But there was no update since weeks. Is the blackness from the default Windows wallpaper? Or does it go away when you close it?

the blackness does not go away when wallpaper engine closes

also i get c00d512 error (or somthing like that i'll write it down next time i see it) on like 50% of the wallpapers.

im presently removing everything from my
"/Steam/steamapps/workshop/content/431960" folder to a backup zipfile (18gb!)

And i've told steam to "Verify files" at wich ponit it started re-downloading all 18gb.
so maybe when its done i wont keep getting that c00d5?? error. if i do, then i'll post whatever the actual number is here. that probabbly had somthing to do with it. If one selection errors it could consivably leave trailing errors.... maybe?

1> Everythings removed from "/Steam/steamapps/workshop/content/431960"

2> have not verified yet, started up wallpaper engine and all but the default wallpapers have [ ERROR! ] in each box. each one of thoes [ ERROR! ] boxes is a subscribed wallpaper. no way to update them all from here, so i'll go try Verify now.

3 > Shutting down Wallpaper engine again.

4 > Verifing now. Verify seems to be redownloading all subscribed wallpapers as expected. (Yay! *\o/*) it'll be a long wait 18+gb.

5 > [[[[[[[ ill edit here later and bump-thread if the no-screens problem or the c00d5?? problem persist ]]]]]]]]

Did you get the c00d512 Windows error before or is it new? If it's new then there was possibly an automated Windows update that changed drivers or some Windows files.

The red error boxes are there because the files were removed, yes, Steam thinks the files are still there so it shows these errors.

Can you try a stock wallpaper like the 3D car and see if that works?

Do you know what changed on the PC? The last update that I released is almost a month old.

as soon as my wallpapers all download i'll give it all a go im not risking the crash or failure to fullydownload content by running wallpaper engine without its full compliment of materials i've selected. its been a few hours and im 20% done downloading so you'll hear more about my testing tomarrow.

c00d5212 is the error on many many of my wallpapers.
for example:
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=916292385
and
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=861875736
and
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=882980844

what is this error why does it persist?
many of my wallpapers post this error on the system tray when they try to start.
i no longer have the black only screen issue, but error c00d5212 repeats on 50% of all wallpapers, and prevents me form viewing those allpapers with the c00d5212 error.

please help!

Which version of Windows do you have? Can you try this one and see if you also get c00d5212: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=831595366

Okay, are you sure that these have worked before at all? Or have they been always causing that Windows error?

It looks like these are above 1080p, which isn't supported by the video decoder in Windows 7, so it seems strange that they worked at first and then didn't work.

no those never worked at all and all the ones giving me error c00d5212 never worked at all. i just thought they might have something to do with why i was getting the blank results for 'everything' before.

the blank screen thing seems to have cleared up after i killed explorer.exe and restarted it with process-explorer.

but 50% of my wallpapers all report the c00d5212 error and don't display. if that's a windows 7 issue do you intend to patch it? its rather handycapping this software fairly hard.

i didn't see a "win 10 only" requirement when installing.

I can't patch it I'm afraid because Microsoft has just never implemented it for Windows 7, the issue lies with some system modules of Windows.

The WebM format will allow higher resolutions, because that doesn't use Windows to decode the video, but Chromium instead. Downsampling the videos to 1080p would also be an option to make it play.

No... but it is on the store page like i.e. the requirement of hardware acceleration for the desktop which must be turned on.
ThumpieBunnyEve Aug 11, 2017 @ 3:56pm 
some things were unclear there or eluded to hope where there may be none.

[[without changing my os to windows 10 which i very much do not want for a plathora of reasons]]

Is there something i can set or do or change or an option to select or something to download, that will allow me to see the items that are giving the c00d5212 error? it looks rather ragged to have 50% of the wallpapers broken and erroring with a undescriptive error.
