OpenXcom.exe crashes after launch
« on: March 03, 2015, 10:53:54 am »
After opening OpenXcom.exe, application crashes immediately without any kind of pop up.
Log from Documents :

For instalation i used data copied from original CD (version 1.4, BUT game is translated in Czech, could it be the problem?).
Used PC: Notebook Lenovo IdeaPad Y50-70
Used OS: Win 7 Ultimate 64bit

Not shure if i understand you.
I used OpenXcom installer. When it asked for original XCOM files i pointed it on folder i have created on my desktop.
That folder contained this stuff (basically what the CD contained copied to folder on my desktop):
GAME_1 to GAME_10
GEODATA
GEOGRAPH
MAPS
MISSDAT
ROUTES
SOUND
TERRAIN
UFO2EXE
UFOEXE
UFOGRAPH
UFOINTRO
UNITS
DOS4GW.EXE
INTRO.EXE
README.TXT
SETUP.EXE
UFO.BAT

Also forgot to mention i did this on my desktop PC aswell like this (Win 7 64bit too) and it worked.

when you download openxcom there is an executable and a data folder. you need to copy that data folder content and merge it with data folder from original UFO game.  in the above list you are missing Ruleset and Resources folder for example.

When i downloaded openxcom i got openxcom-v1.0-win.exe. Also that list was only the original xcom files. In the openxcom folder i have that + stuff that you mentioned. I tried to download that openxcom ZIP but both Winrar and 7-zip gives me error that its unknown format.

Also i dont think that "yaml-cpp: error at line 0, column 0: bad file" has to do anything with original game files. I think that its more about OpenXcom itself.

EDIT: Ok iam 100% positive its not about game files. Its something with openxcom and my notebook. I copied the whole OpenXcom to my rommates notebook and it launched fine. -.-

I have installed MS Visual C++ 2005/2008/2010/2012/2013

EDIT2: So i downloaded openxcom_git_master_2015_03_03_0153.zip and it launched o.O
