We're sorry. Something went wrong
I bought this game a few months ago. At the time I only installed it to see if everything was ok with the controller and if the game worked. Everything was in order. In the meantime, I never touched the game again. I don't even have 10 minutes of gameplay. Now, whenever I try to play this error message appears. I have uninstalled and installed countless times, I have seen the drivers for all the hardware. Please ask for some help because I paid for this game, I can no longer ask for a refund because of the time period. I could post teh error message but it doens'nt allow images. It says: "We're sorry. Something went wrong :(
Please allow us to send this error to help fix the problem" It has some links, and 2 buttons to "send" or "don't send" the report. Can anyone help please? This happens to more people?

Try verifying game files.
In Steam, right click on the game, select properties, go to local files tab and press verify integrity of game files.

It seems that there are cases where the game cannot be started due to corrupted save data, so you may be able to get a clue by trying the following.

・Turn off Steam cloud.
・Delete local save data. (Please make a backup in advance)
・Try starting the game.

Save data is here
C:\Users\[username]\Saved Games\Avalanche Studios\CotWTheAngler

Having the same issue, crashing on launch every time :zagpls:.

updated all drivers, running as admin, steam cloud disabled, and dedicated to using my GPU for the program.

its real disappointing that no one seems to care about the problems we are having, i really liked this game and would love to have it working again.

Less than 2 hrs of playtime? Refund it and get it for free on Epic.

Wbr, shnoopx

I'm really sorry for you guys :(
But I suck at informatics, I know the basics, if I could I would really try to help you out, but I barely know how it worked for me! I just followed the instructions that some mates told me to do in this topic :/

Check if your antivirus is blocking the game. I know i have had problems before with my antivirus blocking or limiting them.

getting Employees to read or respond on steam is rare. I've seen maybe 3 responses in the last year and jaxy only really says about going on discord to report bugs and ideas. The hunter call of the wild had the under powered 45-70 for a few years people were on here talking about it but it wasn't until someone said on a live stream that they even heard that it was under powered.

Make sure you override windows defender (if using windows) to allow it. Some game(mainly online ones) need this to happen at your end.
Been months since I last played, updated and verified game files and am having the same issue...latest gpu drivers too.
