Love.exe close itself after opened

Post by arcwinolivirus »

As the title said, It seems like the program does open but only for about 1 second and then terminate itself (I observed the process of love.exe in the task manager). No window pops out and yes its like nothing happened. Any help guys? thank you in advance :3

Is that LÖVE 0.9.1? What version of Windows are you using? Does it only do that with the no-game screen, or does it happen with .love files too?
lf = love.filesystem
ls = love.sound
la = love.audio
lp = love.physics
lt = love.thread
li = love.image
lg = love.graphics

It is LÖVE 0.9.1 Sir. Im using Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. There's no window poppin out when I double click the love.exe itself. About .love files, I never tried it. Its just Im having issue of opening the program and the game: Swordgirls online. with fakesg.exe.

Here's the link of the game Im having issue with: http://swordgirls.net/

Here's the image of files of that game:

Do you have antivirus software running? If so, maybe it's mistakenly preventing LÖVE from running.

I uninstalled my anti virus just to be sure. Reinstalled the program and still autokills itself.

For additional info here's my task manager processes:

Not very familiar with windows, but try this.
Run the game from your console:
Go the start, type "cmd" and click on the cmd.exe that should be in the list.
Type the Letter of the Drive which your .exe is on (often not needed, if your path already starts with C: and the game is on C: then you don't need this) and a ':' after it.
Enter cd and the path to the .exe file
Type the name of the .exe and press enter. If that prints out something onto the console, tell us what it is here (or tell the developers). If it types nothing, you might try:
Type the name of the .exe and after it type --console, then press enter. Tell us if a console pops up and what it shows.

Here's an example:

Code: Select all

E:
cd E:\Downloads\Games\sgnet_windows\
fakesg.exe
fakesg.exe --console
P.S.: It's weird that the .exe has the word "fake" in it. Are you sure it's not fake? O.o

Yes Im sure its not fake. So I followed your instruction and still doesnt work. I tried to run the game, nothing happened. Also I tried the program engine itself and nothing happened as well. Something pops out but only for 1 second. I managed to repeat many times just to screenshot and got the actual cmd console there~ here's what it showed:

What kind of video card do you have? Also, make sure you have the most up-to-date graphics drivers for it that you can get.

You can download drivers for nvidia graphics cards here: http://www.nvidia.ca/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us (just select 'GeForce 9 series' from the 'Product Series' dropdown.)
