Celestia Forums

Whenever I attempt to start Celestia the loading screen comes up, but it never completely loads, as it always gets stuck on a .stc file. Even if I delete that file, it still gets "stuck" on another one.

I have tried reinstallation, but that doesn't fix the problem.

Sorry, but you'll need to provide more information.
in particular, what operating system are you using and where did you install Celestia?
Have you made any changes to the STC files?

If you're using Vista or Win7, you might try installing Celestia in C:\Celestia\ instead of in the default C:\Program Files\Celestia\. The newer versions of Windows are very protective of programs and files which have been placed there, which has caused problems for some people.

Hi InconspicuousBarrel,

I moved your post, because it sounds not like a real Celestia Bug, but more like a problem with some files. So I think it is better placed in the Help section.

Could you please give a bit more details about your problem, like: OS, Hardware, Celestia version, fresh install or older install with addons, etc.
Also, could you state the first stc that Celestia complains about? Best thing would be if you type a ? on startup, then you see the log of Celestia. And then post the first file that Celestia reports a problem with.

Hope that helps.

Regards,

Guckytos
