current spring version is 0.81.2.1.

on crash, always attach infolog.txt as a file to your post.

on this site, click on Download (top right), and reinstall with the installer.

if after this, it still crashes.. infolog is in the main directory where you installed spring.

Spring updated to 0.80, game still not starting.

I don't know why or if i'm just being a noob here, but there is no infolog.txt file in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Spring\

There is a changelog.txt with the route:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Spring\docs\changelog.txt

Could you please give some details about your system?

try this: edit -> preferences -> spring
there's a checkbox called something like: use old(alternative?) launch method

if it's on, set to off, if it's off set to on, then press apply and try again

if it doesn't work with either, set back the original value before trying other stuff

YYYYYEEEEEESSSSSS! ITS ALIVE!!!!!!!
However, the only problem now is that no matter how many bots I add to the game, it ends about 3-4 secs into starting.

you have to have it somewhere if you got in-game (what you described).
search for infolog.txt again, on all hard drives.

What you described (game ending after a few seconds), suggests that the AIs failed to initialize. This usually indicates that a config file is missing. With BA, i recommend using RAI or KAIK (for a start), as they do not require config files.

latest BA is 7.12, you used 7.04.
Very likely, this is not the problem you are facing though.

Ok today i try all from beginning.

I get black screen, very slowly load, and then see menu, but cant do anything, even with arrow keys


Can You tell me what does that means at version 0.81.2.1 "multi-threating executable" - maybe my hardware is not up to date?
