Hello!
Played original a long time ago, so awesome, so bought a new version.
I've tried to run it, but i have only Ironseed cursor and black screen. I left it to run several minutes just to make sure it is not long loads and then message poped up with character pic "Increased knowledge base". So the game obviously is running but i cannot see it. Switching window/fullscreen does not help.
Any suggestions?
Thank you
Hi, thanks for answering.
It should be shift according to this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGsr0Lt_iqs, but it does nothing for me, the game just starts normally. I can see logo and then black screen with red Ironseed cursor. I have Win 7 and 10 in dual boot. The problem is the same regardless. of OS.
Oh, and there is no sound as well, in logo or in game, dunno if it should be that way.
I tried to play with aspect ratio settings, as people recommended. tried scale on display, no scale etc. Does nothing for me, sorry.
So Alt+Enter doesn't fix the issue? I did see something a couple of times where the shaders wouldn't compile the first run of the game. Restarting seemed to fix it. What sort of video card do you have? Maybe there's something in there to try configuring. Like reset to default anti-aliasing and other features (set to "Let App Decide"). Maybe open up Task Manager (Alt+Shift+Escape) and see how your performance is.
There are some additional command line options here https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/CommandLineArguments.html and scroll down to "Standalone Player". Maybe try "-force-glcore"?
Just some ideas, sorry I can't be more helpful.
Hi
I have GTX 1660. Already changed everything i could in Nvidia panel.
And yes, first launch is noticeably slower, so looks like something is recompiling.
Task manager shows 50% load on my 4core I5-4460, so game is working.
-force-glcore instantly gives me error "InitializeEngineGraphics failed". Maybe i'm lacking some OpenGL runtimes? If i use -force-d3d11 game starts without error, but still blackscreen.
Oh, and i tried both 32 and 64 bit version, no difference.
UPD: I tried all that again on my wife laptop with win10 and Radeon 540x/Intel card. Exactly the same case. So doesn't look like it is nvidia-specific. I think it should use Radeon for Unity, but I don't know for sure.
I found unity log, there is something there

One odd thing is it is using your Intel GPU instead of NVidia. You can override it using "-force-device-index" with 0 or 1. I found my machine was NVidia on 0 and Intel on 1. I verified in the Player.log file in "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Channel 7 Software\Ironseed".
There is a debug console if you hit ~ key. It might show an error as well.
Can I use it in command line parameters? Like "-force-device-index1"? Or it should be in boot.config? I'm a total noob in Unity.
~ key does nothing for me. Can i somehow launch ironseed with Unity player (if such thing exist separately)? Will it be different?
Enabled my intel GPU as default and launched with it (verified in log). Same case.
Can i request some test run from couple of friends?
Also, are you in SpaceGameJunkie discord? Brian (main guy here) is also interested in your remake and knows the original, maybe he can give you coverage.
Hi again.
Someone reported the same problem but with a different twist here https://www.reddit.com/r/ironseed/comments/h901xe/no_video/
Sadly it hasnt worked for me, there is no second window appearing. But maybe it may help you in figuring out the problem.
I successfully upgraded to the latest Unity without breaking anything.. that's a first! They broke the camera stacking a while back and I was stuck without having to do major rewriting of the scenes. Apparently enough people complained and they added it back. =P I will clean up the code and get a build put together. I'm hoping this will fix your video issues.
No, new version did not help, but i found where the problem lies.
I thought about what i saw in Unity log -
"FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format.
at System.Number.ParseSingle (System.String value, System.Globalization.NumberStyles options, System.Globalization.NumberFormatInfo numfmt) [0x00083] in <ad04dee02e7e4a85a1299c7ee81c79f6>:0
And i had a hunch. I changed my regional formats in Windows from default Russian to English(USA) and now everything works fine!
I think we have different delimiters, and Unity may use default delimiters for internal calcualtion. I had exactly the same problem several years ago with totally different software.
Anyway, problem solved!
