Silent crash at the beginning is probabely resiolution dependant if you have a 3 screen setup with a width of higher than 4096 pixels the games setup will fail.

This can be solved by disabling cloud saves and manually editing the myDocuments\SavedGames\Project Temporality\Project Temporality Save\AllPlayers\TemporalitySave.xml file or by disabling SLI(or corssfire)
This will be fixed in the next patch.

For 1.03 patch we spent alot of time and effort trying to resolve any issue sthat might come up for the end user or at least point them in the right direction but it seems we added a new one-

No Sound Problem should be fixed using the default way of launching the game now. We still don't knpw why some computers lacks sound after using the launcher but have managed to reproduce it and will investigate it.


If you get sound but no music (you can see that music is turned OFF in the options meny) this is due to your computer lacking the windows media player. Sadly micosoft tied those together so we can't play music without it (silly we know but it's general XNA issue) But we have fixed so it is turned off so the game doesnt crash as most XNA games do. If you turn windows media player on the computer will need a reboot to fix it.

Sometimes the Steam installer misses installing some of the needed packages we have alerted Valve to this.But this seems to be a common steam issue so not much hope here.

In 1.03 we have a launcher (use Troubleshooting mode) that will try to detect any redists steam failed to install and tell you where to find them so less people will have trouble but it might miss some cases.

We have also added in a lot of error catching in the case that your graphics card is incompatible with the game and hopefully you will get a useable error message now.

If the game crashes on launch (before getting to the intro) and the launcher somehow fails to detect it you canj install these redists (that the steam installer should install but on rare occasions it fails) But it's a last way out and should hopefully not be necessary anymore.

Hey guys,
I just wanted to let you know that Project Temporality does not work on intel HD Graphics integrated video chipsets.
I keep getting the following error:
Could not find a Direct3D device that supports the XNA Framework HiDef profile.

mrscaper what Intel HD chip do you have ? We have test run it on Intel HD 4000,4200,3000 and 4500. In fact IntelHD4000 is what my day to day work machine has in it. I also belive HD 3000 is the lowest Intel HD chip that complies with our minimum specs.

The bad part is if it is a card that should be DX10 compliant and you get that message it's an XNA issue and I'm not sure it is fixable. Because what it means it that some of the DX10 features the game requires is missing.

I have absolutely no idea which series my chipset is from, but it is DX10 compliant according to AIDA64.

Alright so I have done som research on your graphichs card now based on the info you have supplied to me. It's a base HD Graphichs from the fifth generation of Intel HD so it is an unumbered card.

The first intel HD that can manage to run Temporality from a performance standpoint is the intel HD 3000. a Six gen card. Even the HD 2000 won't be able to support it speedwise.

So your graphichs card is quite a bit below the minimum spec I am sorry about this but due to our deferred renderign where everything is real time all the way we simply can't stretch that far back an average scene in temporality renders millions of polygons every frame (yeah we dont have the amount of lod levels that an AAA game has a matter of the number of artists)

We are aware that it is hard on PC to know about and understand what kind of computer and graphichs card you have, and if you purchased the game on steam I recommend you contacting valve for a refund.

Sorry that we can't do much about this we really tried to go as low as we could in specs.

As to why it doesnt start I have been looking around and it seems that the IronLake chips (gen 5, intel that you have) Claims to support DX10 but are missing some rarely used features that xna looks for. it's not that it needs 10.1 as alot of 10.0 cards works fine its some specific to gen5 intel :/

Thank you very much for the help. Thankfully I only had this problem while I was on vacation and could only bring along my dreadful cheap ass laptop. :)
I've just got home and I'm very much looking forward to playing your game.
I believe my GTX 560 will be sufficent. :D

i'm not getting any message, it just starts the launcher, then I click play and it closes, never to be heard from again, I've uninstalled and reinstalled it multiple times, tried changing the graphics settings (couldn't because settings wouldn't start). it worked for 25 minutes on my computer, then I closed it, and now it won't get past the launcher. what do I do? here are my specifications:

1.6GHz 4th generation Intel Core i5-4200U Processor with Turbo Boost up to 2.6GHz

Microprocessor Cache 1MB L2 Cache

Memory 8GB DDR3L SDRAM (2 DIMM)

Memory Max Maximum supported = 16GB

Video Graphics Intel HD graphics 4400 with up to 1792MB total graphics memory

Display 15.6-inch diagonal Full HD BrightView LED-backlit touchscreen display (1920x1080)

Hard Drive 750GB 5400RPM hard drive with HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection

So I have a 4th gen card, but it's got an HD 4400. so why doesn't it work?

For the record I will be doing a patch that restores in case your files got as corrupted as Aesp51's files did. Again huge thansk for contacting us by email. Life has been very busy at the moment so I cn't check this forum a smuch as I want to.
