Not a bug 0.21.1 Crashes on startup

[Mcfluff]

Hi every time i try to launch the game it gives me this error.
"Pokémon 3D has crashed!
------------------------------

Here is further information:
Message: Song playback failed. Please verify that the song is not DRM protected. DROM protected songs are not supported for creator games.

You should report this error....."

I figured rest isn't really important.
Here's the crash log

I've tried reinstalling XNA and .Net. Currently i'm on XNA framework 4.0 and .NET 4.5 as far as i know. I tried with .NET 4.0 too but it didn't work either.

I've also tried launching the game on compatibility mode for Windows XP service pack 3 and launching the game as administrator and so far nothing has worked

this one is puzzling because it is coming up a lot and yet it never happens to myself or nilllzz. other xna games play, right? im not sure what version terraria and bastion use but if you have those games they didnt crash for you did they?

it is hard to see where the bug occurs, the music is not DRM protected, and the code for loading and playing the music is very simple.

I haven't played terraria for a really long time, but since it's so small i could try playing it for a little while to see if any error occurs

Whoa, i'm not sure what i did but i solved the problem somehow. This is what i did and i have no idea what it was that gave effect

First i went into the control panel and then into my list of installed programs.
I completely removed XNA and .NET, then i went ahead and enabled windows media player again (unrelated to this, but i have no idea how it would affect anything)
Then i reinstalled both XNA and .NET from the links i found on the forum
I noticed i had three updates in windows update manager for windows 7 x64, so i went ahead and installed them.
Then i restarted my computer and had no change, but i noticed i had even more updates available this time, so i restarted my computer again and got 10 new updates. And now it works all of a sudden!

Fucking magic

ok, good to know it isn't our code

i will tell others of your epic struggles with windows update if the problem pops up again. thank you for detailing what you did

Yep, cannot be our code.
And that thing with DRM protected songs: This is the default crash message when a song cannot play, even when it's not DRM protected. So no worries

i posted a link to that post in another thread about this issue, the poster tried all that and it didnt work. then they reenabled windows media player, and it worked. my theory is they are missing one of microsoft's official codecs

at least its not our fault, yay!
