| Summary | 0004792: Game unplayable when run directly from Windows location bar | ||||
| Description | Steps to replicate: -> Open any folder which is not a subfolder of the AVWW install directory -> Type the location of the AVWW executable directly into the address bar and press Enter to run it -> Strange behavior ensues: * lots of MISSING_LOCALIZATION errors * trial prompt appears (I'm running the registered version already) * Game hangs on "GameInit: 10"; output_log.txt bloats up | ||||

While I agree that this doesn't work, I'm not sure how crucial of a fix this needs to be, as it's so very easy to aviod. |

Josh -- does AI War do this? I suspect all our games do. This looks to be a windows bug more than anything else, with it not properly initializing the context of the folder when starting the game. But it's odd that it would really happen this way, because we put in a lot of safeguards for when that happens... |

Yeah, AI War does this too. Must be a Windows thing. |
|
|
It sort of is -- it's initializing the game wrong, anyhow, but the game is meant to recover from that... |
