p.s. i use the latest version 0.4.6 and this bug happens on all modes PLEASE HELP ME I WANT TO PLAY THIS GAME

Go to the Singleplayer tab, click "Create world", give it a name and select "minetest_game", click "OK", make sure the world is selected then click "Play".

If this doesn't work, this means you do not have write permissions in your Minetest directory. Instead of putting Minetest in Program Files, put it somewhere in C:\Games (create the directory if needed).

I am having a similar problem with the latest version.I create a world but when i click play a messege comes up saying illigle instruction. I tryed what Calinou said but this dosen't work.

Try putting your Minetest folder into your My Documents folder. Don't put it in your Programs folder.

Sorry illegal not illigle.

I have tryed an older version but the same problem came up it may be my computor that has the problem.

I have updated the installer to automatically install to C://minetest

You could copy some text, then paste it in the world creation window. ;)

How do I put in a new Diretory, Please help!!!!!

Press Windows Key+E to open Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer). Locate Minetest folder in the "Program Files" and drag that Minetest folder to the C: drive. So Minetest folder should now be located at C:\minetest-0.4.6\ directly (no "Program Files"). Or as someone else suggested try dragging the minetest folder to "My Documents".

Have you tried download the latest version of Minetest and extracting that to a new folder?

Hi all i have the same problem (ERROR[main]: Some exception: "Illegal instruction") when trying to play a word. I did all the proposed solutions like moving it in other places like C or documents even unraring them at those places but nothing works. Is there any solution to this problem or is it still a mystery.

I really wanna give this game a try considering i played manic digger a similar game to this where i made huge builds (until the community sadly died out) so i was looking forward to try this game which from screenshoots and youtube looks amazing.

Info:
Game version: Minetest 0.4.7
Operating system: MS Windows XP Professional SP2
Computer info: AMD Athlon XP 2400+ 1,25 GB Ram Ati Radeon 9550/X1050 Series (i know its a stone age computer :)

Debug file (after multiple tries producing the same error, tried with multiple worlds and both game modes still same error while being in diffrent directorys.)

Minetest requires SSE, which your CPU doesn't support.

Aww to bad really was looking forward to try build some great things in this game.

Thanx for the fast reply, seems you got a nice and helpful community here.

Perhaps in the future if i get a better computer i might give it another go (probably wont get one lol).

Have fun and enyoy.
