When the FE is started for the first time, you should be presented with the black setup screen, which will ask you which controls you want to use for different actions. I think you may have inadvertently assigned a mouse movement to the "exit" command, so moving the mouse over the window will quit the application immediately. If you delete the generated "config.xml", you should be able to go through the setup part again and assign a different control.
yes the xml is written and everything goes fine. also the screen shows up and i would really like to do something but as soon as i move the mouse "Baaaaaaaang!" its gone :(

in case it helps(as i don´t get any error messages) am using Win7 x64.

Looks like there are indeed mouse actions assigned to all the controls. The setup tool is overly sensitive to mouse movement and has probably taken a tiny twitch of the mouse as input for all commands without you even noticing. Best thing to do is either delete your config.xml and redo the setup part (without moving the mouse!) or use the attached config file (this uses the arrow keys as directional controls, enter as "select", backspace as "back" and "escape" as exit). If you want to edit the controls manually, have a look here.

The error log shows you may also have a sound problem. This is all handled by SDL, so I'm not sure how much assistance I can be on that. It may be due to something simple like drivers. I will however look into sorting out the mouse problem shortly.
no problem at all :thumb: i just wanted to report the bug as it renders the entire app un-usable for me atm.. anyways since the project is open source i may take some time and check out what´s really going on and maybe fix it myself ;)
last but not least.. judging by the video(as i haven´t seen it working yet) seems to be an awesome app... keep it up!!

oh, and sorry for the wird sound in the video :p but i had to use my app to record the video to show you what´s going on..

i just did a quick check and the problem seems to be the mouse assignment. to fix that you either don´t allow mouse movements to be used in the controls or just don´t allow mouse movements to exit the app. i think that should fix the problem ;) as for the sound it seems to be a compatibility problem rather than a driver problem...
