    Question Launcher doesnt run properly.

    Hello : )
    I would be very thankful if someone could help me with this problem.

    I bought the GOG Version of Dk Gold and installed Keeper FX to run it properly.
    At first everything went well, I could play the game in high resolution without lags or bugsfor some days, but since yesterday the launcher fails to start.
    When I try to start the game I receieve this Message:

    Setting up game failed.
    This error in "LbBullfrogMain" makes the programm unable to continue.
    See "keeperFX.log" for details.

    The Log. tells this:

    Dungeon Keeper FX ver 0.4.3.824 (standard release)
    LOG CREATED @ 14:03:48 17-11-2013

    I searched for LbBullfrogMain in my DK folder, but I couldnt find it. I have no idea why I have suddenly this problem.
    So I reinstalled Keeperfx and DK gold, but It didnt help either.

    LbBullfrogMain is a function in KeeperFX source code.

    Anyway, the problem is here:
    Error: LbScreenSetup: Failed to initialize mode 29: DDraw created surface with wrong size
    Error: setup_screen_mode_zero: Unable to setup screen resolution 1280x960x32 (mode 29)

    Solution: set resolutions to correct values; also, menu works best at 540x480x32.

    Thank you for the quick answer, (and for doing this mod^^) , but nothing changed after I set all resolutions to the recommended values


    Error: LbScreenSetup: Full screen resolution 540x480 (mode 29) not available
    Error: setup_screen_mode_zero: Unable to setup screen resolution 540x480x32 (mode 29)

    Well, I played around with almost all possibil resolutions , 640x480x32 included. It still doesnt work, which is weird because I cant remember changing anything in the first place.
    I even redownloaded keeperfx and dk and tried it in a seperate file. Didnt work also.
    For some reason it runned fine for the first days. Could a a firewall or trojan remover be incompatible the files?

    Did you install the game properly by using the launcher? You MUST use the launcher by using the "Install" button to install the game and not mix Dungeon Keeper Gold along with KeeperFX.

    Strangely, it seems your video card is unable to set the correct resolutions for the game, or perhaps it misses some required files.

    No, this has nothing to do with files - it's resolution setting problem. Still, there could be more than one problem really - make sure you get always the same message in log file - if you'll get differen message, then probably you've fixed the resolution problem and stopped on next one.

    What you can try to fix resolution problem:
    - Check which resolution Windows uses and try exactly that resolution.
    - Run the game in windowed mode - change all resolutions replacing last "x" with "w", ie. 640x480w32.

    There's no way both these solutions will fail.

    Thanks, it does run in in windowed mode (with the window resulution it crashes) ,
    but now im suffering under game crashes. The game regulary hangs up after 10 minutes...

    Are you sure your computer is working correctly? Is the problem only with KeeperFX?

    What's at end of the log file after crash?
