Sintel is crashing

Game Engine Game Engine Support and Discussion

Hi. I have tried to run Sintel,

however, when I access the executable, I get an Visual C++ runtime error box, and it crashes. I have even tried to load the Blend file in Blender 2.76b, but when I press P, it still crashes.

I have Visual C++ 2008,2010,2012,2013 and 2015 Redistributable, installed on Windows 7, x64.

How to solve this problem ?

From gameplay videos, this game seems to have a lot of potential. I think that with new Eevee viewport engine in 2.8, it would look great. Mabie then I’ll even fork it and build some levels for fun.

Okay dude i have also encountered the problem but mines seemed to heve been a little different from your’s i remember downloading the game and the 1st time i ran it it crashed , the second time i ran it i changed the resolution and it ran but with extreme Lag i did not get to have a full sintel experience… And so its very boring as i found that the Lag i encountered actually had a negative impact on the actual game it was extremely buggy she could not run fast at all and Ai was stubborn i ended up laughing and what kills me is that there was a whole team actually behind the making of this game. i’d go for Yo Frankie as one of the best AAA blender games ever made !!!

Try Upbge, it works in it.

do you have both x86 and x64? of the vc runtimes?

5

Yes, I have both

I’ve also tried Upbge, but still has the same error

7

Hmm, did you try different levels and see if they crash?

8

Did you install .NET 3.5 or newer version? Also what is your win version?

For upbge error message related to Visual c++, I think it’s because I built the last windows versions with MSVC 2015 (experimental build for the moment). But after several bug report I did another built with MSVC 2013: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3GouQIyoCmrdHJJbVMxazdBenc/view?usp=sharing . I think this could solve the problem (or maybe install visual studio redistributable 2015 with the build made with MSVC 2015).

EDIT: oh sorry I didn’t read carefully enough. It is running the .exe that you had original issue and you had already redistributables… :confused:

it really shouldnt be this hard to run a game, maybe it is simply out of date or broken. anyone look into the source?

ill see if it runs on my system later.

11

I have Net Framework 4.61. As OS, Windows 7 x64

I have tried to run the game with this build, but I get the same error
13

I received the same error from the .exe files, however if you start the “sintel_win.blend” with blender 2.78 and press “P” it works fine.
I think the problem is connected with the exe trying to start full screen and windows version.

i think the version it was packaged with is 2.68? you may want to get that version to be sure it runs as intended. i also found starting it in the startup.blend in the …\lib\menu\ folder worked as well.

EDIT: 2.68 doesnt seem to work at all, but 2.74 seems ok.

EDIT2: for the slow movement issue, just hold down the left shift key to run.

Thank you everyone. Now it works. The exe and sintel_the_game.blend were the problems.
