My playtest does not run.. I wrote up a thread
here seeing if there was a solution that i was just doing something wrong, but it doesn't seem to be getting anywhere (bless those that are trying).
Basically as I said, my playtest button in the app does not do what it's supposed to do. I click it, and i get a spinny "thinking" cursor icon for a few seconds, and then it goes away and nothing happens, BUT it does add a game.exe process to my task manager, which repeats depending how many times i want to hit that playtest button. No focus from the app window is lost. Running the game.exe directly from the project folder has the same result. In the task manager, it does not launch any apps either.
I originally was lead to believe it was my default browser, but now i'm being told browser has nothing to do with it.
I've tried many many many different things. It is not project related. I have started a fresh new project multiple times and went immidiately for the playtest button to see if it will work, and it does not. I have changed project directories several times, i have even reinstalled MV. I have re-installed Java 8, my drivers are up to date, and restarting my computer doesn't do anything either. I have tried everything under the sun but that game.exe will just not physically launch. The debug file gives nothing. I get no errors, it does not crash, or anything like that. It just simply doesn't do anything at all. The only way i can get the game to run at all is by dragging the html onto a browser, in which it opens in the browser. I can also use a .bat to tell the game.exe to launch in a browser, and it works... So why doesn't my game.exe work on it's own??? Why doesn't the playtest button work?
My computer specs are windows 7 home premium, amd 7700, i5quad cpu, and 16gb ram.
I cant' find a single thing anywhere. No errors, no reports, not even in the event viewer for my computer can i find anything at all related. there is just literally nothing. it just simply does not work.
