A couple of questions:
What OS are you using?
Do you have a Firewall?
If yes, what Firewall do you have?
Do other programs work?
Try checking your stick for file system errors.
Or maybe the firewall is blocking it.

tested on xp/vista
yes, firewall doesn't do something stupid
I can start it by invoking the batch file in the app/assaultcube directory
no errors
yep much programs are running in the meantime, shutting them down doesn't help
weird.
You shouldn't be starting it using the batch file as this will make it save its settings on your local machine.
Unfortunately, I am pretty lost here as to what may be causing the issue. We have lots of people who use it successfully on Windows.
Is there anything special with your machine? Or your graphics (card, screen or resolution)?
But if it runs if you run the batch file your graphics aren't the problem

Works fine for me on Win XP.
lol, then I am really the problem
well, I found the problem.
when portable file associater is running assaultcube doesn't launch ????
closing portable file associater solves the problem
can anyone please explain how this is possible?
Just tested myself as I use PFA, but it launched just fine for me.
Maybe you have an obscure or nonsense file association like associating DOS batch files with GIMP or something like that
Associating batch files with GIMP, that was a good one.
lol, Haven't got batch with gimp associated XD but with something else
removed that association but still, it isn't working.
I have this vbs script running:
Dim ws Set ws = WScript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell") ws.Run("PortableFileAssociator.exe" & " " & "add_gui") set service = GetObject ("winmgmts:") dim paRunning paRunning=true do WScript.Sleep 2000 paRunning=false for each Process in Service.InstancesOf ("Win32_Process") If Process.Name = "PortableAppsPlatform.exe" then paRunning=true End If next loop until parunning = false ws.Run("PortableFileAssociator.exe" & " " & "exit") Set ws = Nothingis this the problem?

(thanks mod :))
I checked all my associations and one of the options is to open batch files with notepad++
it is an option and not the default selected one but deleting that association fixed the problem
If you're using PFA to set BAT associations, you need to make sure you copy the host associations for BAT files. Also either set PFA to (No Default) or select Host Precedence.
Maybe GIMP was a bit too obscure but I was half way there.
