I noticed this as I scanned the log:

"at GameStateManagement.MainMenuScreen.Update(GameTime gameTime, Boolean otherScreenHasFocus, Boolean coveredByOtherScreen)"

Not sure if it is related but, it might be helpful to note that I'm using a triple-head monitor setup with Nvidia surround and another monitor off to the right. My monitor 1 resolution is 5760x1080 or 6010x1080 if bezel corrected. Monitor two is off and not being used at the moment.

[kubluu]

As the error says, the resolution is larger than what the game can handle.

Right now, the best fix is to locate the Options.xml file in Documents/Unclaimed World
Then edit the resolution setting and possibly the Full screen setting and try to restart the game.

[Bearfight]

I turned the other monitors off and set the resolution to a normal 19020x1080. I got the same error. A also tried flipping options in the XML. That was on version 0.5.

I will install and test on version 0.6 and post again.

[Bearfight]

This time nothing happens at all after launching. No error message, no black screen, just nothing. I am running a recent clean-install of Windows 8.1. I already have K-Lite and an up to date version of FFDShow installed, as I've seen others mention. K-Lite is standard for my setup.

I found these the application event log:

Making progress from a flat-out CTD, but I've still not been able to actually play your game.

The game now launches to a title screen with a backdrop and the story on the right but, nothing else. There's no menu buttons or 'press enter to start', etc, so I can't start the game.

I'm using Windows 8.1 Pro fully updated, DirectX is updated, one monitor 1920x1080, nvidia gtx770 with latest drivers.

Game version 0.0.0.13

[kubluu]

Huh, it sounds strange that the menu panel is not displayed.

Perhaps the gui panel is placed outside of the screen bounds?

Maybe if you post a screenshot we can figure it out.

[Bearfight]

No problem. Link to screenshot:

[kubluu]

Strange, I have never seen that before...

I notice that the size of the image is 1280 x 1024.
Can you locate the Options.xml file (under Documents/Unclaimed World) and post its contents?

[Bearfight]

Yeah, it stretches to 1920x1080 when the game is launched but, that's the screenshot it grabbed. Options.xml is below.
