Okay, @ArThor, I popped back into Windows, and here's the output that I get, I believe:

Console output:

Started adding a review; I can't set Audio to 0? (it says invalid audio input) I wanted to set it to 0 since the game has no sound and I do have to make a choice. I set it to 1 then.

I'm having trouble testing some games made in Unreal, such as Domino Castle. The game works for some minutes and then I'm getting the error I attach.

I found this thread with some workarounds: https://answers.unrealengine.com/questions/545292/unreal-engine-is-exiting-due-to-d3d-device-being-l-3.html

I've tried the first with no success. Some people say that unchecking "Real-Time Thumbnails" in UE made the engine more stable...

Also, can I edit my review (and change the scores?)

GLDebug.txt:

 

Interesting. I might be wrong but are you from mainland Europe? I'm guessing this is a locale issue, I've saved the games data in .txt files and the floating point values have a '.' for the decimal point, Do you use ',' instead?

It would be a pain, but if you really wanted to give the game a try you could try replacing the numerical values with . to , or whatever you use. Find and replace would change the file paths though so you would need to be careful with them. Aliens.txt, Weapons.txt and 1 to 5.txt in the maps folder would need changing and it might not actually be the problem.

I'd provide adjusted files and/or a more robust .exe if it wasn't a competition.  See edit

Obviously don't feel obliged to do any of that, its my fault!

Edit: I've edited the files to create a "comma" version of the suspected problem files, which I can provide if it isn't considered inappropriate.

@Ludologists: Sorry about the vote, I wanted to simply add a message that the game closes after starting, but I have to set most criteria to a value <> 0.

We really need a way to keep a criterium unset. I can't vote Audio if a game has no sound or pretty much anything when it crashes out right. But I at least want to leave a info for the developers.

I'm from South Africa, actually. That said, I'm honestly not sure of what my computer's current settings are regarding decimal points, especially over in my Windows installation (which I barely use). ^^;

It's tempting to try it--well, why not, I suppose. PM me a link to the new files, and I'll hopefully do so later tonight. No guarantees, but I'd like to give it a shot, I think.

Actually, I'm inclined to argue that a vote of zero makes sense in most such cases (I suspect that it's the reason that at least some of my reviews were being rejected).

That said, if there's a particular reason for a game to lack sound then a "N/A" value might indeed be useful, so I would like to see such a value made available.

Yes, I'd vote 0 too, but the judging site won't let me submit 0 values.

I believe that it's a bug, and one that Slicer is aware of; I'm not sure of whether they're looking into it at the moment or not. @slicer4ever?

At the time, I wasn't aware that I should be looking there. I only found it after noticing the more obviously-placed installer in Castle Spaceships and going hunting in your directory, as I recall.

AFAIK It should have popped up if it was needed, But it can't hurt to manually start it.
