Made a video

This is a list of technical problems and frequently asked questions aboutLong Live The Queen.

Note: if you're reporting a crash or other technical glitch, you shouldalways tell us what any error messages said and what OS version you're using -workarounds and diagnostic procedures are often OS-specific.

The game crashes on start (or doesn't appear to start at all)

Several things could cause crashes on start; the most common cause isincompatible video drivers.

Before you do anything else: copy the log.txt and traceback.txt(if present) files out of your LongLiveTheQueen directory. They may beneeded later to help fix the problem, and workarounds for the crashes willclobber them. Next, you'll need to switch into software mode.

How to switch into software mode

The default game startup sequence is supposed to go as follows:
While the game is initializing, it displays the splash image: a crown withthe text 'Loading..' under it.
Then, it creates a full-sized Long Live The Queen window and attempts toinitialize OpenGL and run a test sequence. If GL initialization or thetest sequence fails, it falls back to the software renderer.

Things to try (if one works, you won't need to try the others):

Hold down the shift key while starting the game. That will bring up therenderer selection menu, which looks like this:

If you're running version 1.2.27 or later on Windows,
there will be a 'Play in Safe Mode.bat' and 'Play in Software mode.bat'files in the same directory as LongLiveTheQueen.exe. Try them. (Note thatsafe mode also disables joystick and sound support.)

If you're running Steam: right-click on the game, bring up the propertiespage, and uncheck the 'Enable Steam Community In Game' box. If this fixesyour crash, report your OS version and the saved log.txt file to Spiky orHanako.

If you are running an x86-64 or amd64 Linux distribution: make sure youhave 32-bit compatibility libraries installed. The runtime is compiled for32-bit x86 CPUs. Missing 32-bit libraries will often lead to tracebackscomplaining that some lib could not be found.

On Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, the following commands are reported to install thenecessary libraries:

Finally, if neither shift nor disabling the Steam Community fixes it,you can try using environment variables to override the renderer selection.
On Windows: Start Menu: Run: cmd.exe
Then change to the directory the game is installed in, and runOn Linux: Start a terminal. cd to the directory the game is installed in,and run

If this works, post the saved log.txt, OS version, and video card make to one of our forums. If it doesn't work, you should also include any terminal output in your bug report.

Once you get it into software mode, you should be able to make softwaremode permanent by going to Preferences: Video Settings and telling it touse software mode.

The screen is black, or only a quarter of it is drawn

This happens when your video driver isn't compatible with LLtQ,and you've set the game to use OpenGL. The fix is to switch intosoftware mode (instructions above.)

There are visual artifacts on screen (corrupt textures, improperclipping)

Try changing renderers (Preferences: Video Settings) orwindowed/full screen mode. Software-rendered windowed mode is the mostreliable.

If you've got it set to 'auto', and it's choosing the OpenGL renderer, andthe visual artifacts go away in software mode, you should include screenshotsof the artifacts with your bug report if possible.

The game has the wrong aspect ratio or size in fullscreen mode

An awful lot of systems come default-configured to try tostretch images to fill the whole screen even when it doesn't make sense.Try checking the settings in your video control panel, and on the monitoritself (accessed by pressing physical buttons on the monitor.)

I can't start the game from the Ren'Py launcher

The game is not designed to be started from the Ren'Py launcher- it uses a slightly customized version of Ren'Py 6.12.2, and is not guaranteedto be compatible with any other version of Ren'Py, including the stock6.12.2 distribution.

If you're trying to hack the game to run on a different OS/architectureyou should contact Spiky Caterpillar - I may beable to provide some porting support. Note that my recommended approach torunning on x86-64 is currently 'install 32-bit compatibility' rather thancompiling a native 64-bit version, though.

Where are the saved games and preferences?

The default locations are:
Linux: ~/.renpy/LongLiveTheQueen/
OS X: ~/Library/RenPy/LongLiveTheQueen
Windows XP and 2000: C:Documents and Settings(your username)Application DataRenPyLongLiveTheQueen
Windows Vista and 7: C:Users(your username)AppDataRoamingRenPyLongLiveTheQueen

AppData and Application Data are invisible by default on many Windows installs; you should set your computer to show hidden files so you can get into them. Alternatively, typing %APPDATA% into the address bar of an Explorer window will take you there.

