The Program Will Refuse To Play

Recommended Posts

First off, I thank the people for the replies from my recent topic.

The title says it all. Last night, I was almost done completing Rock Hard when a glitch caused the game to crash unexpectedly. I decided that it was better to complete the mission tomorrow because...

1. I now have plenty of time (Fall break).

2. It was really late (Around 1:00 AM or so).

The next day, I run the program and found out that it didn't play the LEGO Media opening. I tried this several times, but it didn't work. Now I'm down to just only one option and that is to reinstall Rock Raiders.

I will be taking suggestions.

DO IT DO IT DO DO DO DO IT

I have to agree with this HIGHLY unformulated sequence of words.

If it just spazed out randomly, you best bet is to backup your save folder (so you don't lose your progress) and then reinstall the game and put the save folder back.

It's weird though; I hate when you can't explain a bug or glitch that renders a program useless out of the blue.

Can you be more specific as to what happened? I think it might have something to do with your video codecs but I'm not 100% sure.

So his video codec got corrupted overnight?

Anyways, that doesn't stop the game from playing, it just makes the videos play as sound.

It can, especially if he installed a program that added/updated some codecs. I had a similar problem and it turned out that FRAPS had corrupted the .avi codec when I installed it. The solution was to uninstall and then reinstall and then the intro movies played fine. And no, if the video codec is corrupted, it won't be able to play any of the file, sound included.

Sorry, I was thinking of Windows Media Player. It does the above. LRR just skips the videos.

Anyways I've only ever had it skip them so this appears to be complete failure in the codecs rather than not supporting it.

The problem is fixed. The video codecs conflicted with DivX on my laptop. I realized that this had nothing to do with the glitch at all.

For the sake of archiving, what did you do to fix it?

I just uninstalled DivX. Simple.
