6. Can I use the editor to make levels, and can they be put on the Steam Workshop?

The editor is currently in beta. It is planned to be released 1 to 1 and 1/2 weeks after launch of the full game on Steam. Steam Workshop functionality is in the works but cannot be promised at the release of the editor.

9. DirectX Error - "The call 'CreateDevice' returned error 'E_INVALIDARG: An invalid parameter was passed to the returning function'"

a) Open Monaco.exe file location (program files/steam/steamapps/common/monaco/)
b) Right-click and select "Troubleshoot Compatibility"
c) Walk through compatibility setup and find one that works for you (Win 7 worked for me)


10. Monaco crashes or won't start!

Sometimes installing these redists solves the issue you're having:

a) Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86)
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5555

b) DirectX End-User Runtimes (June 2010)
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109


11. I reinstalled the redists, and Monaco still crashes!

Others have reported success with this method:

a) Go to C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Monaco
b) Right-click on MONACO.exe and "Run as Administrator"


12. STILL CRASHES!

There have been a few reports that Mumble (third party software) crashes the game. You might have to close it to get Monaco to work.

13. Monaco used to work, now it crashes when I try to launch the game! (PC Only)

Your save file may have been corrupted, thus crashing the game when it tries to load it. Go into C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Monaco\SAVEDATA and load Options2.xml

Find the following line:
<SaveName>SaveData.bin</SaveName>

Rename SaveData.bin to something else, like SaveData2.bin

Save and try launching Monaco again. Your data will be lost, but you can recover it if you contact me at [e-mail].

Motionjoy is badly written, ad infested, the driver caused me several BSODs.

This is what I'm using now and it works by syncing your PS3 controller to a bluetooth usb dongle. Then it changes the controller to appear to be a 360 controller. From here you can use xpadder or any other program that can change controller buttons. Simply follow the instructions on the second link and download: SCP-DS3-Driver-Package-0.8.0.100.7z at the bottom in "Attached Files."

YMMV whether it'll work on anything but W7 x64 because that's what I have and use it on.

Please add options to change mouse behaviour, the mouse acceleration in this game is weird for me. Also please add an option to have the cursor always on, it is really weird that you only have a mouse pointer after you picked up a gun.
Thanks in advance.

Heard that LAN is broken. Will be LAN fixed in next patch? Thinking about buying-pack , but with our unstable connection we will probably play it on LAN

I do believe LAN was fixed in that Beta update! Give it a try.

Unfortunately the resolution is still broken for me. I prefer to play in windowmode and i can't set most of the resolutions other than "Default" with the correct result. Normally i use 1600x900 as my windowresolution, but Monaco gives me a window with a size of 1366x569 (including borders). Most of the other resolutions seem to be broken too. 1440x900 results in a window of 1126x569. 1024x768 works fine though. Im am opted into the Beta- version. Please fix it. Thanks in advance and good luck with the game.

with kind regards

Is it possible to play local co-op AND have a third person join via multiplayer?

[Noxogz]

I’m playing online and I have the active filter set to worldwide but everytime I try to connect to a game online it gives me an error telling me I failed to join lobby.

It doesn’t matter if I’m invited to join a friend’s game or if I join a random game it always gives me the same error, also whenever someone tries to join a game I host they always get disconnected.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Also the game does not require any type of newer hardware at all so it's viable a lot of people would like to play it on other systems. Kinda like Torchlight.

Greetings.
Nice game.
Just one issue. Tthe resolutions aren't displaying correctly in windowed mode. Everything above 1024x768 is of a size and/or ratio that is different from that selected.
I hope that this gets fixed when time is available, as fullscreen is unfortunately not always possible.
Otherwise a very nice game.
Thank you for your work, i wish you good luck with the XBLA release.
:)

When I am playing with my friend online, after about 10 minutes the non-host person will disconnect from the game. Anyone else have the same problem?

[Shark]

I've tried all of these and my game still crashes after the initial loading screen. My computer meets the requirements. Plz help

[Lady Selkie]

Thanks for making a Mac version! How do we get involved in the Mac beta?

My friend cannot join because of some issue with his router. What ports does he need to open in order to host/join online matches?

I am haveing the same issue, the non host gets stuck at the connecting screen, the host sees the player as haveing joined and then after awhile the connectong persion times out and leaves the game. Is there any thing that needs to be changed ports wise for the game to work correctly?

I've been able to host games quite often, and I did no port forwarding. I do forward some ports for other games, but the likeliness of this game using the same ports (steamworks aside) is not very high. Games have been sketchy lately, it's possibly just steam server issues.
