Ouch! Cant load normal puzzle too!

Second log.

And 3rd log from yet another puzzle (contest comeback).
CANT PLAY!

OS: XP SP3 32bit
Proc: Intel P4 3.0GHz
RAM: 1GB
vid: R HD4650
plenty of space on HDD.

First crashes from long time :)

And after "fresh download" first intro puzzle appear and client crash when tried to pull SS.

And after system reboot IT crashed again on 1st intro puzzle when pulling second SS...

Same for me with Windows XP 5.1 and Intel Core 2

Switched to "beta" package, 1st intro appears, exited to menu and crashed on load "all hands".

Are these all occurring only on Windows?

Looks alike.
Confirmed on chat working linux by thom002 and working mac by aunt_deen.

Just downloaded fresh install and skipped update to play :)

Crashes under Win 7 pro x64 also.

Perhaps it dont like french regional option like comma in numbers.
It works for me with english regional options

YES!
There is problem when windows locale settings NOT have "." (point) as decimal separator.
I change mine "," to "." and game is working. :)
PLZ fix it asap :)
IE just add a paremater -nolocale to exe file ;]

rav3n_pl, thanks for you figuring it out we can recreate the problem in lab conditions. Fix will be coming out soon.

Credit goes to Marie, I only followed hers hunch :)

I have the same problem this morning with foldit with windows 7

I have the same problem this morning with foldit with windows 7

Hi
Foldit this morning 28 / 1 /2011 download update on my computer. And problem arrive. I have to restart all the level. Level one when I want drag sidechains foldit close., so I have to open again Foldit put password and restart same thing foldit close. When I want improve the loop, no possible to get the protein, and foldit close.
Cordially.
Lionel.

Problem:
- foldit client crashes after update when loading puzzle or when try to move side chain in intro puzzle
- you have NOT English windows and/or non-english regional options

Cause (probably):
- client use regional options when importing scoring database(s)
- database use "." as decimal, regional options have another sign

WORKAROUND:
- open control panel
- open "regional options" applet
- change decimal character to "." (dot) or language to English (apply!)
- run client, load puzzle
- you may change back regional options

You need to change regional options always b4 you run client.

Tested on XP SP3 32 bit.

Somebody knows how to to this on apple computer ?

It crashes on linux too when using another locale that en_US.
To avoid that, run a terminal then type :

export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
./Foldit

This should change your locale only for the terminal session and Foldit.

yesterday it didn't work.
This morning it was working.
This afternoon, it doesn't work again.
I'm on Mac.
Can you explain me why?
tx

Works for MAC - Snow Leopard!

Had to change region to United-Kingdom!

Where do i change? 'In langage and script' for all mu computer? or can i choose only for foldit?

I put english too but it still crashes when i click on the puzzle

the problem is that before i had no crash, so something happened but what?

ok i understood, i changed finally the region!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

D'ac. Now that I have customized control panel from French/Canada regional formatting to English, I can resume play -solely in English. But, surely, this was not the objective of the translation initiative ???

Now mine is crashing - not sure if this is any use Win 7 64bit

Thanks

to assign again at Ilya

I just had a Crash again when trying to load Puzzle 396. I changed the decimal Separator form , to . in the regional Settings and it works again.

I though that was fixed with the Update that came earlier today?

Happens for me on a german Win7 HomePremium, too. I would very much have wanted to try the game, but can't.

Cheers,

Rob

I reloaded foldit, but as before I could load level 1-1 but it crashes when I pull on the right chain. The left can be rotated. One cannot switch to the other levels. There is no chance to enjoy Foldit!

We've posted an update that should address this crash by disabling translation.

Great! I just received an update and I can go through level 1. Thank you!

Works for me too :)

foldit has been repeatedly abending. This last time, I've included the crash logs (as collected by Microsoft) if helpful. Thanks!

AppName: foldit.exe AppVer: 0.0.0.0 ModName: game_library.dll

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>

let me add that data again as an attachment since it was truncated.

foldit continues to crash. I've attached a second crash report. I will stop playing until someone has a chance to look into this. I can't play more than a few minutes before it dies. Also, my previous case should be listed as open not resolved.

I'm on Z400, Xeon w3530, 8GB RAM, Win XP Pro 2002, SP3

Thanks

Can you attache log.txt file that remains immediately after the crash? You can find it here:
# on Windows XP at C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Foldit\
# on Windows 7 and Vista at C:\ProgramData\Foldit

Darn thing is down more than up. Where is the Language section in the control panel.?

No language section atm.
Read blog about translations: http://fold.it/portal/blog

It looks like the translation problem with the decimal separator, which was causing the initial problem, has been fixed, so marking as resolved.
