Crash to desktop on startup

(1/2) > >>

SoftwareSimian:
I just downloaded the latest (2013-May-06) Windows binaries, and the game now crashes on startup. It gets to about 25% of the splash loading screen progress bar, and then crashes to desktop. I reverted to 2013-Apr-17 binaries and confirmed it works fine, also re-downloaded the current binaries just to make sure.

As it crashes to desktop the console is very briefly (0.2s or thereabouts) visible, and I managed to grab a screenshot (attached), but it doesn't show much useful, the last line is "--- parse scripts ---- 57 script files"

Attach the full ufoconsole.log

SoftwareSimian:
I quoted it verbatim above. It doesn't contain anything useful, just what I quoted above. But attached as requested.

Only two lines. I don't think I've seen that before.

SoftwareSimian:
I downloaded today's binaries and the problem persists, so it wasn't just a compilation glitch.

Yes, ufoconsole.log just contains two lines, always the same two lines, but the timestamp at the start of each line is changed on each launch, so it must be clearing the file and rewriting the log on each launch.

The path noted in the log (C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\UFOAI/2.5-dev/base/keys.cfg) is correct (mixed slashes aside), but that directory does not contain keys.cfg
