Help: Unigine won't launch/initialize

[1sascha]

Just installed that benchmark, tried to run it, but all I got were weird errors, complaining about stuff that shouldn't be an issue.

 

Here's the error-log:

 

 

14:11:00 Xml::load(): can't open "D:/Program Files (x86)/Unigine/Heaven Benchmark 4.0/bin/unigine.cfg" file

14:11:00 Config::load(): can't open "D:/Program Files (x86)/Unigine/Heaven Benchmark 4.0/bin/unigine.cfg" file

14:11:00 Engine::init(): can't initialize filesystem

14:11:44 Shutdown

 

The paths are correct but the unigine.cfg file is indeed missing. I did change the default installation path, since C is an SSD-drive that's mostly reserved for OS.

 

I'm also getting different errors upon launching from the shortcut or from the heaven.exe within the "bin"-folder. Program complains that it can't open "browser_x86.exe" which is clearly there in the folder. Already created an empty text-file and renamed it unigine.cfg and made sure that the whole folder had write-protection set to off.. it was on by default for some reason.

 

Still.. no joy.

 

Any idea what could be wrong here?

Why can't you just reinstall the program?

[1sascha]

Hmm.. I did that already, but still no joy. Then I reinstalled a third time and now it's working. Weird.

 

So, move along, nothing to see here...

 

 

Man, don't I feel stupid now.

haha, it's all good.

 

might be corruption when you were installing it the first 2 times

I'm having the exactly same issue. I've re-installed it a few times and it still won't come up with the file. Does anyone want to just upload the file so I can just plug it in manually or something? I'm using the most recent version from Unigine's website

Don't mean to necro this thread, if it hasn't already done so, but I just came back to this same issue. No matter how many times I reinstalled (whether uninstalling beforehand or not) it came up with the same error.

 

The solution was to add a desktop shortcut (maybe the start menu shortcut would work, too?) and run it from there. The Valley.exe in the bin folder still doesn't work, but the desktop shortcut ran no problem.

I think it is because most are trying to run the Heaven.exe file in bin. It's an easy mistake to make. However, the program runs from the primary folder through heaven.bat. It may also be worth noting here that Windows 10 does not appear to be adding this to the start menu. Admittedly, I have encountered that with a lot of programs including MS Office software.
