GIANTS Editor v7.1.0 64bit crashes at startup

Post by kitibob »

Hi,
Whenever I launch the Giants editor, the startup dialogue comes up and then crashes. The log looks like this:

and is followed by several hundred more lines of "Error: Failed to create render texture. Status: 36055.".

I've tried the older version compatible with FS15 but I couldn't see any objects in the viewport when i3d files were loaded. I'm now working on mods for FS17.

Any help would be massively appreciated.

Thanks in advance, Kit.

Thought i'd add this:

The bar at the top where the interface buttons should be never shows up. Not sure if this will help. I've also tried on 7.0.0, and opening an i3d file with it rather than starting it alone, and this didn't make any difference.

I'm not too sure but I have read posts here before saying that Giants editor is more demanding than the game so maybe it won't run on integrated graphics?

Did it work for you previously or is this the first time you're trying to use this version of the editor?

I had some problems with GE after I had used it for a bit. Can't remember the specifics, but it kept crashing every time I opened it. It had worked before that. I went into:
C:\Users\myname\AppData\Local\GiantsEditor64bit\ and changed the editor.xml file to editor.xml.back. That forced GE to recreate that file and then everything worked fine. You can also clean out the shader_cache folder in the same directory.

Not sure if any of that will help if you've never gotten GE to work, however.
