Okay but you still didn't answer what did you actually do to make it work?

What was actually preventing the game to launch to menu past the "Loading Block Textures" and how did your ".dll" unstuck it?

This kind of inforamtion could be vital too if it's a simple fix that Fun Pimps could pull off themselves if they wanted to.

 

 

Yes, i just removed the joystick effect calls and now they just don't work. Unfortunately I'm not sure if I cleaned up the code 100%, so there are quite possible cases of console opening.


in fact, it doesn't matter what reason prevents the original code from working on Win7.
What's important is that only one bug separates Win7 and Win11 users from the full functionality of the game.
Only one bug, Carl...

That may be, but malicious groups can easily act like they were "individuals".

 

I'll tell you more - I'm Russian, and I definitely plan to vote online when electing the US president

This is my fix, i am a modder (you can see what kind of mod i am making in my profile), i often make such edits in dll-files.
Dll-files are not as dangerous as antivirus manufacturers tell you - no one will individually engage in malicious activity. The maximum danger that a file being modified like this carries is disappointment from a sudden error if you start playing.
By the way, i am not sure that everything works as it should - i made this file in order to simply launch the game and begin adapting my mod. Use this file simply to see what's new in v1.0... while some are busy discriminating operating systems based on age

Here is a corrected dll-file for v1.0 exp (b312) that people with similar problems can use temporarily.

(I am not sure about full functionality - because i did not conduct long-term tests. Use at your own risk).

That would be because the Stable version active on Steam is still Alpha 21.2. As of V1.0 Windows 7 is not supported. It hasn't been supported for almost six months already by Steam, so that should tell you something.

So, in the end, you want to say that the code related to "joystick" servicing works fine?

Just a note. Windows 7 is not supported.

Win7 support is still declared by the developers on the steam page.
I have exactly the same problem. For the sake of experiment, i changed the code by removing the controller calls and as a result the game started. The current error is related to incorrect controller support and not to the operating system. The driver version also does not matter in a particular situation.

Experienced modders will probably be able to release a patch to solve this problem, but something tells me that the developers should do it themselves. Just fix the problem, it is done quite easily, and do not look for excuses.

Windows 7 is no longer supported, and your GPU driver is extremely outdated. (Most likely because of the obsolete OS.)

The error in the log seems to indicate a controller/mapping issue, but that could just be a red herring created by running the client on an unsupported system.
