Startup crash :(

[Squighopper]

Hey,

Just bought and downloaden your games, but when I try to start the game, it gives me a error window.

This is displayed in my unhandeled errors.txt:

Are there any fixes for this?  I have installed all the requirements (directx, slimDX and the .NetFx32)

Thanks in advance!

Hmm, Chris is better at these than me, but my two guesses are:

1) Are you using the March 2009 SP1 version of SlimDX?  We host a copy here: http://www.arcengames.com/dl/SlimDX%20Runtime%20(March%202009%20SP1).msi
2) It's possible that your .NET install is corrupt, that's happened to a number of people and while it is resolvable it's a big pain and one of the reasons we're porting the game from .NET to Unity 3D in the next couple months.

Tried your SlimDX link, but no changes..

It looks like there might be something amiss with your Arial font. Does it work if you download and install the Arial font at http://web.nickshanks.com/fonts/microsoft-core-web-fonts?

  That just did it! Thanks!! 

Now lets enjoy this awesome game!!

Glad it works, enjoy!
