Playtest 20150329 and Windows 8.1

Post by Cypher_Dasarian »

At first the map editor would crash when trying to switch mods, sorry i didn't record the error and will do next time.

I deleted all OpenRA folders and reinstalled, now the map editor won't launch at all. An hour glass shows up for a moment and nothing happens, no sign of the process either. I've tried reinstalling again, rebooting etc.

Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: I'll try to add as much detail as I can here for troubleshooting. I really do apologize for not recording the original error.

Now it seems I can't get the application to launch at all. I'll try the system logs etc. and see what I can come up with.

You need the content assets so be sure to start/play the mod first and yes the editor is terrible. We are redoing it from scratch at the moment. https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/issues/3377

Thanks for the reply!!! That helped alot!
It should have been obvious to me, you have to launch the mods and download the content! That's what it was complaining about when I tried to switch mods in the editor, it seems so obvious now that I see the error. I can now switch mods fine.

Thank You!
