Critical Error when opening up the game after the update.

[MrGiggles*]

Meta Quest one on Steam. Reinstalled still has error. tried other games working fine. Any ideas?

Right there with you. Causing my entire computer to hard lock. Opened ticket with MC on their discord, but don't expect to hear anything back any time soon.

[FROGS!!!]

Same here.... Really sad.

Likewise... sometimes it doesn't even get to the critical error and just freezes on startup. Trying out random stuff at the moment.

Got this from the official Discord:
"There is one thing you can try to fix this: In your user profile folder, find your Walkabout Minigolf profile and delete the contents
of this folder C:\Users\\<Username>\AppData\LocalLow\Mighty Coconut\Walkabout Mini Golf\Profiles"

Worked for me, at least on the third try. In the end I started it directly out of my steam library without first opening SteamVR, not sure if that's relevant.

Same issue here. The profile workaround also didn't help.

For what it's worth, it still seems to work via Steamlink rather than Meta Link. Although that came with its own issue (audio not working) which I however eventually fixed.

Same here. SteamVR crash's hard!

Did not work.

Damn okay so this guy is not alone. Seems to be with people on Meta devices :(

Yep.... Might be the death of Walkabout for my group of friends. Nothing has worked. And their "support" team has ignored multiple reports.

I hope they figure out something with the next update. sucks to play new maps alone

Same problem on Quest 2 via PC :-(
but workaround works :-)

No balls, no puters and no heavy levels available when entering the lobby the first time. But when returning from the first course, everything is available as usual.

Hey there,
Our team is looking into this more. I do appreciate people's reporting and for being flagged on it. Sorry you're having an issue with this and appreciate the patience. Like you'd mentioned, some users were able to troubleshoot out of this state; I've seen a few users with this issue this week that were able to roll back to a prior version of SteamVR, as SteamVR had an update last week very close to our update.

With how variable the devices, launch methods, and headset types can be for playing our game on Steam, it'll take time to collect information-- you can open a ticket through one of our official support forums (Discord, email [e-mail]) and send some base info we'll need in order to troubleshoot or get updates about the situation as we look further. (Device+specs, launch method, the behavior you're seeing ie: crash, error message, related.) Some users have been able to troubleshoot successfully, others not yet, which is why I recommended the 1-1 ticket.

In my case the fallback to SteamVR[oculus_win7and8] is working stable up to now.
I'm using Quest 2 with airlink to PC.

How do you roll back your Steam VR version?

Hello MrGiggles,

- go to the library and click on SteamVR
- click on the right side on the gear wheel icon and choose "Properties ..."
- click on betas in the left bar
- next to "Beta Participation" is a box, where you can choose between different releases
- I use at the moment "oculus_win7and8 - v1.15.12 ..."

I hope this helps.
