I've answered your email.

I've just fixed (hopefully) a startup crash on Android 4.4 devices. Look for the update to version 1.8.11. Hopefully it'll work for you too.

Actually, yes. The game runs only on Arm processors.

As far as I know, you shouldn't have been able to download it... Did the Play Store say that it was compatible with your device?

In any case, I'll look into it how can we support Intel processors too. Hopefully it'll not be hard.

I've uploaded a new version. It should really be compatible now. ;)

Look for the version 1.8.12 update. It shouldn't take long.

Are you sure it's the latest update? Also, is there no "report" button?

Try to delete it and redownload it?

I've now seen the report. Thank you.

It seems the game cannot initialize the graphics.

I'll soon upload an update with minor fixes (version 1.8.13). I've added detailed error reporting for the graphics initialization. So the game will still crash, but if you upload a crash report, it should give me more to go on.

I don't think the game does anything wrong (it hasn't crashed for anyone else with graphics initialization failure, as far as I know), so it's more likely the graphics driver in your device is buggy, sorry.

Still, I'll try to find a solution if I get the new crash report.

I'm working on a potential solution. Would you like to test it?

If so, I'll need the gmail address of the Google account with which you've purchased The Quest. I'll then add you as a betatester and you can download the test version.

Could you please send it in an email? It's easier to check my mail than to come back here. :)

Thanks!

I also experience a crash at startup on an android 4.4.2 tablet. I've just sent a mail with logs retrieved from catlog tool.

If you can add me to the beta program, i'll be more than happy to test a new version potentially solving this issue.

Regards,
Robin

With the dedicated help of Elendil, after several "beta" versions, the crash was finally diagnosed and about just a day after I reported it, the crash was solved!

Many thanks again!

We haven't received email from you about beta testing. Also the game has been out for a while on Android and we don't need any betatesters at the moment.
