The Powder Toy

Does the beta crash for you?

    Currently we're aware of an issue that's causing the version 43 beta to crash on some Windows-based computers. If you're experiencing issues launching the Powder Toy, please post in this thread with the following information:
    When it crashes
    Your operating system
    Operating system architecture (32 or 64bit?)
    Processor (To find out: Go to My computer, and go to properties, it should say what processor you have.)

    Also, try this version: https://powdertoy.co.uk/Download/Test/powder-win32.zip and report back as to whether it works or not.

    I really do need to know the processor, it's the important part.

    i don't know the processor(what is it). I am guessing that it is the same as cracker64's

    right-click on My computer, and go to properties, it should say what kind of processor it has.

    vista 32 bit and it works perfect (telling it works just incase someone else with vista and 32 bit dont work)

    Doesn't crash. Windows vista a 64bit, AMD phentom(tm)9550 quad-core processor 2.20 GHz. I think 32bit is crashing and 64 is living.

    With the beta, all three don't work.

    Get the processor name by right clicking my computer and clicking properties.
    With me it's,
