| I cannot open v8.2.2 after downloading it. It shows up in my taskbar but will not come up on my screen. I uninstalled v8.2.0. I also verified that my video drivers are up to date. Can I get a download link to v8.2.0 so I can work on my maps again? It has it's own problems but at least it will open up. |

| Problems might occur with certain desktop resolutions/settings. Navigate to the GE user folder %LOCALAPPDATA% -> Giants Editor .. and delete the file "editor.xml". It will be new created at next GE start. Also delete all content of the folder "shader_cache". Look also into the "editor_log.txt" for possible error messages. If that doesn't help create a shortcut for the GE where you setup in properties tab "Shortcut" Run: Maximized Start the GE with this shortcut. |

| @Bilbo Beutlin. Deleting the .xml and the shader chace folder did the trick. It now shows up. Thanks for the quick response and all the help! |

| See above - look into editor log. Perhaps your OpenGL version is not sufficient. |

|---|---|
| If there is no "editor_log.txt", the GE doesn't even start (completely). Then there's something wrong with your system. |

| Hi. I have also problems with editor now. I have been using editor v8.2.2. It was working fine. The suddenly one day it dident want to start any more. It only comes up on the taskbar but dosent get it up on the screen. Now i tried to delete the "editor.xml" file. but then it wont start at all as others have had problems with as well. It starts and closes itself again. The editor log file i cant see either. I re-installed Editor and changed the screen resolution in the "editor xml" file to the same as i am using. now it starts up and shows on my screen, but it shuts down before it is finished starting up. When i found the right folder with the "shader_cache" and "editor.xml" and deleted it in that folder it fixed the problem. |

| Disconnect/disable network, then try again. Make sure editor and game relevant files are on local drives. Disable cloud storage like OneDrive. Also look into common online computer magazines. Recent Windows updates caused trouble on some systems. |

|---|---|
| GLSL is the OpenGL shader language. It's just what the error message says: your GPU does support OpenGL only upto vs. 4.4, the GE 8 requires at least vs. 4.5 You need a better gfx card. |

| A Windows update might have changed something important. Often it helps if you delete in folder "%LOCALAPPDATA%\GIANTS Editor ..." the file "editor.xml" and the content of "shader_cache". Also make sure, editor (and game) relevant files are on local drives. Don't use OneDrive or similar cloud storage for these files. |
