Explain your issue

Please check first if your issue haven't already been reported yet.

No matter what I do, whenever I finish a song in Codename Engine, the game crashes. I don't know if anyone else is having this problem.

It looks like it's trying to get a field that won't exist, no matter what.

Did you at least extract it, and if so, are you running it through the extracted program?

[joao23arthur16-ai]

What do you mean?

[r6915ee]

What do you mean?

Basically, a field is just a kind of variable in mathematics, although in computing it can also be true or false statements and strings of text, as well as pure data. If a field itself doesn't exist when running through the code, then that has severe complications and the program may crash (some programming languages refer to this as panicking, like with macOS and Linux's base crash system based on UNIX).

It's always recommended to extract a ZIP file containing a program before you use it. In the case of Codename, it's the game itself in the .exe file. You should only run the game after it has been extracted properly.

I'm not too familiar with WinRAR, but 7Zip usually creates options in the File Explorer's drop-down menus for archives that allow quick extraction.

Has this issue occurred on engines you've used prior, at least?

[joao23arthur16-ai]

It has happened in some Psych Engine mods, but it is less common compared to Codename Engine.

In that case, I would still probably make sure that the program is extracted correctly. WinRAR, which appears to be on your computer based on the image, should probably have an option to quickly extract a ZIP file from the File Explorer on Windows.

Are you at least running the game in its non-extracted form? That is, the path to the game does not include the ZIP file.

[joao23arthur16-ai]

I try extracted and non-extracted

[r6915ee]

I try extracted and non-extracted

Then that's certainly peculiar.

Does running the game through a simple CMD or PowerShell session reveal anything?

[joao23arthur16-ai]

How I do this?

[r6915ee]

How I do this?

There should theoretically be an option in File Explorer to open "Windows Terminal", an application that was introduced as a replacement for the prior terminal emulator, which I believe was called Console Host (something around those lines). If Windows Terminal is installed, then you should have an option in the folder dropdown to launch the folder in Windows Terminal.

I haven't used either CMD or PowerShell in a long while (both are command-line shells where you can view certain things, such as logs in real time), but I would expect that you can type in the following command to run Codename Engine in the console, assuming that you are running in a PowerShell session:

.\CodenameEngine.exe

If you don't have Windows Terminal installed, then you should be able to install it through the Microsoft Store application.

[joao23arthur16-ai]

Nothing

[r6915ee]

Nothing

Does the terminal not produce any output?

[joao23arthur16-ai]

The terminal doesn't recognize the file. Do you think the problem is my PC?

On PowerShell, you may want to use the following, which will list the contents of the current directory, and use a filter of *.exe to match any program:

Get-ChildItem *.exe

Then use the same command from before, but replace the name of the executable file like so:

.\executable.exe
