[Solved] Cant start up game - unhandled errors
« on: January 14, 2010, 08:52:26 am »
Downloaded it from steam - wouldnt run
downloaded it this web site into another location (program files) - still wont run
downloaded slim dx and .net sp 3.65 and re-executed them  - still doesnt run
same errors every time, here's the unhandled error file contents

Unusual to get this type of problem with a game  ???

I am not sure but this error message would indicate that your Arial font has become corrupted... What OS do you have? The error would indicate WinXP ;)

Go in your fonts directoy in Windows\Fonts and move the Arial font out in a different folder, and copy it back in, that should fix it. If not, i don't know where or how but theres ways to get the font from the windows cd.

Though if that doesn't help i don't know ;)

 Figured it out - its missing the arial.ttf file from the fonts directory!
I added it in and everything is fine now
This is true for the steam version and the download from this site
How could this be?

Sorry missed your email eRe4s3r
I checked the windows fonts directory and it was there ok - i used it in notepad no problems
checked the size against another xp machine - 359k, the same
so I copied it from windows/font into the aiwars fonts directory and then it started straight up

Yeah its a very very common thing that happens with fonts, the fonts in there need to be installed (which happens when you copy it in) but its possible for the fonts to break/corrupt while installed so then it thinks its installed but half of the file might not work.. not really sure what happens.. but re-adding them solves it.

Talk about weird windows bugs eh

Looks like this was already handled -- but yep, that's exactly what it was, the system copy of Arial being corrupt.  Putting it in the AI War folder will possibly also make it find that font, as you discovered, but best thing is to just make sure that the OS version gets fixed, as it sounds like you did.  Would likely cause problems in word processors, web pages, and a variety of other things that use arial (most likely making web pages fail over to verdana or MS Sans Serif or something of that sort).  Anyway, glad that was resolved!
