Paraworld doesn't launch
Re: Paraworld doesn't launch
Hey, okay Yeah my firewall's on but when I had the option to allow features of ParaWorld through it I chose yes, and I'm using Microsoft Security Essentials anti-virus.

Re: Paraworld doesn't launch
You can try this tool:
http://www.para-welt.com/download_main/ ... ttings.exe
It will open your settings file. Search for "ScreenMode". It looks like that for me:
You could try changing it to a different resolution (that is actually supported by your machine and is not the current Desktop resolution) and set FullScreen to 0.
http://www.para-welt.com/download_main/ ... ttings.exe
It will open your settings file. Search for "ScreenMode". It looks like that for me:
Code: Select all
ScreenMode {
FullScreen = '1'
Width = '1920'
Height = '1080'
}
I've never seen code like this.

Re: Paraworld doesn't launch
This is the only place it found ScreenMode:
Should I set the SetScreenMode to 0? Not sure what that'll do as it doesn't say anything about fullscreen and resolution. Thanks for helping for so long also
Code: Select all
AutoConfig {
Enable = '0'
SetGfxDetail = '1'
SetFixes = '1'
SetCaches = '1'
SetScreenMode = '1'
Rating {
RAMAmount = '1.000000'
RAMSpeed = '1.509434'
CPUSpeed = '1.000000'
GFXCaps = '0.975000'
GPUFillRate = '4915.200195'
}

Re: Paraworld doesn't launch
The only place? This is the first occurence of ScreenMode for me too, but the second one is what I posted. But you don't have it?
Hm. You should be able to insert the block I posted right below the first line
of the file. Of course you have to adapt the values to your system.

Re: Paraworld doesn't launch
Thanks Ayce, I guess the game had not created a profile yet. Not sure why though. Enjoy PW

Re: Paraworld doesn't launch
A profile maybe, but I think it only saves these values either once the options are saved or the game is started successful for the first time. These are in the settings-file not the userprofile-file.
Great to hear that it works.

Re: Paraworld doesn't launch
Hey there,
I'm trying to play paraworld on my P.C which is running windows 8. I've been through so many efforts trying to get this game to work and all have failed. I realised that norton kept targeting the executable .exe file for some reason so when I try to load the game it has to be turned off otherwise it thinks it's a trojan.
I've downloaded the booster pack and win7 fix and still nothing, ran everything I can think of in compatibility modes but still nothing. The mouse wheel spins and then back to normal. As if something stopped it or it failed.
I played this game about 2 or 3 years ago on the same P.C and didn't have an issue. But now there seems to be some problem that I can't figure out and i've been at it all day. Would really appreciate if you guys could help me out,
Cheers

Re: Paraworld doesn't launch
Hi!
Are you the guy with all those dino related stuff on youtube (and using paraworld music here and there, time and again)?
Anyways the best option would be to visit http://www.para-welt.com/tavern/ and i/we could help you in real time, but i would suggest installing teamviewer (if you don't have anything against it)
Keep up the good work on youtube!

Re: Paraworld doesn't launch
Hey all!
So I have a windows 10, and I'm encountering the same problems. I've downloaded the boosterpack and I've installed Paraworld before. However, I can't find the win7fix link. Additionally, does win7fix work with windows 10?
Thanks!

I tried that link, but got a 404 Error on dropbox. Is there another link?
thanks!
Re: Paraworld doesn't launch
interesting, up until now it was working, but maybe its connected to the change regarding public folders (public folders don't work anymore in dropbox since March 15th)

Re: Paraworld doesn't launch

Re: Paraworld doesn't launch
hi Roughcompany! Unless you have the digital version from GamersGate or another site (i don't remember which, just that it was german), you need to install win7fix. But before doing that, download and install the boosterpack (the last official addon from the developer). Install them in this particular sequence, otherwise the boosterpack overwrites the fix.

Re: Paraworld doesn't launch
Hi and thanks for tanking the time to replay to someone like me, thanks MrMorgana. Well I think my stupidity is about to really show, so what file do I install the boosterpack into, the bin or something else. The more direct and blunt you are the better, LOL sorry in advanced. Ill try and see if I can just figure it out
Re: Paraworld doesn't launch
the file you download is an installer, which should find the location of your paraworld from the registry, and should automatically install itself there. Anyways the boosterpack should be in Data folder. If you are unsure if it is installed correctly, come to para-welt.com/tavern

Re: Paraworld doesn't launch
Well is their a time and date were people will be in the tavern? My sleep schedule is kinda off because I work night. If push comes to shove, I could just give up and watch other people play it.
Re: Paraworld doesn't launch
now it is easter time, so someone will be available in tavern, starting tomorrow.
come to tavern either on Friday or Saturday please, and install teamviewer for worst case scenario
