Hi,

Is it appropriate use of this site to only sell a product that is only a Steam Key? By this I mean, there would be no download for the game provided. I ask this because my game does not run outside the Steam environment. 

Thank you!

Awesome to hear! Thanks for the kind words, and no worries about the support, you and others are very helpful in getting bugs squashed :D

I would recommend x360ce, does the game crash the moment you launch it or does it crash the moment you try to start a game? or is the emulator crashing?

Which emulator are you using? so long as you have one thumbstick and a few buttons you should be good.

Excellent! I would love to hear what missing dll it was, in case some one else comes to me with the same problem :) Have fun!

Wow that is a strange one. It is possible something has gone wrong in your installation of XNA or .Net or even DirectX. First try running the game as administrator to see if that changes anything. According to https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/k7137bfe.aspx the error could be related to your .Net framework, so lets install the very latest version and try the game again: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=53344. Just curious, but did you extract the game files to your desktop, or are you running it from within a zip file? If so try extracting the files to your desktop first. I hope some of this works!

EDIT: Oh and if you have upgraded to Windows 10 Recently, it can mess up the XNA install, so that might be worth giving a reinstall too: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=20914

That is strange, okay follow these steps.

Step 1. Try to launch the game and let it fail.

Step 2. Navigate to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer

Step 3. Click on and expand Windows Logs, and then click Applications

Step 4. Near the top of the list you should find TWO(2) error reports related to Super Blood Hockey, post them here.

That should tell us exactly what is going wrong :)

Hey, Sorry you are having some issues! Does the game start up and run? or does it crash when you try to start a match? Also, what video card does your computer have?

First make sure you have XNA installed: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.a... - if you aren't sure, just run the installer and reboot anyway.

If that doesn't work, try running the application as administrator. Less likely is that you are missing the .Net runtime: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.a... Try that if the XNA installer doesn't work.

If it still doesn't run, post again and we can explore other options :)

Nah my fault. It shouldn't be possible xD

Yup you are correct! That is my mistake, it shouldn't be possible to not select any controllers xD but I guess that is the point of a Beta anyway hehe. I am glad you had fun with the game! I am definitely going to develop it much further including a career mode. thanks again!

Ah! that makes sense! That is my fault though, you shouldn't be able to start a game with no controllers xD oops. I will have to fix that :D

That is rather strange, does this error occur everytime you try to play a game? What if you change up some of the options, teams, etc? Try running the game in window'ed mode and see if that changes anything.

I am going to copy paste my response to another comment because it seems you are having the same issue:

Go to your windows 10 search bar and type in "Administrative tools", then find "Event Viewer" open it and go to "Windows Logs" and then expand the "Applications" selection. In there somewhere near the top, you should find 2 error reports related to the crash (it will say superbloodhockey.exe). If you could paste the entire error message here that would be very helpful!

It may be a lack of a dll file for Windows Media Player. Try reinstalling that to see if it fixes it. If not the error message should tell us what is going wrong.

I suspect it might be a missing .dll file related to Windows Media Player because once the game starts it queues the music, and this is a known error I have encountered in the past related to XNA Games. :) You could quickly try reinstalling Windows Media Player to see if it fixes it. If not the error report will tell us what is going wrong.

Thanks for playing and glad to see you guys had some fun! If you have any suggestions or ideas, I would love to hear them :D

Thanks for taking the time to play my game and spread the word! I really appreciate it. I am very glad you had fun with it :D
