Did it work before? If so what changed since then? What are your computer's specs? Have you tried re-installing DS? Have you tried running in windowed mode?

From: Unknown Error in Client.exe - What to do...

1) Make sure you have a sound card installed, and the correct drivers for it.

In my experience, 90% of the time this is the cause of the error. DarkSpace requires a sound card and the drivers installed to play - even if you don't actually have any speakers turned on or plugged in.


I have entered a bug into Mantis concerning this exact situation wherein DarkSpace won't launch or crashes on launch if a sound card is not present.

If you don't receive any sound then you might try and go to the website of your computers manufacture and down load the new sound card driver. Else your on board sound card is fried.

Just an update on this issue - DarkSpace will now run without a sound card without crashing!
