Can't Open

Hi!

So grateful there's a port of this game for Windows now. Unfortunately, when I click the .exe file, I get the error message "No mapping for the Unicode character exists in the target multi-byte code page." When I click OK it exits the program.

I am on Windows 10 on a fairly powerful machine, is there something I need to do to run it?

Thanks!

Hi! I’ve never seen this issue before. Can you post a screenshot of the error? What are your language settings in Windows?

Also, are you getting the same error with other games that I’ve ported? (Bugdom, Nanosaur, etc.)

Hi Iliyas!

The specific window says "No mapping for the Unicode character exists in the targer multi-byte code page."

I was able to run Nanosaur and Ottomatic without issue.


Thank you so much!


Oh and my language settings are English (USA)

Please try this special build which contains extra debugging info:

If it still fails to open, please attach a screenshot of the debug window. Thanks!

Hi and thank you so much for your time once again,

When I click on the .exe file, this is what opens. I tried to find further debug information but this is all I was able to come up with. Is there anything else I need to do?

I also found a similar issue with Bugdom upon opening the application. I am guessing it's the same issue for Windows 10 machines...

Strangely, Nanosaur and Otto Matic run just fine

Please try this one: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/hjq2gcxc0djod0da7qh0l/CroMagRally-verbose-2023-09-17.zip?rlkey=sctr79cvyw8qbl60xk0812v53&dl=1

Rats I'm not sure what's going on! Still won't open :\

Thanks again for what you're doing. I'll keep posting error codes if you feel like trying anything else, but I understand you must have a life if you don't want to keep at it :)

I hope this one will work - https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/if8i938t3axmm07zflq7f/CroMagRally-verbose-2023-09-19.zip?rlkey=4reck6ueu17g6bedqprbaf1sy&dl=1

If it fails again, this time you’ll be prompted to send me a crash dump file, which will help me figure out what’s going on with fewer back-and-forths ;)

Thank you so much! It totally worked! I'm so happy to play this game again
