Game crashes after Gamma settings

[Mudbill]

Did you name it .mat or .map ? That's an important difference.

The log says that it now fails to load level 1 from the game, which must mean that it didn't find the new menu map and went straight to the next in the list.

I named it .map

That is what the old file was named, so I figured that is what the system would look for.

Something is definitely wrong with the map loading though, since level 1 also fails. But where it fails is hard to say, since it didn't seem to try the empty map.

Wait, hang on, you changed your config file to skip the menu. That's why it went straight to level 1. Could you undo that? ShowMenu="true"

I did change the config file ShowMenu = "true" Then I reapplied the "fake" menu_bp.map Then I started the game and SURPRISE I managed to get to the menu and even start from my old game which I tried. The game showed me the heart and then the window closed.
I tried starting the game again, and the same happened. Game crashes now after menu which is progress in my eyes

I was going to give you you 2 hpl.log files, one for each attempt, but I messed up with location of the first one and then accidentally deleted it.

Then we at least know that it doesn't fail loading maps, it just seems to fail loading some maps, which unfortunately may seem like all the default ones. There must be something specific in those maps that's causing it, but I can't think of what. Maybe someone else has an idea.

I still say this is a progress, and hopefully someone will have an idea.

Thank you very much for the help, I really appreciated

I have uninstalled the game, no reason to keep it if I can't play it.

Sorry to hear we couldn't fix it..
The solution might still be floating out there in the void, but we seem to have hit a hard stop.

These things happen, thank you very much for your help and the time to look at my problem, I really appreciated it.
