Hello,
I've discovered New Horizons just recently and I wanted to give it a go. Sadly though, I can't make it work.
Firstly, I had to run the normal game using win98 compatibility with intel fix, or else it would stutter and play very slowly (without the fix it wouldn't launch at all). After downloading the Build 14 part 1 and 2, following the instructions on how to install it and trying to launch the game, I get a black screen right after the loading screen appearing at the end of intro. My game isn't installed inside any Program Files directory, I've adjusted the resolution in engine.ini, tried running the game with different compatibility settings, as well as without any and the result is still the same. Intro, loading screen with spinning coin, black screen.
Important notice (I think), I've changed the seadogs.c file a bit to omit the erroneous install error (just removed the part of the code responsible for the error check), since there were completely no errors during the installation itself, and some other thread on this forum suggested that it was a false call. Before doing that, I was getting the mentioned error upon launching the game.
There is no error.log file anywhere in the directory, the compile.log and system.log are in the attachment.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
