Do you have a creative sound card? It seems like creative has some issues with their OpenAL implementation for some of their sound cards, try downloading this dll: http://hammerwatch.com/OpenAL32.dll and putting it in your hammerwatch folder.

I do (Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium HD), and that fixed it, thank you! As a test, I moved OpenAL32.dll out of the folder again and the game stopped working, so that definitely seems to be the problem.

As a reminder, I never had a config.xml. I created one with the following contents:

Code: [Select]

<Resolution>
<Width>800</Width>
<Height>600</Height>
<Fullscreen>false</Fullscreen>
<LetterBox>false</LetterBox>
</Resolution>
(Found that at http://steamcommunity.com/app/239070/discussions/0/864976115142371272/)

So now it looks like this:

Code: [Select]

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">
    <supportedRuntime version="v4.0"/>
  </startup>
</configuration>
<Options>
</Options>
<Resolution>
<Width>800</Width>
<Height>600</Height>
<Fullscreen>false</Fullscreen>
<LetterBox>false</LetterBox>
</Resolution>

Unfortunately the game still won't start.
I just ran the game with the "log" argument and obtained a logfile, which is attached. It doesn't seem to contain any useful information except for that fact that it says "failed loading config.xml" which is no surprise since the file doesn't exist or was redacted by me and is probably incomplete.

Yep, the editor seems to work.

Thanks for your reply. I did what you said, but it didn't help, unfortunately.

My friend just gifted me the game and it won't start at all.
When I start it, it just says the program stopped working. I've tried using various compatibility modes or running it as an admin, no luck.
I also read various posts about messing with config.xml, so I tried that, but the file doesn't even seem to exist. I created it manually, but that didn't help. I took a look inside Event Viewer and found errors logged from .NET Runtime with the following details:

Application: Hammerwatch.exe

Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.

Not sure where to go from there. Here are my specs:

16 GB RAM
Radeon HD 7970 (Catalyst 13.8b2)
Windows 8 Pro x64
