Are you using the black theme?
It causes the problem as well!

Hmm, it still seems to crash for me, same as before. Graphics drivers are all up-to-date, so Algodoo just must not like ATI/AMD cards.

Chronos: could you please send your Logfile.txt to me so I can take a look at your hardware and software specs. It's bewildering why the direct solver should crash for some but not others...

Thanks for releasing the latest version of this WONDERFUL program!!! I love the new interface, along with the new tools. Keep up the good, but HARD work. :)

just a follow up on a application crash (when dragging an object) on my mums PC, the program seams to work fine now!

Also, i have an ATI gfx card( 4540 HD 1GB ), and algodoo runs perfectly, so it isnt ATI cards in general, just certain/most models?

I suggest that we create a hardware compatability list, even as a tempoary measure (until fixed, or made permermand if certain hardware cant be fixed).
When asking for help, READ THE STICKIES!

I support the suggestion about compiling a hardware compatibility list.

Could this be accomplished, at least on the Algodoo user's end, by submitting logfiles?
I don't personally know any of my specs, other than I use a really old (in modern technological terms, ~5 years) HP desktop with an equally ancient Intel graphics card. If logfiles contain the necessary info, this might work.

I would like to see a compatability list or minimum system requirements, I still havent gotten the latest beta working and have tried a number of things (ATI card). I have run a lot of games and various other fairly demanding programs without problems and I would think Algodoo would run on my computer.

Try re-downloading and re-installing. Maybe you have a defective installer.

More likely, however, Algodoo doesn't like your graphics card. If you have an ATI card, this is probably the case.

I've installed the beta onto my laptop, and it seems to be running well, although none of the user interface elements have appeared. The menu backgrounds are in the right place, but instead of any icons I've just got white rectangles.

I've tried changing the skin and resetting Algodoo to no avail. I had the same problem with a previous beta (I don't recall the number, but it had Thrusters as a tool), but never found a suitable fix on the forum.

Any suggestions would be gratefully received.


Please send me the Logfile! On Windows it is in "My Documents/Algodoo/", on MacOS it's in "~/Library/Application Support/Algodoo/".

Moogthedog's problem happened to me too. When I installed the latest graphic card drivers, it worked just fine.
