Problem With WA1 (SOLVED)

Post by billy bob » Thu May 15, 2014 6:36 pm

Hello everyone. I have WA1 on my computer and it was working fine. Then after a while this started happening, and then a few months later it stopped working entirely. Every time I open the game it asks whether I want it windowed or in full screen and then either one I pick it opens then immediately closes again. I don't think it's the copy of my game. My computer is a Windows 7. I asked my computer if my driver software needed updating and it said the best driver software is already installed.
WA2 works fine. WA3 works fine. I even downloaded the WA1 Demo and it works fine. The WA1 copy I have was bought from Big Fish Games. I do not want to have to buy a new copy, and it probably wouldn't solve the issue.

Any suggestions?

EDIT: Just bought the game again and my computer decided to cooperate with it.

I don't think that its a problem with the game, but the computer. Certain graphics cards don't work with wonderland.
Don't come in contact with contaminants.

Have you tried modifying the resolution on it?

Like, above the <fullscreen/windowed> option under DISPLAY SETTINGS.

I think my game acts weird if I modify it. :|

If you ever accidentally click it once, click it five times more.

Also, if you want to see my level list, here it is! :D

Oh, and my YT wonderland channel. Forgot about that.

But WA2 and WA3 and even WA1 demo work fine.

I have never used it myself and can't help you there, but you might get some additional information with "Process Monitor", a program that monitors the file system and the registry. If the game is crashing silently due to file corruption, you might be able to figure out what's going on.

It should be somewhere on this link: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysi ... 96645.aspx
Rest in peace, Kym. I hardly knew ya.
Rest in peace, Marinus. A bright star, you were ahead of me on my own tracks of thought. I miss you.
