New Computer won't run...
I picked up a new computer, running Windows 10. And I can't get it to run UL (Still have my old one, so I'm not out of the game). I keep getting a message that UL had to close (occurs immediately on launch) because it can't open the .out file. Any suggestions from anyone?

All I know there is that is your log file, I had to set mine to always open them with notepad++ when I upgraded to win10.

Re: New Computer won't run...
The computer I just bought also runs Windows 10, but I never had an issue running UL... So I'm a bit curious what's going on with yours.

Re: New Computer won't run...
I've got it set up so that it'll open the .out files manually with Notepad, but the game still won't launch (tried different compatibility modes, and a couple of graphics settings. Same error each time). Any other suggestions?

Re: New Computer won't run...
Just throwing this out there, I'm not a computer wiz, but did you try running it as administrator? That sometimes fixes things.

Re: New Computer won't run...
Underlight didn't have permission to write to your log file. Best bet is to install UL to your "C:\Users\ArnayaIsAPunk" profile folder. Shouldn't have any write issues there.
Otherwise you need to configure your UAC to allow writing into your folder or run as Administrator.

Re: New Computer won't run...
That's a screen resolution error, your monitor doesn't support the default screen settings. Let me look up the registry edit to fix it for you.

Re: New Computer won't run...
LOL, Sidas. I'm glad to see you haunting the forums again, welcome back
And thank you Uthanatos, I never know what these error messages are. Usually I get one of my roomies to look at it, but the one that knows a little bit about computers isn't home

Re: New Computer won't run...
Sorry Sidas, I don't have any other OS disks right now, and the last one I downloaded caused some.... problems. Even after doing a full virus check on it and everything (and, I've never been able to get a Vbox to work right. Shared folders don't work, etc...

Re: New Computer won't run...
If you can get the login screen up, then you can adjust your video settings there, if not, then using regedit, HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Lyra\Underlight\1.0 edit the resolution to hex value 400. As mentioned in the thread Sidas linked, multiple monitors and windowed mode can cause issues as well, though I haven't experienced those.

Re: New Computer won't run...
WOOT!!! Got it. There was a setting changed, hidden away in the properties, that I don't remember selecting or changing. Looks like I can get in now on a computer that Doesn't drop connection every 10 minutes
