Yay,

I finally found the problem: Modern antivirus blocks self-created programs. So solution was to shut down Avast (or make some folders exceptions).

Now both code::blocks and AGS work again.

Thanks all for replies.


Edit: Now I feel a bit embarrased. I noticed this solution was succested already before. I somehow overlooked it.

I appriciate your effort, I have a feeling tho that this puzzle is meant to be solved by me without a walktrough.

Weird tho that I happen to have exactly same problem with codeblocks/c++ too. I dont know if those could be linked somehow. Cant investigate it now because its not my computer whitch has this problem and Im back home now.

Glad if you can figure something out.

Thanx Wizard,

I tried if other ags games would work and they do (at least this Scenario 5B), also compiling works so I dont see the problem here. Also tried to change to Direct3D 9 but that didnt help alone.
Then I tried to install D9 but it wont let install it to windows 10 so I googled about it. Common fix seems to be to install only these user-end runtime libraries, and I was already excited that it would fix it but it didnt. I try to figure out something else. Its a bit frustrating to have good game idea but not able to work on it.

[Does AGS use some other programs that I should maybe update or reinstall?]

I said miscorrectly that it crashes when trying to run from exe, all it really does is that cursor stucks to loading circle icon and nothing happens and it leaves program hiddenly running somewhere background, so it doesnt create dump file. Only if you run it from editor it crashes the editor.

All settings are default: DirectDraw 5, 320x200 (tried others too), 16-bit highcolor

Also compiled setup acts same way and doesnt open.

Does AGS use some other programs that I should maybe update or reinstall?

Computer Im using is pretty new acer laptop. Updated the free windows update from 8 to 10 couple months ago. Havent really used AGS for a long time.

Intel Core i3 4005U
Intel HD Graphics 4400 256mb dynamic video memory

I try to figure this out tomorrow, now I feel a bit tired and frustrated.

You should really provide more info, like what version you're using.

Newest offical. 3.3.4

Anyway, that seems a lot like a reported problem, try checking your anti-virus software and searching the technical forum

Do you mean "Bug and suggestion tracker" forum? There is a few topics about this but those are unreplied.

No, its the basic "Program stopped working". When you try to run it again, you cant because its still running in somewhere background and you need to boot.

Hi,

I have this problem when compiling the game. When you try to run exe it crashes the game. If you try to run it from editor, it crashes the editor too.

Never had this problem before and I dont remember changing anything. I dont remember if I have tried AGS with win 10 before tho.

Reinstalling didnt help.
