If that function is disabled in the setup wiz then it should boot I would think.

OK mesk, do me a solid and delete (or move rather) your startbak.bmp and put this one in its place:

Let me know if it works for you or not.

Nope same problem.thanks for trying guys,ive given up on this theme

I tried it out on my side with the startbak.png file provided by Adultery and have no issues with it starting up or with navigation thus far. Correct me if I am wrong but shouldn't GEX pull from the default theme if it cannot find a file, whether it is a background or a logo missing in the selected theme?

EDIT: One thing I noticed when opening this theme is that the folder containing the theme Dark Champion - Carbon 720p is nested within another folder named Darkchampion - Carbon 720p.

@Mesk - did you extract this folder from within Darkchampion - Carbon 720p so that it is immediately following \gameex\themes\Dark Champion - Carbon 720p ? This may explain why GEx is not finding the startbak.png file because it needs to find the file under \gameex\themes\Dark Champion - Carbon 720p and not \gameex\themes\Darkchampion - Carbon 720p\Dark Champion - Carbon 720p.

Additional info

[Adultery]

@Drac: Exactly right. Ha! I didn't notice that when I tested.

[massop]

Ah yes.

That makes sense, My bad I suppose lol

[Draco1962]

I am going to mark this as [RESOLVED] as I believe the issue was with the folder depth within the them itself as I previously noted.

@massop - can you correct this and coordinate with Tom to replace the current copy with the corrected copy?

[massop]

Already done my friend.

Should be updated with the correct folder depth and correct fonts

[Draco1962]

Thanks! Appreciate the info!
