There have been numerous problem reports about WolfQuest quitting only when the user attempts a certain action, often when trying to use the multiplayer feature, or crashing when attempting to join a multiplayer session. A lot of the time the 'game closing' issue is down to the user's anti-virus, particularly those which have an integrated firewall in the program that's causing the issue, while the crashing issue has been more common since 2.5.1 was released.
To prevent this, you will need to add WolfQuest or its ports to the anti-virus program's firewall exceptions, not your computer's firewall unless problems persist, in order to allow the game to make the necessary connections required for it to connect to the user database (http://wolfquest.org) and the game server provided by Unity. For information on adding ports to your router/firewall, please review the related links. :)
If your anti-virus doesn't have a built-in firewall but you're encountering a 'stopped working' error dialogue box, the problem is being caused by Windows Data Execution Prevention -- this can be resolved manually. Go to 'Computer' > click 'System Properties' > click 'Advanced System Settings' > under the 'Advanced' tab should be a section titled 'Performance'. Click 'settings', then click the 'Data Execution Prevention' tab > select the option "turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select:", then choose the 'Add' box and navigate to the directory where WolfQuest was installed to--
x32 bit computers: C:\Program Files\WolfQuest
x64 bit computers: C:\Program Files (x86)\WolfQuest
Add WolfQuest to the DEP list then click the OK box. You may be prompted the restart your computer, which I advise doing to ensure the changes are applied. After rebooting, run WolfQuest and retry.
If the error is something along the lines of "WolfQuest has crashed, submit a report to the developers", this has become quite common with multiplayer and usually happens while attempting to connect to a multiplayer session; this has not been fixed, and must be patched by the game's developers. There is no manual patch. You can persist; eventually, you'll be able to connect without a problem. There's nothing that can be done about this error; a crash log will be generated in the WolfQuest installation directory (see above) which you can send to the team via e-mail -- please see the related links for relevant information on how to do this.
