Doesn't Work...Win 10?

[sHakEnBaKe]

Just fired it up but when I select a wallpaper and display it crashes every time. Running windows 10 and plenty of horsepower so not sure what is going on...any help appreciated.

Hey,

Could you tell me which graphics card you are using?

Also if possible, could you look into the directory of the application (Steam\steamapps\common\wallpaper_engine) and see if it created any file that ends with the extension .mdmp? If you could send me that file, it should help me figuring out what's wrong.

For what it's worth I am running on Windows 10 Pro with a 780ti and works without any problems so far. Freezes sometimes changing between different unity wallpapers, but redoing the change unfreezes it.

Didn't see the file you mentioned...nvidia gtx780, i7, 16 gigs of ram, win 10 still no luck

I have the same problem. I also keep getting this popup box that says "Animations of elements and controls inside windows must be enabled to display the live wallpaper. Enable now?" I click OK every single time but it just keeps popping up over and over again.

Same situation every time :(

Problem fixed.

Go to Control Panel -> System and Security -> System -> Advanced system settings (on left side) -> Advanced (the tab at top) -> Click Settings under "Performance" -> Checkmark "Enable controls and elements inside windows" -> Hit Apply, Hit OK -> Sign Out of PC -> Relaunch Program

Thanks, you were faster finding that setting than me, I couldn't remember myself where it was.

That message box was basically meant to let you approve of this change, since I did not want to silently change Windows stuff right now in my code. But my recent changes kinda messed the message box up and made it pop up multiple times, it went unnoticed.

I just pushed another update to the beta branch ( http://steamcommunity.com/app/431960/discussions/2/350544272219415004/ ) which should now just adjust this setting without a message box in case it is not set.

All I did was restart the computer. I run Windows 10 1607 x64

What is the error/issue exactly? It is not related to Windows 10 itself but likely due to a faulty installation or a conflict.

Could you switch to the beta: http://steamcommunity.com/app/431960/discussions/2/350544272219415004/

And then upload the bin/log.txt to www.pastebin.com ? I don't know yet why the freezing happens for some people, but it seems the reports of this issue popped up from one day to another, maybe it is related to the Creator's Update.

im not too sure if this is the right thing but here you go ^_^ https://pastebin.com/rtABMxVd btw really like the program so far keep up the good work

I think the "not responding" issue should be fixed on the beta now.

AFTER INSTALLING THE WALLPAPER ENGINE EXECUTES IT AND DOES NOTHING. Do not load anything
