No log seems rather unlikely. Are you possibly looking in the wrong place?
Also https://issues.hedgewars.org is best place to report and track problems.

My Documents/Logs/game0.log

Would be where that log would be.

Also, be sure to test quick simple local game against AI to rule out network issues.

And, see if there's a more recent version of your graphics driver on the ATI or nVidia or Intel website, and see if there's an option to roll back to an older one if an update of it occurred recently.

Hey there!

I'm having the exact same issue. No logs here either and I can't generate them because as the first post states the game won't even start. The splash screen opens and closes without any further information. Didn't have this happen before on the same system but after reinstalling Windows and the game this issue occurred.

Driver for my graphic card and any other related hardware is up to date on this system. Any help and diagnostic suggestions are appreciated

So... just to be super clear.
Is it the *game* which isn't starting or the frontend?

That is, are you able to get to an app with the hedgewars logo, but it's clicking on the quick start AI battle or similar that fails?

Same problem here after the Windows 1809 update...

The front-end does not load: it shows the logo of hedgewars for about 5-10 seconds and just exits.

My laptop is an old Sony VIAO, all drivers are at the latest versions (but those are quite old); the onboard ATI is officially not supported in Windows 10 but works). Hedgewars worked fine before the update; have not yet encountered other programs that stopped working. I may be looking in the wrong place but there is no log file in "My Documents\Hedgewars\logs". I tried running it as administrator and in compatibility mode for Windows 7, both to no avail (same behaviour).

Anything else I can try? Thanks!

Apparently microsoft is withdrawing the 1809 update because it broke a ton more stuff than just us.

But, alfadur checked in a workaround for Hedgewars - getting it into release would require a rebuild though, and maybe better to just release next version. I'd hope to get creeper in, but, eh, whatever.

FWIW, issue was in physfs.

Since microsoft withdrew it, not sure where we stand now. Should alfadur's workaround stand? Maybe should retest with next release whenever microsoft does that... Maybe should delay our release..

Great to hear the issue is found! Also not sure if to roll it out or not... Perhaps wait till it a fixed 1809 rolls out again and see if the issue still exists?
(of course I cleaned my harddisk so I cannot rollback the 1809 update, so I have to hope there are no other issues and that things will get fixed soon from MS side)

Same problem

My Windows updated its 1809 update with the latest fix. The Hedgewars problem still remains though...

Here the same problem. Even after the latest fix indeed.

Yeah, looks like alfadur's workaround will still be necessary.
What they fixed appears to be unrelated.
It seems like the MS patch is still buggy, but odds of them addressing it at this point, not high.

Will just have to do a new release...

alfadur has built his workaround if anyone wants to drop it into their 0.9.24 install to test it.

At your own risk etc etc, but hey, it's not working right now right ☺

Dammit guys... how am I supposed to get any work done this weekend?

(in case you are wondering: the fix worked )

Thanks!

@nemo, I can confirm this workaround is working on a x64 Windows 10 1809 version with Hedgewars version 0.9.24.1!
Thanks for so far. Looking for the fix being implemented in a new official release!

Yes, I have also faced the same problem with this because when I started this game on my HP laptops its shows an error 0xc0000225 and I want to resolve this problem. Have any idea than suggest me.

(edited to remove garbage blogspam pseudo-techsupport link - nemo)

Assuming this is a real request, try using the fixed DLLs referenced in prior comments.
Or wait for next release.

I just install Windows 10 1809 and Hedgewars won´t works. I replaced dll and works fine.

Thanks!

Hi,

I found that Hedgewars 0.9.24.1 would not start after Windows 10 updated to version 1809 yesterday. However, I just applied the .dll fix and it now appears to run fine again.

I tried Hedgewars 0.9.25 today and that appears to have the same problem (won't start). Is there any way to apply the fix to this version, as the .dll files are different?

Hopefully, the changes to fix this issue can be incorporated into the next release.

Many Thanks.

Oops. Looks like we'll be needing a new 0.9.25 windows release.
Damn you microsoft and your half-assed patches breaking your own APIs

0.9.25.1?

Eh... It's just microsoft breaking junk. Doesn't warrant a point release. No desyncing etc.
unc0rr repackaged and uploaded the windows installer.

Just downloaded and installed the updated Hedgewars 0.9.25 and it is now working fine for me on Windows 10 version 1809. Many thanks for resolving this issue.

My feelings, exactly!

Good to hear this issue has been resolved.

I just started having this same problem on version 0.9.25. Windows version 10.0.17763.379

Reinstalling fixed it.
