Introversion

Hello,

I bought multiwinia on steam and whenever I try to run it, I get this error (Fatal Error: Failed to load language file) which forces me to quit. When I launch the game, my whole screen turns black as expected, but a few seconds in, the game crashes and displays this message. After pressing OK, I get a second message saying:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Runtime Error!

Program:

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

Thanks for any help!

Standard questions: What version of Windows are you running? What are your hardware specs? Have you read the how to report a bug topic at the top of this forum? You might also try reading through the troubleshooting topic on the Darwinia boards, as some of the information there may be useful (or not).

Hello xander,

I am running Windows Vista 64bit edition on service pack 2 with the following hardware:

4GB of DDR2 ram
AMD Atholon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5600+ 2.9 GHz
ATI Radeon HD 4850, 514 MB DDR3

I have not read how to report a bug topic. And I have searched the Multiwinia forums for any post containing the words: "Fatal +Error +language +file", however this yielded no result.

I hope this information helps!

Hello,

After trying different things, I got it to work on my own.

In order to solve my issue, deleted the cache files from inside the steam gui and redownloaded/installed the game.

Hope this helps anyone who will have the same problem!

The most likely cause was a faulty install. The verify feature of steam can usually pick this up but sometimes it doesn't.
