First, try the Development build of InnerSpace if you haven't already.
Right click Inner Space, select Patcher, select (it's a the red dot) the option for "Download development (test) patches"". Then right click Inner Space, select Exit. Reload Inner Space again, see if it that fixes it.
If you have tried the dev build, read on.
There are some recently arisen issues which are affecting a couple of games, and they appear to be related. Unfortunately none of our systems are having this issue at this time, so, in order to help track it down, if you could provide a Trace Diagnostics (this is in the Help -> Diagnostics menu in the toolkit) on the hung launcher process, or the game itself if it is getting that far, and upload the dmp file it generates to here (if it will accept it), or send to
lax@lavishsoft.com (please reference this post so he knows why he is getting these things). Note: if it is a 64bit executable, the dump will fail, so you will need to use
ProcDump, extract it to a folder and from an Admin command prompt, change to the extracted folder, and type "procdump [executablename.exe]" while the hung process is still hung.
If you also happen to be willing to test out dev patches when they become available as an attempt to rectify this issue, then that would be appreciated. It takes about 5 minutes to test, and you can easily revert back to a standard state if it does not work by unselecting the patch options.
In the meantime, you can revert to build 6180 in the
archive (instructions in there too). This should allow your game to load. If it does not, please let us know as it means that your issue is probably different, and should most likely be handled in a separate thread with your own
compatibility diagnostic.
