Cafu Engine

I just downloaded a fresh copy of Ca3D, and ran the demo. I use Windows Vista , but I'm not able to see text/font on any of the GUI buttons. I'm pretty sure my system meets most of ca3D's requirments . Any help would be appreciated.

Dear V-Rage,
welcome to the Ca3DE forums!

Please check the following:

• When the downloaded .zip file was installed (extracted), did your extraction software create proper subdirectories? Some unzip software (usually older versions or ones with unusual setup) extract all files "flat" into the main subdirectory. When all is right, you should have a folder structure like this:

  Code: Select all

  Ca3DE-8.09
      Fonts
          Arial
          Impact
      Games
      ...
  

  If it is not like this, please try to unzip the downloaded file again.
  (Ca3DE cannot directly be started from within the .zip file, even though WinVista displays .zip files just as regular folders. Physically extracting the .zip file with properly preserved folder structure is required.)
• How did you start the Ca3DE.exe? When started, the programs "working directory" must be the one the exe is in, e.g. C:\...\Desktop\Ca3DE-8.09
  When Ca3DE.exe is double-clicked with the mouse in the Windows-Explorer, Windows gets this automatically right, but when you use links or scripts, extra care for this item may be required.
• If the above is right, what graphics board and driver do you have? Do you have the latest drivers installed?

Please let me know if any of this helps. If it doesn't, we will look more closely into it.

thank you Carsten.
I just re-extracted it, and it went fine, the problem was with an interuption in the extraction process.
