Game launches with .bat but not with .exe O.o
« on: April 05, 2020, 08:26:11 PM »

So... my game right after install, worked fine using the .exe, although it was awfully slow.

So I remembered the memory trick... and edited the vmparams.

Now it only launches with .bat file inside the "starsector-core" folder, using the .exe outside that folder doesn't work, at all.

The .exe uses vmparams, while the .bat file has the parameters inside it - so, this means that whatever you did with vmparams, the game isn't liking.

If the game is awfully slow, it might be running on the integrated graphics card

My machine doesn't have one. I mean, it is a intel chip so it probably has intel graphics, but I think it is disabled in the bios.

What are your system specs and mod list?

A quick way of finding out the most relevant specs is to hit the [windows key + r] and the type in

dxdiag

If it is your first time typing it in it will take a little bit to configure itself, but the information like memory, processor, OS (and in one case pagefile) should be there.
