Crashing whenever i open doors
« on: January 30, 2012, 03:50:52 PM »
So Ive been trying to play and every couple of doors I open, the game just crashes.

The first time I entered the weapon shop.

The second time I went into the house to the left with the grandma.

Then on the last time I opened the door to the storage room and it crashed.

Anyone have this problem/ have a fix for it? I tried playing it on windowed and fullscreen.

I've heard from one other person saying this somewhere else, that the game has a tendency to crash on screen transitions sometimes. While it doesn't seem to be a widespread problem, it's not just you (unless you're the other person.)

Any information you could provide- system specifications, graphics cards, dxdiag info especially would be greatly appreciated.

Also crashes sporadically here, both on windowed and fullscreen -- unfortunate to know I'm not the only one! Here are my specs, for starters:

Core 2 Duo T7250 @ 2GHz, running Win7 Pro 64-bit, DirectX 11, 4GB RAM
NVidia GeForce 8600M GT, driver ver. 8.17.12.8562 (10/15/11)

When you mention dxdiag info, what are you specifically looking for? It returns no problems on all tests, and the above information is pretty much all it gives...

DirectX 11
NVidia GeForce 8600M GT

First, maybe try installing DirectX 10 instead, this card is too old to properly support 11. At least that's what I think.

Not sure if the boot log would be useful or not but it doesn't hurt to include it.

Could it be the 64 bit Windows?

Doubt it, I run 64 bit without any issues whatsoever

I am encountering this problem as well, it pretty much makes the game unplayable at the moment for me.

Specs:
Intel Core i7 875k
Windows 7 64bit Professional
Radeon HD 6950
8GB ram

Has anyone found any workarounds for the issue yet?  I tried playing in XP compatibility mode and still have the same issue...  I really want to play this game but I can't  :'(

I have a crash too, I tested it a few times and it happens at the same point. In the beginning after exploring all the houses in town, the last house I leave causes a crash. It doesn't seem to matter which house it is, as long as it's the last unexplored house.

My specs:
Intel Core i5 2500k
Windows 7 64-bit
GTX 560Ti
8GB RAM

So it seems as though the common thread is Win7 x64 on Intel CPUs? Though I'm potentially barking up the wrong tree, here.

Anyway, testing tested various modes for stability in the hopes that one of these will would somehow work; I'll be updating this post as I go.

Fullscreen (Use All VRAM) High: △ (didn't even bother testing it all the way, it's soooo slow)
Fullscreen (Use All VRAM) Med: -
Fullscreen (Use All VRAM) Low: -

Fullscreen (Normal VRAM) High: x
Fullscreen (Normal VRAM) Med: -
Fullscreen (Normal VRAM) Low: -

Fullscreen (Min. VRAM) High: -
Fullscreen (Min. VRAM) Med: -
Fullscreen (Min. VRAM) Low: x

Windowed High: x
Windowed Med: -
Windowed Low: x

Zoom High: -
Zoom Med: x
Zoom Low: x

Yeah, it doesn't look like graphics settings are the problem, here...

So my friend got the game recently too but he is not encountering issues...

He is running Windows 7 64-bit Professional as well with an Intel Core 2 Duo.

I thought it might be a gamepad issue but I tried removing my gamepad and still receive the crashes.

Pretty much running out of ideas here... starting to regret my purchase  :'(

By the way, I had the crashing issues on the demo as well, but thought it would be different for the full version.  I wanted to believe!

i already posted it in the sticky thread, but i'm getting the crashes too. in 3 tries the game crashed twice when entering the first door in school on day 2 and once when entering the second door. thus the game is completely unplayable. i'm pretty pissed to be honest that i get an unplayable game after 2 delays because the wanted a perfect version that doesn't need patching.

Same here.  The game will randomly crash for me whenever i go through any sort of transition.  The farthest I've made it is into the mountain cave.  It will typically crash when leaving the school, changing rooms in the school, or going to a new area in the mountain cave.  It will display the generic "Fortune Summoners has stopped responding" message. 

I've tried the game in full screen and windowed mode.  My computer has Windows 64bit, Intel I7 processor, Nvidia GTX 260 video card.

Hope this is fixed soon, I was definitely hoping that a major bug like this would have been squashed after the delays.  :-\
