Algodoo.exe has stopped working

Postby ketnehn » Mon Jun 17, 2013 2:07 pm

I recently purchased the MS Surface Pro tablet, and I wanted to try installing phun/algodoo since the device is perfect for it. Anyway, whenever I try to run it, it instantly crashes. What bugs me is that although this tablet pc does not have a gpu, I have heard of other people using algodoo on the Surface.

PC Specs:
  • Windows 8 Pro
  • 128GB SSD
  • 3rd Gen Intel Core i5 @1.70 GHz with Intel HD Graphics 4000
  • 4GB RAM

Here is what I have done:
  • redownloaded and reinstalled the client
  • mess around with different compatibility modes
  • restarted my computer after installing
  • I also checked to make sure all my drivers are up to date (they are)

Here is the log file:

Issue appears to be with starting up the initial window.

Whats your screen resolution?
edit the config file in my documents (using notepad++), and edit the resolution (search "resolution" inside notepad++) size to your display size. The GPU appears to be capable to run algodoo looking at the specs, so I'm not 100% sure of what is wrong.

Nope, changing the res in the config file did nothing. I should also mention that I tried downloading the newest version of phun and another version that I downloaded a few years ago. neither worked and had the exact same issue. a blank window pops up, and without any pause, it stops working.

Try an old version of Algodoo, as I've said, the stated GPU does appear to be able to run algodoo on the papers I've seen, however, it could be possible that the GPU just simply isn't.