I can't get the game to use OpenGL

Check your log.txt file - it may explain why OpenGL wasdisabled. If you're using Windows, note that you will need to install thenewest version of DirectX 9 to use the OpenGL renderer. (You can get DirectX9 from Microsoft. DirectX 10 or 11 do not count as the newest versionof DirectX 9.)

Patches (amos) mac os. The game doesn't have any sound

KNOWN INCOMPATIBLE DRIVERS:

Some versions of Asus Sonic Suite II dosn't properly support Long Live TheQueen (verified on 2016 October 15th using Long Live The Queen 1.3.25.1 onWindows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, with the on-motherboard RealTek HD Audio chipfrom the Asus Maximus VIII Hero Alpha motherboard). Reportedly, disablingSonic Suite and switching to the legacy RealTek driver fixed it.

Sound bugs are often hard to fix (as they're often hard for us to replicatein the first place - many of them depend on specific hardware/software/settingscombinations that we don't have on hand to test.)

Things to check:

• First, make sure other games play sound. Nothing like spending a whiletrying to fix a software problem only to find that the problem was 'devicenot plugged in'. (Everyone does this. Including programmers.)
• Did sound in Long Live The Queen work before on this computer?
• Check the ingame volume settings (.. I once spent anhour trying to figure out How Did The Caterpillar Break Sound only to learnthat the problem was 'forgot I'd turned the volume down a couple daysago'.)
• Does the problem persist across a reboot?
• Is the problem consistent or erratic?
• Have you added or removed any sound hardware? (Don't forget monitorsand video cards now often have sound devices on them these days!)
• Updated any relevant software (including the OS)?
• Is some other program locking your sound device? (Skype on some computershas been known to steal the sound card, for instance.)
• Check your mixer settings. Sometimes the device the game is outputting tois muted or turned way down. I have a laptop where the sound is always mutedat startup (which I haven't bothered to change because waking everyone upwith game music while trying to code on the train at 2am would be ratherobnoxious.)
• Turn up the volume on ALL your speakers, including the terrible tinnyones built-in to your monitor - Long Live The Queen has been known todecide that the default sound output should be the HDMI audio on yourvideo card.
• Do you have any specialist high-definition audio drivers installed?LLtQ is built with a relatively old version of SDL and doesn't understandsome of the newer sound chips. If your sound card has both a fancy driverand a plain legacy one, switching to the plain driver may make it work.

If you're reporting a sound bug, make sure you mention what OS, OS version,and sound hardware you're using, along with whatever you've checked fromthe above list. If you have any of our other games, telling us which onesdo or don't have working sound will help.

I get continuous static on Linux using Pulseaudio

Some Pulseaudio drivers are buggy; editing /etc/pulse/default.paand changing the line load-module module-udev-detect toload-module module-udev-detect tsched=0 will work around it onat least some systems.

Can I increase the game resolution?

No - the game's logical resolution is fixed at 1024x600. However, if youwant to make the game fill more of the screen, you can go fullscreen by hittingthe F key, or you can resize the window if the game is using the OpenGL renderer.

Steam-specific issues

The Steam client does not properly record time in-game (Thisalso allows you to start multiple copies of the game simultaneously, andprevents cards from dropping)

Is the game set to run as Administrator? On Windows 7 and 8,this prevents it from properly communicating with Steam. (This will probablyalso apply to Vista and future Windows versions; so far I've only had thisparticular bug/fix combination confirmed on 7 and 8.)

If you're experiencing this bug on anything other than Win7/8, pleasereport it.

Long Live The Rat Queen Mac Os 7

The Steam overlay does not load.

The Steam overlay requires OpenGL. If the game's using the softwarerenderer, it won't work. (Achievements should still work regardless ofrenderer, however.) You can check to see whether it's using software orGL by going to Preferences: Video Settings.

Pressing F12 does not take a screenshot

Long Live The Rat Queen Mac Os Download

F12 screenshots require the Steam overlay. If you can't get the overlayto work, you can trigger the game's internal screenshot function by pressing'S'.

Validating the game cache always wants to redownload 60-63 files. The dragons horde mac os.

This is normal - some of the game's files are byte-compiled onyour own computer when you run the game, which changes the internal timestampsand paths.

How do I find the game install directory?

Right-click on the game in your Steam library. Select Properties. Click the Local Files tab. Click 'Browse Local Files'.
