horusofoz, in the future, you can avoid posting the full log, or post the log in <pre><code></code></pre> tags. Changes to Prefetch, MRU, MUICache and Software\Microsoft can be safely ignored in post cases.

trf197 - October 9, 2008 - 8:47am

When I launch it it displays the splash screen which goes away and then I here some music but nothing else happens. XP-SP3 on EEE-PC 1000H.

Resolution problem?

trf197 - October 9, 2008 - 2:14pm

I've just tried it on a different computer and it opened with no problems - is there a minimum (vertical) resolution for this to work?

If

kai.inouye - October 9, 2008 - 8:34pm

If you don't do full screen it sets it on a "resolution" 1024x* something like that I think. so if you have a small screen then you wont be able to see all of it and I cant seem to resize it...

Nope...

trf197 - October 10, 2008 - 8:34am

...don't see anything. No app in the taskbar. It seems to abort itself - no error message or anything - just the music stops.

trf197

PS The screen res of the EEEPC is 1024 x 600 - could it be set to run not in fullscreen mode by default? Does it remember settings at the moment - i'll try it again after changing the settings on the other computer...

Edit: Tried to open it again on the EEEPC and it opened ok in window mode (painfully slow to run but that's a different issue) so it might be good to have it open windowed by default?

OK so far

sehlat - October 9, 2008 - 3:28pm

Started up full screen, but my saved settings worked through shutdown/restart. Now I gotta figure out how to play the game. Superb graphics is about the only other comment I have right now.

Graphics problem

NateHowe (Homepage) - October 27, 2008 - 12:02am

When I launch this program in a large window (not fullscreen), the first screens come up fine, but when I go to the "new game" option, the options are unreadable and the previous screen is interspersed with the new screen like venetian blinds. This also happens occasionally with the "finances" menu on the right bottom of the window while I am playing. The problem will sometimes correct if I minimize the program window and then restore it.

Otherwise, looking good.

Edit: Forgot to mention this is on an XP PC, running from a portable hard drive, so it's definitely not a drive speed issue.

I don't think it's my graphics card.

NateHowe (Homepage) - October 27, 2008 - 6:26pm

I haven't had any other problems with this graphics card. It's nothing special or unusual - just an out-of-the-box HP Compaq running XP Pro at work. Have a look at these screencaps:

Used WMP a little while before doing the regshot. Dont know why it appeared in the log. Same thing happened with photoshop a couple days previously when doing a regshot it showed an app I had used before opening up regshot.

Thanks a lot for this. I've been playing it at lunch everyday. Sorry I have nothing to add as far as testing, except that I've been playing it a lot and haven't had any issues with it at all.

thanks

Lincity-NG only gave the portable splash screen and nothing else. Windows XP sp2 with admin rights. No errors and no tasks in task manager.

Can you install Lincity-NG

Can you install Lincity-NG locally on your computer? I was wondering if that works locally.

This is likely something locked down by your companies IT department. Are you able to attempt opening the game on another pc to determine if it is an issue isolated to the work machine or if it is the app itself. As ad hoc as it may sound, performing a fresh install has had innumerable positive results in all types of software so please try this also and let us know how things go. Good luck:-)
