Possible solution to startup crash (Windows 7 x64)

[Niles Caulder]

So, like seemingly a lot of people I tried to run a Blendo game, only for it to crash on startup. Which is weird, because a few weeks ago they ran fine. My guess is that some Windows update or other screwed things up.

Go to the game's executable's Properties and turn on compatibility mode with WinXP SP3. Worked like a charm for me. You can start the game via Steam after that as normal once the compatibility mode is checked on, you don't need to run it from the folder.
