| + | If you see an initialization error similar to the one in the image to the right, the most frequent cause is that the drivers for your sound or graphics hardware are outdated or incomplete (e.g. missing an OpenGL implementation). Please install or update the drivers for your hardware first, then try again. | ||
| + | |||
| + | If that doesn't help, run ''Cafu.exe'' from the [[wp>Command_Prompt|command prompt]] with the ''-log console.txt'' option. For example: | ||
| + | <code bash> | ||
| + | > Cafu.exe -log console.txt | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | The contents of the newly generated file ''console.txt'' might give you a clue about why the initialization error occurred. If it doesn't, please post both the error message and the contents of the ''console.txt'' file at our [[http://forum.cafu.de|forum]] or [[http://www.cafu.de/support/mailing-lists|mailing-lists]]. | ||

| + | Note that you can run | ||
| + | <code bash> | ||
| + | > Cafu.exe --help | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | to see a list of all available command line options. They might be useful to work around the problem, and if you post at the forums, we might ask you to try some of them to further narrow the problem down. | ||
