This is on Windows 10.

I can successfully launch the game and use the menus. However, when I start a new game, it immediately crashes. Analyzing the dump file it generates, it looks like it has something to do with Bink:

Except code is 0xc0000005

STACK_TEXT:
000000b6`a72fd320 00000285`8092b6fb : 00000285`80946200 00000000`0000002c 00000285`80946200 00000000`00000001 : binkw64!BinkLogoAddress+0x38

Has anyone experienced something like this?

Also, I checked the Steam version and it seems like that does not have the same problem.

This is probably too late for the issue, but on the off chance you're reading this and the issue still exists, let us know and we can try to delve into it a bit more. If the Steam version works then maybe it is (or has been) enough of a solution but of course a little odd.

Bink is the video codec used by the game, so this is most likely something to do with video codecs. Trine 2 is getting a little old, and I seem to remember that Win 7 had some old video codecs that were not included in all versions of Windows 7 which caused some crashes. Maybe it's the same issue here. Do you have a standard Windows 10 version or some special Media Edition or similar? You could try seeing if Microsoft is offering any optional/additional video codecs, or installing some third-party codec packs (please be careful when installing from the web, of course).

You could also see if editing %APPDATA%\Trine2\options.txt yields any results - the only one that pops to my mind right now is disabling audio, as it could be the audio part of the codec that causes problems. You can do this by setting setOption(audioModule, "AudioEnabled", true) to false instead of true.

I hope you've gotten to play the game in the months since the post, if not let me know and we can see what's going on.

DanS: This is on Windows 10.
Posting a reply to tag the OP in case they're still around, seeing as a dev responded.

Unfortunately, the machine that it has crashed on has been decommissioned so I can't check those things on it anymore. It seems to work fine on my Windows 11 machine.
