DF General Discussion / Installation crashes.
« on: February 01, 2009, 10:37:14 am »
A friend of mine has tried installing DF from all 4 mirrors on the front page of the site: http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/index.html
But to no avail. DF crashes his computer whenever he tries to run it. He says he hears the intro music on a black screen, then nothing, and then it crashes. Then he reboots the computer, and Windows says it has recovered from a serious error.
He does not have Vista and his computer is nicer than mine, and mine can handle it, so I don't think it's related to simply not being able to handle it.
None of the 4 mirrors work for him. Can anyone help think of what the problem might be and then suggest a solution?
Edit: I just archived my DF folder into a .rar file, sent it to him, had him WinRar it out, and he started it up.
Did the exact same thing and crashed his computer.
