Just downloaded the Windows version, installed it and I get this error after a quick black screen:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

[Edit - I had to run the exe as Administrator...]

What a lovely game!

I didn't have any problems with permissions.

Hu O_o !?

I think it's because we are installing it inside program files, which is a protected folder since windows vista/seven.
I get this error one time but it was with the installer and a fresh install of Seven.

The easier solution is to tell people to run it as administrator like you correctly guess.

The game update a log file each time, maybe the correct way to do it now is to move everything in a personal user folder. But I like to stay in a single folder it's less messy and better work with the built-in level editor (F8).

I wonder if I have to install the Microsoft Visual C++ redist too ?

What a lovely game!

Thank you !
This making me happy :D

Redirect to a folder in the user directory. This is definitely expected behavior(on the mac too.)

You can still try the beta of course : http://arm42.com/games/metagolf/beta/

Could be a nice game for mobile devices :-)

Only if mobile devices get better control because it's quite arcade not turn based at all like all those mini-golf game you can play.

So if playing super Mario bros on mobile is very easy then yes it could be a nice idea for mobile.

The multiplayer modes look great.

I think as far as audience is concerned, xbox would be a better target, multiplayer couch games on big TV with real controllers is where you should be going with this IMHO.

NZ and Australia still can't buy / play XNA community games (but we can publish them) cos it's the selling of unrated content which kind of stinks badly.

Yeah you right, that's why I bought an xBox 360 controller specially for developing that game and supporting it even on Mac Os.

I didn't know you cannot buy unrated content on few countries ? In fact I don't know much about XNA and XBOX, but I'm planing a course on mobile development soon. Hope I'll get it :)

Oh by the way Skid !
I'm using your PulseAudio driver but having a few problems.
Can you help me ? http://blitzmax.com/Community/posts.php?topic=97518
