Fangames stopped working on my pc, help plz
« on: December 19, 2015, 07:34:00 PM »
This has just recently happend to me.  I am running windows 7 and now whenever i try to load a fangame, it just never loads, just the mouse arrow with the loading circle.  This seemed to happen after i downloaded and ran ccleaner, but im not sure if that is what is causing this.  If i go into task manager, the game shows up 3 times and i cannot end the process.  Any ideas?

the first thing you should do is test your hard drive with Seatools or something, and make sure you have backup.

I do have avast, but usually avast will ask me first when i load a fangame.  Also it is not every game.  Serial Experiments Kid works, but most do not work.

Thanks ill disable avast for a sec and try again.

I have exactly the same issue.

I've been playing fangames for years and since a month or two my windows 7 never loads the games. They appears in the process list but don't load up.


Has something changed in the recent fangames ? As i can load the old ones...

Any help would be much appreciated :)


!!! EDIT : I figured out that my games were stopping only when i launch them from my SSD. If i move the game folder to my data HardDrive everything's fine.
