Hey ho, I can't for the life of me run the windows file. I get a crdownload issue and even after fixing it, the game closes after the Godot logo. I am actually sure that it's more a windows thing but maybe a zip-file or something would work better, apparently, windows doesn't like downloading exe files (it's very weird).
Hey, thanks for letting me know. The fact that your browser blocks exe downloads seems to be a fantastic feature from security perspective. Although it seems to get in the way in this case. :/
I had a brief look and I have not found what could cause this. To be able to work on this, I would need the error message. Could you start it from the Powershell. E.g. with .\duesternis.exe and send me the output?
Maybe another download from a different browser/PC might fix it?
That was so nice! Alas,
The download works now but after the Godot logo, the game just closes. I read how to get some log info and … it’s so complicated, I am not sure I am up to it, so I will mark this as a weird things probably created by Windows 10. (I also read that this is a rare thing that can happen and Windows 10 or 11 seems to always be involved)
(I tried Offshore again, to see if this was a general Godot issue but that game works fine. Maybe it’s some update-stuff. If I have the energy to run the thing in command - which I am not sure I am smart enough to do - I will get back to you via DM :)) So sorry, I feel like this is definitely on me.
Hmpf, what a pity. I would have been interested on your thoughts about the game. :/
My best guess is that your graphics card does not support Vulkan. The only option for me would be to provide an openGL3 version (offshore uses openGL3), but this version would take away a lot of charm, since this game tries to have a more realistic look with volumetric fog.
Out of curiosity, what GPU do you have?
Edit: You could try to enforce it by running .\duesternis.exe --rendering-driver opengl3, but the experience would be definitely different.
