Well... I was trying to build the game I just almost finished. And when I clicked "Build Game", the normal screen appeared. But then, when I click anything, nothing happens. I can't even cancel it or anything, I must press ctrl+alt+del and close it that way. It worked perfectly before I got Signs III and made some segments and signs with it. Please help, I don't understand what's wrong...

My blood pack will have 500 blood overlays some day! I hope...

Sorry for double post, but I updated, and now it says it's free version! I entered the serial in userdetails.ini, but it still is free version! What's the problem with this, really?

Nevermind, I fixed the problem, buildfiles.ini had messed up somehow.

Now the build game works, but it just freezes in "[276] Waiting for threads to finish 97%" of the first map. I left my computer on for the whole night, and it was there for the whole time, and no files at all were in the game folder. Why is this? Can it be that the map is too full of stuff? Because it has no bare place in the ground, almost. Please tell if that's the problem, if you can.

EDIT: Fixed the number I had written incorrectly.

Okay:

1. What version of fpsc are you using
2. Are you using a mod?
3. Please supply us with a screenshot of the overall level.

1. 1.14.005
2. I'm not using a mod.
3. Attached. I was able to take that from the editor, so... It's from the second room. The other rooms have the same amount of stuff in them.

Hehe, well, yea, it's kinda hard to walk through. But the biggest problem is the lag in that room. Some rooms don't have that much stuff in them, though.

I'm now trying to build a game with one small map, and see if that works.

Ok, well, that works. So, hmm... Should I delete some stuff from the maps?

Aargh! It still does freeze in "[276] Waiting for threads to finish 97%", even while I removed quite a lot of stuff from the first level. It still has lot of stuff, though. But the idea is that it has lots of "trash" around it, so...

The freezing 'waiting for threads' thing is usually to do with lightmapping, the more things FPSC has to calculate for lightmapping, the more threads it uses. Try reducing the lightmapquality in the setup.ini file and see if that helps.

Ok, thanks! I'll try that soon. (next week probably)
