The Forest Crash

How do i fix my The Forest from crashing when i start a new game, error 2017-01-20_200852
i need some help :(

Starting a new game, correct? Just want to clarify. Are you trying to load a save of the game? Or is it every time you start a new game you get that error?

it happens every time i start a new game

Go to your library, right click the game, local files, verify integrity of game cache. See if that helps at all, could be something messed up with one of your game files and that could repair it. Let me know if that doesn't do anything and I'll look around. Hopefully a dev sees this and knows exactly what that means. I thought it was possibly an old save file since the error seems to be the date for September 22nd, 2016.

Hmm... this is an issue that I'm seeing around, with varying error files similar to yours.

Try this thread, has some helpful looking stuff, but in short if verifying the game didn't work, you could try to either reinstall, or send an email to the devs at [e-mail], send them your specs, and the log file in question

Check your graphics drivers too, see if they need to be updated or even just reinstalled to fix it, but that thread has some good stuff in it. Another at https://steamcommunity.com/app/242760/discussions/0/522728813928724276/

Let him know your system specs, like for example I have Win 10, AMD FX-8320 3.5ghz 8 core, NVIDIA GTX 760, 8 gb RAM

Type in 'dxdiag' on the run bar if you have windows and need to find the specifics

[SWAT]

i dont know how to check that, havent done this before...

[Ham Solo]

Hit the start button, go to "Run", type in 'dxdiag', it'll list your graphics card, CPU, RAM, etc., a window with tabs will pop up. Important parts he needs are the OS, GPU, CPU, and your RAM

If you're not sure which things you need to show him, look at what parts I listed for example and see what's similar sounding lol

Go to that area of dxdiag and send him your chip type, if you're using the Aspire m3970 online specs say it should have a GT 530

Also, highly recommend updating your RAM cause thats super easy. Look into 8 gb, shouldn't be overly expensive and it'll drastically boost your performance from 4 GB. You just take out the old sticks and push the new ones in, simple and easy
