Can't seem to get it to work - the program craps out and generates an error log - but it doesn't.

Help?

hmm that's right before it creates the openGL window

what openGL card do you have?
try toggling between windowed and fullscreen mode

if you have nvidia you need the august drivers--cus earlier ones have bugs dealing with display lists that Vega Strike happens to use (cus they're fast)

now you might just want to turn off anything unnecessary until it runs... sound (music is ok), low detail...just get it running and turn on features...
no one has reported this problem..but it is obviously very important to us that it runs flawlessly on your box

[hellcatv]

actually I looked more carefully at a successful load--the error appears to be in the sound module...
did you install the EAX drivers that the setup recommended to install?
do you have 0.4.1 instead of 0.4.0?

you may want to search for a file in the vega strike tree called openal32.dll
if that file is there it doesn't belong--axe it.

otherwise... just turn off sound and it will probably work

By the way...music loads in a different exe so even if it crashes it will not take down VS

sound on the other hand is within vega strike and uses openAL...a library that's known to have incompatabilities...
I've "heard" there have been some problems with audigy or with nforce2...but I'm not positive nor can I debug it since I simply don't have such systems nor am responsible for the latest openAL driver

all I can say is that I always play VS with music only and no sound and I enjoy it actually very much
