Error: non-existing surface?
The game is Alice's Magical Mahjong, it has been working on this system for years. Suddenly it has display issues; on starting there is the normal small splash screen and the music starts playing, it fades to black, but instead of the main menu appearing the screen stays black with the music playing. Task Manager shows it as running, but I must use TM to kill it.
The error log shows:
"ERROR in
action number 1
of Begin Step Event
for object obj_controller_screen_transition_out_2:
Trying to use non-existing surface."
Researching this online gets specific references to other games (with solutions not relevant to this game; for example, there's no .dat file to delete) or highly technical discussions on dev sites.
