I have linked to the version with audio which also fixed the bug for some users if you want to play the game, but as I said in the update, please only rate the submitted build (even if it didn't work for you, I'd rather the feedback be honest and negative than cheat to get better feedback)."},{"author_name":"xilefian","author_uid":"8561","time":"Jan 3, 2012 @ 4:32pm","epoch":1325608020,"text":"Long intro was very very annoying.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I'm afraid I got the instant game-over bug too, there is also no way to close the program (Tried Alt F4 which works for me with other allegro-made titles), when I did manage to close it I got a &quot;Program Stopped Working&quot; error."},{"author_name":"philhassey","author_uid":"2","time":"Jan 6, 2012 @ 4:06am","epoch":1325822460,"text":"MSVCR100 not found :(  I can't run the installer."},{"author_name":"kutuup1989","author_uid":"8490","time":"Jan 6, 2012 @ 6:56pm","epoch":1325875860,"text":"@philhassey You need to install the redist package included in the game folder.

I have added a note to the start of the game reminding users of this. This version is solely for demonstration of how the game would have been had I added audio during the competition and is NOT a new submission or entry.\r\n\r\nThis build also fixes a bug in the entry version where some users encountered instant game overs. Users with this issue can play this build if they wish to see the game, but please rate only the competition build, even if the game didn't work for you.\r\n\r\nPlease only judge the build which was entered for the contest as it represents the work done during the contest.\r\n\r\n************************************************************\r\n\r\nUpdate 2:\r\n\r\n************************************************************\r\n\r\nI have tried the game on every computer I can get my hands on from a netbook to a full on gaming rig built for Crysis type games and none have presented the instant game over bug :S Can anyone experiencing the bug comment with what rig they are using because I simply can't replicate the error, even when running the game on the checkout computers at work! Since a number of people stated that they saw a \"run...\" button (which is actually just a text box that displays for a few seconds, not a button) I even tried mashing the mouse all over the text box in case clicking was the problem and still no error on any of the machines! Please, if you experience this problem post up what rig you are using so I can investigate further!\r\n\r\n************************************************************\r\n\r\nUpdate 3\r\n\r\n************************************************************\r\n\r\nAs stated in the readme file, if you get an \"MSVCR100.dll missing\" error when you try to run the program, please install the redist package included in the game folder.\r\n\r\n************************************************************<\/p>","title":"Starlighter"}
