4547 Test Hang on Quickstart

Woot, looks like a new one was posted on the same site, just version 4547 =D.

Finished downloading.

After clicking Quick start I get a black screen. I force close the game after waiting 30 seconds. This also happens when trying to start new single player game, even at 10 planets for the whole system.

Does this only happen with 4547 and not 4521 or v0.3.17?

Please post your .log files (zipped) from after trying and failing to start a game. They are located in the same place as config.xml.

It would also be helpful if you could tell us wich platform/OS you're on. Win, OS X, Linux? I just build and run SVN 4549 on Mac, I didn't notice any issues. Quick start launched the game just fine, but your problem could be platform related.

The original post mentions a new download of 4547 being posted, suggesting it's probably Windows, for which a build of that revision was recently posted on sourceforge.

Ooops, obviously I missed that. Anyway, I downloaded the 4547 build to an old WinXP laptop, installed and run it. Could start a game via quickstart just fine.

AJedithereis, did you follow the instructions on the wiki?
