Hi.

Can anyone tell me why my game won't run on other computers.
Everything is set up properly and works fine on mine.

Thanks.

How does it not run? Do you get errors? Or low framerates?

Console window appears for a fraction of a second. Then nothing happens.

Some more info could help indeed,

If the program is starting up and shutting down directly after that then you probably forgot 'Irrlicht.dll', just include it in the same directory of you're .exe and then it will do something more.

EDIT: Then this is the solution

Thanks again. ; )

well, what if I don't want to have the irrlicht.dll included with it.

Then you need to compile Irrlicht as a static lib. Acki's IrrExtensions can make compiling one easier, Or you can search the forum as a few topics already exist on how to create one.

I've compiled statically with the .dll before; my .exe ended up slightly larger than the .dll but it worked.
