Hey, The Support Forum is under the the Scythe Physics Editor heading so thought I should post this here.
When I try to start the game I get a side-by-side error message.
Can any one tell me what I have done wrong?

I need more info on the error than that, but most people who had problems it was because they didn't follow the instructions properly, they skipped installing the physX drivers or directX 9.

Next release I will try to make self-installing.

Nope followed instructions. When I tried to install the physX drivers I download it okay and when I install it I get the message my current version is newer than what I am trying to download.

The exact message I get is:
"The application failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log for more details."

As for an event log I cant find it anywhere. Did a system wide search and only came up with a Baldurs gate log from when it made my computer crash last week.

The videos looks great by the way. The way you have made the game an even playing field where you actually have to think about what you are up to is what I have been looking for since mount and blade failed to offer any real challenge.
Looking forward to it. looks brutal though. Good luck!

Ah I had that error when I upgraded from XP to windows 7 x64. No idea what it means but the next release should fix that. What is your operating system?
