Crashes

[Squin]

Just installed, Editor seems to work fine but I can't use play mode, if I hit host game is just crashes after a few seconds of loading screen.

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having issues. To see what is going on I will need to look at your game logs.

These logs are located at Documents\My Games\MiniGolf Maker\Logs. You can send them to [e-mail] and I will see if I can find what the problem is.

There is no 'Logs' folder, only 'Blueprints', 'Courses', and 'Mods', I tried creating a Logs folder but it was still empty after playing again. I've tried rebooting my PC and reinstalling the game as well.

[Road Turtle Games]

Ok, so that means we'll unfortunately have to go to another location for the logs.

Open Windows Explorer and paste this into the navigation bar:
%userprofile%/AppData/LocalLow/Road Turtle Games/MiniGolf Maker

You should be taken to a folder that has Player.log and Player-prev.log files. You'll need to send both of those files.

There may also be a Crashes folder. If there is one, you'll need to send that whole folder.

- Kevin.

[Squin]

Ok thanks, that got me there, just sent email, no crashes folder

[Road Turtle Games]

Hmm, it looks like I will need to do a lot of research into this. This isn't a problem I've seen before.

Also, I was incorrect about where the Crashes folder is. This folder is actually located at:
%TMP%/Road Turtle Games/MiniGolf Maker

If you could go to that folder and send the Crashes folder that could provide me with more info.

- Kevin

[Squin]

Sent the Crashes folder, thanks for looking into this.

Do you perhaps have an anti-virus or a firewall that could be blocking the game from hosting a lobby? If so, you could try disabling it before running the game and see if you can host then.

- Kevin

[Squin]

The app is allowed on my firewall, tried turning that and anti-virus off to test, but made no difference.

[Squin]

Went through and made sure all my drivers were up to date, no luck.

[Road Turtle Games]

So I don't have any sure solutions for this, so what I'm going to do is try updating the networking code (I use a 3rd party solution) and release a patch.

If that doesn't work, I'll try updating again to an even newer version (that takes a lot more work to update to) and release another patch.

I'll let you know when the patch is released.

- Kevin

[Squin]

Ok, sorry if this ends up being some dumb thing on my end, but I can't think of anything else to try.

Spent some time going through the tutorials and messing around in the course maker, very impressed so far! Eager to dive more into it.

[Road Turtle Games]

The update has been released. Let me know if it works.

I also added the ability to start an offline game. I would be interested to see if that works for you.

- Kevin

[Squin]

No change with hosting a game, but the offline game works just fine, so I'm happy with that for now.

[Road Turtle Games]

That's a shame, but I am glad that the offline mode works, and it does confirm that the problem lies with trying to connect to the hosting service I use. I still would like to try doing another update of my networking code. I'll need a bit more time for that, though.

No trouble downloading and playing workshop courses either, haven't tried uploading anything yet, have not had the opportunity to try joining an online game.
