I got it installed and everything, but when I try to launch an IWAD, Windows tells me it has encountered an error and needs to shut down, followed by asking me to send an error report or not. :(
I've tried several different ways to install it, but I still get the same error massage. :(
If anybody could walk me through it, I'd really appreciate it. If you guys have to explain it to me as if I were mentally handicapped, I don't mind. I just want it to run. :(

I never installed Risen3d so I dunno whats going on. Maybe it doesn't like where you have your iwads?

The Risen3D readme's are quite instructive. Assuming you have the launcher, and R3Dlauncher.exe is in C:\Risen3D\ and your IWADS in C:\Risen3D\Data\ folder and you check base games in the launcher , then all should be fine. Remember also that Risen3D is ONLY for Doom type games NOT Heretic or Hexen. *book*

I did exacty as you said, but when I clicked on an IWAD to play, it did the exact same thing as before.:(
EDIT: The only I can get anything to run is by using the Rised3D.exe file in the C:\Risen3D\bin\ folder, but it's windowed, and I can't disable the mouse or play it full screen.:(

i keep the IWADS (Doom,DoomII,) in C:\Risen3d, it seems the Launcher automatically sees them there. also if your not familiar how to install pwads to a directory, then install a zipped pwad into the archive folder, right click it(in the laucher) and select UNZIP TO UDIR-AUTO LOADER.hope this solves your problem

It's doing the same thing. It doesn't matter where I put the IWADS, when I click on an IWAD in the Launcher, that error message pops up. :(
I'm putting my IWADS in compliant folders. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong.:(

the only time that happened to me. is when the IWADs (doom,doom2) wads got corrupted somehow, so i copied and pasted the iwads from the Doom,Doom2 cd's again and ther error stopped!....

hmm, go to the Risen3d website, should be an email addy to send a problem report, first you need to ZIP up the OUTFILE in the risen3d main directory, then attach it to the mail. hopefully Graham can figure it out.
btw ver-57 Risen3d is posted

.....or email Abbs as he is the creator of the Launcher...

Sounds daft but it might be a virus! I had the same thing happen to me and i checked me HD and found a virus.
