Bugs fixed / file associations
September 29, 2007, 08:36:57 PM
I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, or if it's just not included yet, but I can't seem to associate stackz files with stackz 07. I'm running vista. I right click a .szm file, 'open with', 'choose default program', click browse and browse to stackz 07 RC5 exe file. It doesn't add it to the program list however, and will not associate correctly. Is this just because you don't want it overwriting stackz 06 associations? If this is not a bug, when can we expect to see the file associations working?

Bugs fixed / Re: Startup Crash - Shift avoidable.

Ah that makes sense! It stopped crashing because I disabled all the fancy menu options and opted for the basic simple menus. After that was when it loaded fine. But now I reactivated them to test and I tried a couple of different animations with menu shadows enabled and there was no problem. So, I really can't confirm anything, but so long as you know what you're doing then all's well. Still though, I couldn't open it without shift until I went around in the program and turned those menus off (I presume that was the action that fixed it, surely it's not a conincidence...?). Well, all's well now for me, just for new users I hope it's well too.

Bugs fixed / Startup Crash - Shift avoidable.
September 20, 2007, 08:28:53 PM
I hate to be the bearer of bad news as I read that this was already solved, but well, I guess not quite. Release Candidate 4 crashes on startup for me. I read somewhere about holding shift when you load it up, which did the trick. So, holding shift works, without it, crash on startup.
I'm running vista home premium. Anything you need to know about my system? It's a laptop, core 2 due, 2gig ram, the graphics card is nvidia. If you need to know anything just ask.


Oh hooold on a second here! I have news lol. After loading it with shift and mucking around a bit in the program, I seem to be able to restart it without problems. Funny thing is it was consistent before. kept trying, kept crashing. Kept using shift, kept loading, and I kept closing it right after it loaded to try again. The problem was persistent and consistent, but the moment I gave up and started pressing buttons and leaving stackz open for a while... problem gone, startup doesn't crash anymore.

Are there any initial setup files stackz deals with? Maybe the problem occures with some kind of primary action? It really was consistent, and I had the exact same problem with one of the earlier betas. After the first time I actually played around with the program, the problem was solved. Strange eh? Might cause a prob for first time users though.
