For some reason I cannot Zelda.exe, from either the launcher or the file itself.

I can open the editor, but not the player.

I grabbed the latest file of Zelda Classic 2.55, and I'm using Windows 8.1. There are no modules that I've installed.


Help would be greatly appreciated.

(if this is in the wrong category, do let me know)

Do you have another copy of ZC open anywhere? Even another version. ZC's exe specifically has protections keeping multiple instances from running at the same time to prevent save corruption. So even if you're running 2.53 in one window and 2.55 in another it won't allow it.

No, I don't have any others open.

Right, so that's the obvious one out of the way. I assume this was a completely fresh full install of 2.55 so it couldn't be a missing data file? When you try to run it, does the process briefly appear in Task Manager? And is there anything printing to allegro.log? I don't really know what would cause this issue, but that info would probably be helpful to someone who does.

Yes, it appears in Task Manager for a brief moment.
As for the allegro.log file, it says:

Did you copy a config file from an older version? If so, that's not a good idea.

 

In "zc.cfg", there should be an entry called "current_module"; ensure that it is set to "modules/classic.zmod".

I didn't copy from an older version, but upon checking the zc.cfg file, it was set to grabber.

That would explain why it didn't open; I accidentally set it to grabber.

Thanks for the help, by the way.
