Game editor loading the game on one computer but not another? (SOLVED)

[LeChuck]

I've been working on a game for a while now, on one spesific computer. I use Winrar to backup the entire game folder (including AGS 2.72), and I've had to go back to previous versions several times so I know this method should be working great. However, when trying to load the game on two other computers, it fails miserably.


... then I select the game's ac2game.dta file, a few fractions of a second it shows this menu again:



So what I'm asking is why this is happening. If I open it back up on the machine I used to build the game, it will work fine, but on my new one it won't load. What could be causing this? Not the required ogg support on my current pc perhaps? I am all out of ideas.

On the second computer, did you properly extract all the files first?

I'm all of ideas. I get all the folder as well and works perfectly. How come and it doesn't load up? You get an error message or the editor crashes?

KhrisMUC, yup, this error has occured on all other PCs I have tried to run the editor with this game on. However, loading other games I've made previously works fine on all computers, just not this game for some reason. And I'm sure the files are extracted properly, as I have extracted the exact same rar file on my old computer and this new one, where it worked on the old one and not on the new one. So I figure it's got something to do with codecs or some weird stuff, I just dont know what could cause this.

Absolutely nothing happens when I try to load the ac2game.dta file. Within a fraction of a second the load game screen appears again. No error messages at all. Somebody help!

So I found a way to load the game in the editor. I created a new set of game files, THEN I was able to load the game (without closing the editor). This is the only way I'm able to work on my game: Loading another game and then load the game I wanna work on. Go figure.
