Error log, Can't play game :(

[eliff2008]

I played this awesome indie game when it came to the EuroGamer Expo in leeds, so ofcoarse decided to buy it, but whenever I try to play it I get the critical error message. The error log is as follows,

System.InvalidOperationException: This resource could not be created.
at Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Audio.AudioEngine..ctor(St ring settingsFile, TimeSpan lookAheadTime, String rendererId)

at Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Game.Run()
at PlainSight.Program.Main(String[] args)

Please please help, I want to play the game :( I've tried comp restarts / file verification / defragmentation of game files / uninstallation and reinstallation of game files lots, even tried deleting the files directly.

Bump, exact same problem, reinstalling does not fix it

Yay! I'm not alone :)

Looks very similar to an issue I discovered when developing with XNA on Windows Vista. The problem was that the system's default audio device was set to some speakers that weren't plugged in. The fix was changing the default to another device associated with my sound card. You can do this by right clicking the volume icon on the taskbar > Playback Devices, and right clicking something like "Digital Audio Interface" to set as the default instead of "Speakers".

I can verify that this has indeed fixed my problem! thanks!

[BigBird]

Yes also fixed my problem thanks ColdEquation, strange Microsoft would release something that is not fully compatible with their own OS(s) *smirk*

I've only got the option of "speakers". This is because I have disabled my onboard sound [through the device manager] and got rid of all its drivers etc as it was causing BSODs to occur since I installed a soundcard. Is there any way around this for me or is the only way to re-enable the onboard and deal with the wrath of the evil blue screen?

I'm getting much the same thing:

My rudimentary research indicates that this is related to a C++ array issue. I have no idea what that means.

Post the full error log. They won't be able to tell what exactly went wrong without it, brother.

I posted on another thread, it's the same error manstie got

Sir, I love you :D
