I have built game source code 601 and have been using art assets 536. However, the game does not start.
I have been following the intsructions from the readme.txt file, but no luck.
One thing I changed in the built.bat file is the enabling of HANDMADE_INTERNAL.
After running c:\build\win32_handmade.exe executable from within the c:\handmade directory, 2 files were created in folder data, namely:
base_game.hha (approx. 136 Mb)
intro_cutscene.hha (approx. 343 Mb)
However, if I start the game once again, so after creating these 2 files, then nothing seems to happen, I just get to see a black window that closes itself after 3 seconds.
Does anyone have an idea of what is going wrong ?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Reason: Initial post
Have you try launching the game from Visual Studio and see what's causing it to close ?
I'm a brand new follower and ran into the same issue. I bodged around it temporarily by changing "#define TEST_SPHERE 0" to 1 to bypass the FullCast call that's crashing, and the game loaded fine after a rebuild. Obviously not the correct solution, but might help other users until that's fixed, as only having a black screen and a crash wasn't a great first-time experience
The crash was at line 679 of handmade_lighting.cpp
with the following callstack
