Vega Strike Fails to start

Post by hangar18 »

Hi All,

I'm new to VS and want to check it out but it simply wont start. I installed 0.5.1 r1 fine but double clicking the app creates the usual hourglass as it thinks about running for a few seconds then returns to nothing. My Laptop is brand new,....specs below. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Also try running in administration mode. I know it's really not the way it should be, but Win 7 tends to kill VS because, right at first launch, it tries to save some stuff in "Program Files". We'll probably have it fixed by next release, but 0.5.1 is stained like that.

I'm already working on the split CSV thing, might get it ready this weekend :)
(that means Deus's patches would get finally committed)

I had the same problem, if you run as administrator it should work by my experience
