OpenBOR won't launch on Windows 7 (x64)

[Davi148]

I downloaded OpenBOR V3.0 Build 6319 and it just won't launch when i execute OpenBOR.exe, does anyone know what could be causing this?

Hi Davi148 and welcome to the forum.
This is absolutely normal if the Openbor engine has nothing to load like a pak or datas.

It's like having a motor but without wheels or any other mechanic to make moving .

Hey
It does have Pak Files
I tried AvengersUnitedBattleForce.pak, to be more specific.

Also, i tried a older version of OpenBOR before and it did work, but it won't run all the games i wanna play, so i was told to update OpenBOR to see if that would fix the issue,
The build i'm referring to is OpenBOR 3.0 Build 6391

What can i do?

Can you take a look at logs/Openborlog.txt and tell us if any error is written here?

 

[msmalik681]

did you download it from the github releases page ?

edit: tested it on wine with windows 7 comparability and it worked just fine.

Hey guys,

Sorry for the late response
But i tried the same OpenBOR build on another PC and it worked just fine, same files downloaded from the same github page.
What happens with this PC is that OpenBOR.exe appears in the task manager, but nothing shows up and then it just disappears.

This is what it says in OpenBorLog.txt

I guess this information won't help much, but thank you for you attention and for taking your time to help me

Sometimes, the antivirus block a new application that it didn't know. It can be the source of your problem.

My Antivirus is Avast, I Turned it off and tried to launch OpenBOR, The same problem still occurs.

Can you share your build? I will make some tests to see if the same problem occurs.

Sure, The version is 3.0 Build 6391, The only older version that i tried and worked so far is Build 4453 (Still glitches a few new games).
