Can't start windows version, and PSP version gets stuck at "loading primitives" infinitely

[Saftur]

I'm using Windows 10. I've tried installing visual studio redistributables, and I've tried running in compatibility mode, but it just does nothing every time I try to start it. I get a loading cursor for a few seconds, but it soon goes away, and nothing else happens, not even an error window.

As for the PSP version; I'm not using CFW. I've tried using both the normal & unsigned EBOOT files. It gets stuck on "loading primitives" with both. Also, I would think if there's one called "UNSIGNED", then the other one is signed and I can run it directly from the PSP menu, but it says it's corrupted, and I have to launch it through HBL.

Hi,

About the PSP i'm afraid the CPU and the RAM of your model are not enough to run the last version of game, i tried the PSP version just on PSVita with Adrenaline Emulator. You can try to manually remove some sets and cards from Res/sets folder, it could be helpful maybe.

About Win 10 i don't know, it's working fine on both my laptop with that OS, without any other detail i don't have idea how to be helpful, try to install all the following dependencies:

Also, no need to use compatibility mode and be sure the exe is in the same folder with the DLL contained in the zip file.

See you.

Ah, sorry about my lack of details, I'm not used to reporting issues like this.

Here are my redistributables right now:

Here are some details, I'm not sure what else I should give: Processor: Intel I7 RAM: 16 GB System type: 64 bit OS & processor Windows version: Windows 10 Home; Version 2004 GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB

Also, how come the regular EBOOT doesn't work without HBL? I've used an older version of wagic, and it worked without HBL.

[Saftur]

I tried removing a bunch of sets on the PSP version. Now it doesn't even get to the "loading primitives" screen.

[Vitty85]

About HBL, try to use the unsigned eboot.

About removing sets you have to remove even primitives, and also I cannot promise it will ever work on PSP, the RAM is really less on that device and now the number of cards and sets is really increased comparing to older versions. I’m thinking it can work only on PSVita with Adrenaline nowadays.

About win 10 I still don’t know what’s wrong with your pc, I tried on 3 different pc and I have no issue, the exe is starting without any difficulties... can you start the exe in command shell to see if there is a trace of the error? Just open cmd.exe, go to Wagic folder and run Wagic.exe to see what it will show on command line.

See you.

[Saftur]

I'll just give up on the PSP version then. As for the windows version, it doesn't say anything when I run it in cmd.

[Vitty85]

Just to try, select all the dlls in the folder of game and drag them over the exe file, it should force it to reload them, I really have no idea what’s wrong actually...

[Saftur]

That didn't work either.

I might try to compile the source myself later, might be able to figure something out that way.

[Vitty85]

Sure you can compile with VS10.

Just to be sure you download the 0.22.3 release from this link? https://github.com/WagicProject/wagic/releases/download/wagic-v0.22.3/WagicWindows-0223.zip

I just download it and extract again and it worked, so strange...

[Saftur]

Yeah, that's the link I used.

[Saftur]

I tried redownloading it just now, and it seems like when I run it for the first time, I get a Windows Smartscreen popup, but it still does nothing after that.

[Vitty85]

Can you screenshot that ?

[Saftur]

[Vitty85]

Can you try to disable windows defender before to launch exe?

[Saftur]

I disabled SmartScreen, and now it says this, and still does nothing even if I click "run": This is the thing I disabled: I don't really see any option to disable Defender in its entirety.

[Vitty85]

You extract the zip right? Can you screenshot the folder of exe?

[Saftur]

[Vitty85]

Seems correct... can you try to run with admin privileges? Also to close defender it’s enough to kill process with task manager.

[Saftur]

Admin privileges didn't work. And to be honest, I'm a little reluctant to kill the defender process. I'd rather just try building it myself later.

[Vitty85]

I got it, let me know if it works, I can also try to build files in debug mode and send you new exe and dlls.

See you.

Just want to chime in and say that I used to also have the issue where the game would not start on Windows 10, and there was no indication as to why. But running it as administrator fixed the issue.

[Vitty85]

Ok,

I’m my pc I don’t have to use admin privileges…

By the way I guess I fixed also the psp version problem, you should follow these steps:

Download the latest version of Wagic for PSP from official link. Delete (or reduce a lot) the file "collection.dat" from your "User/player" folder. Download the file "LimitedCardList.txt" (https://github.com/WagicProject/wagic/releases/latest/download/LimitedCardList.txt) and copy it into your "User" folder. Rename or remove the "graphics" sub-folder in your Res folder (of course you should firstly unzip the core file). Download the file "graphicsPSP.zip" (https://mega.nz/file/6DYmTZ7Z#UiFcMs4rm3PM4OH3w1cjQmS8-P7XGJ8EUrg0Ta9A4OY) and extract it into your "Res" folder. Use the default theme with no audio. Start the game. See you.

Perhaps I spoke too soon - oddly enough, it appears to no longer work, even with admin privileges. Maybe the real reason it worked once, is that I opened it soon after startup, before some Windows process was loaded to shut it down? Oh well.

[Vitty85]

Can be, maybe it's your defender or something like that...

Well, disabling defender didn't help, but setting compatibility to windows 7 seemed to fix the issue consistently for current and past versions of wagic. NICE!

[Vitty85]

Nice, I’m happy you found a solution!
