Title: MUGEN Crash help
Post by: bono1 on October 30, 2019, 01:35:14 pm
Hi all,

Everytime I try to open Queen of Fighters Redux, it crashes right upon startup. I see the startup screen with sound, everything is working and then it turns black and does not respond. Once I press a button, I get the windows prompt M.U.G.E.N is not responding. Here is the log. for some reason the date is wrong but the file is modified and it is unable to find the characters ( Error reading character file: chars/empty/empty.def), not sure if it caused the crash though:

The "error reading character file: chars/empty/empty.def" is not an error at all, it's just a way to make a cell empty in the select screen and it doesn't cause mugen to crash. The error usually appears at the start of the error message. With the error you posted here I can't figure out what is happening...

Hi thanks for your reply. Yup I figured it probably wasn't the cause of the crash. Do you happen to play Queen of Fighters Redux and is it on Windows 10? I have tried several things short of mad overhaul like reverting to Windows 7. But I always get the same issue. It just crashes upon startup
