Could not preload global game manager #0

(1/2) > >>

Bisonian:
Greetings,

I bought your game on Steam today and it ran the first time I played it.  When I came back a few hours later to load it again I get an error box on load with the following information:

Failed to initialize player
Details: Could not preload global game manager #0

I know that is extremely little information to go by, but any initial clues as to what the problem might be, or what information would help track down the problem?

Thanks in advance, looking forward to playing some more of the game!

Hmm, that is odd.  It may have been that you happened to start right when the mac version was being updated into the steam system.  Can you try that one more time?  Thanks!

x4000:
Okay, actually looks like this is a unity error (http://forum.unity3d.com/viewtopic.php?p=251314), so you might want to try verifying your steam local files (right click the game, go into properties, go to Cache, go to local files, click verify integrity of game cache) to be sure nothing is amiss.  Hope that helps!

I went ahead and verified the game cache and it found no problems.  Trying to run the game after doing so gives me the "Preparing to launch Tidalis..." Steam window which just sits and spins.  It never closes, and nothing ever loads.

I plan on uninstalling and redownloading it tomorrow and seeing how it goes.  I will check back in then to see if there is any new information and to let you know how it goes.  Thanks in advance for the prompt replies!

Hmm, that is really peculiar, I've not seen that behavior before from Steam.  Our guys on windows are going to check it out on the latest stuff and make sure that it's working okay.  I'm on the mac right now, and it's working great for me, but we'll see what happens.  If that doesn't work, then I imagine that deleting the game and redownloading it would fix it; you shouldn't have to do that routinely or anything close, but maybe there was some hiccup in the system today.  You might also try closing steam and then re-launching the game when you next come back to it, as that may help...
