start the game for some reason. I turned off the antivirus just in case and still nothing happens when I attempt to start it.
I've also reinstalled the game.
