Crash at start - mickpr - 12-07-2013
Hi everybody
I even can't start new versions (1.5.1 or 1.5.2) of Wings3D after succesfull install process - because of crash (wings_crash.dump you can see below

--------------------------------
Older version (1.4.1.137.g5ee2) works perfect.
I have also a new version of Visual C++ redistributable libraries installed (10.0.40219), but after downgrade - the crash event remains.
My system is : Windows XP SP3 PL (Polish)
CPU: Intel I5 (32bit), 4GB RAM
Graphics: NVidia GeForce GTS250
Please help
...........
after a while...
I've found a mistake:
If I set language to English (instead of Polish) in older version, and reinstall a new one - it starts properly.
But If I set it to Polish again (in new version) - it'll crash.
With regards:
Mike

Hello everyone,
about version 1.5.1
After many unsuccessful attempts, finally managed to download, but if I open it directly in program files I entitled to a crash, I have to right click and open it through "run time" in addition I have this message "program wings3d.exe was not able to locate file for setting the application
it is not supposed to happen, you should report this bug "
the program works but it's hard not being able to open it directly, I am running xp 32 bit intel quad core cpu Q9550 at 2.83 ghz (4 cpus) 3.5 mb ram, ATI radeon hd 4800 series .
what to do to run it directly, thank you.

You can try this hack:
Make a shortcut and start wings this way.. it can not handle unicode characters in your username.
"C:\Program Files\wings3d_1.5.1.7\bin\werl.exe" -run wings start_halt -extra "c:\Config"
You can change the c:\Config below to directory without unicode chars in it.

Also you should update to 1.5.2
RE: Crash at start - tma - 12-17-2013
I reported similar problem in install thread. Thanks to Micheus I found this thread. Workaround with "extra" param works (Erlang window remains opened). But I disagree upgrade to ver. 1.5.2 should help. I cannot see any difference.
RE: Crash at start - dgud - 12-18-2013
1.5.2 fixes another serious issue with random crashes, when you have managed to start wings...
RE: Crash at start - dgud - 04-14-2014
Please test 1.5.3 which I hope have solved your issue.
