Suddenly crashes in the middle of local multiplayer.

[The Chaos Maker]

We start a local multiplayer game with 2 or 3 players and the game works fine until a few minutes in, it freezes before crashing. I have tried verifying the local files and it downloads a few files but when I try playing it again, it does the exact same thing. I hope you can help me because me and my friends want to play this game more.

[A JANITOR]

Verify game cache is useless if reinstall game 798 times it's still broken=same goes for every steam game!!!!
8 files missing=still broken!!!
1000+ files missing=yep that fix it!
Keep the saves folder (keeps the office stash) and delete everything else in viscera folder
Now verify game cache will reinstall the game properly

What map does said crash happen on?
Anything unusual in the game log files after it crash on ya

Also can try this after reinstall
Open UDKEngine.ini with notepad
Change Port 27015 to 7777 and save the file=goodbye empty server list!!!
It fix Lan fail
It fix steam server browser
It fix ingame internet join server list=never empty always a server to join
It fix everything

Forward ports in router
UDP/TUPN ...........TCP too if lets you use all 3 of em!!
7777
7778
27015... brokenl=cancelled connect attempt (it used to be 7777 in vcd alpha/beta
27016

Check steam server browser to see that it can find viscera servers
Start the game see if server list is not empty

direct connect=google whats my ip=doesn't work never has since the day vcd got multiplayer
use static ipv4 address esp if on lan but fix will fix the broken lan list too

If both are empty
Win 10
Open windows firewall
Add port 7777 to in and outbound rules and allow connection
In both inbound and outbound rules set steam.exe to allow connection
Do same for all the UDK.exe rules and all the viscera rules including the Sr and sw spinoff games

(Windows disabled connection by default=cancelled connect attempt windows blocks connection)

This Arma 3 server fix that works in VCD I made 5 years ago is still working!
Opt into steam beta
Create a static IPv4 address in network and sharing centre to get free static ip if router not support Nat traversal n forward ports via the static IP
That's if dynamic IP stops port forwarding from working when restart router or turn PC off n on again

Only way it works for me as nothing on the internet works at all as my router not support NAT traversal and it's ISP locked
Telstra
Dodo
Optus
IPrimus
Auzzie broadband

Any router I tested this fix with almost all of my steam friends=fix works like a charm:)

Fix works on win 7 8 8.1 and win 10
Without that fix multiplayer doesn't work at all on every PC and router I have ever had=about 10 different PC n routers all had same problem on unboxing day=Microsoft broke it

Workaround if have medical rust workshop map if can't join any level=
Unsub or all sub to medical rust that map can break multiplayer in every map=radio tries to play 2 csgo songs on every radio in every level
Soda factory can also interfere with multiplayer along with any map that not green in the workshop map section ingame
If soda factory screws it up unsubscribe and reinstall the game again n reset the port tweak in UDKEngine.ini file

If WiFi is too slow use cable it's much better than WiFi

Also host and client content must match or it will crash
Make sure all are on a clean install n unsubscribe from any broken workshop maps
Most or all do work in multiplayer
Mine n fodder's n carthief maps all of those work in multiplayer

Try to keep the net actor saturation message from showing or it will go haywire in style=client vision:)

No blood footprints cheat
Host game
Game rules
Set blood footprints to none
That works in solo speedrun all DLC and every level including workshop maps
Goodbye blood footprints hello stable server now go kill player 2 for spilling your )

Random Map of choice
Pool of death 2
Weapon of choice
Vacuum cleaner or semi automatic machine gun
Hold left mouse to shoot guns/use tools
Portal gun included!
Shrink em with the Shrink-O-Big-O-Matic gun 1st then put Shrink-O-Big-O-Matic gun somewhere tiny janitor can't reach it chase after em with the vacuum cleaner it's funny
The incinerator laser gun also a nice way to kill it in multiplayer:)
Fiddle with the sport O Matic lever for some extra fun n make sure you flush someone down the toilet so they get eaten by sewer monster:)

Play a game of ice hockey in multiplayer I double dare ya:)

Check PC not have dust in the heat syncs or fans sometimes you have to clean that too so ya don't murder it!

Unplug power from router Turn router on to drain leftover power
Wait 15 second n plug it back in to reset your router too incase that is killing the connection
Check PC not overheating

Best if all players have all DLC and subbed to the same maps as eachother=less likely to freak out on you
if pc can take it max out the physics option=bins work better n trunk wont have a dance party
set fov to 110=ya wont spill anywhere near as many buckets as you usually do n it makes stacking much easier:)

[The Chaos Maker]

My problem was Local Multiplayer not LAN or online multiplayer, so I have not touched the forward porting part of your trouble shooting.

I have done the first part of the paragraph about deleting and re-verifying the files. I started waste disposal (a map that crashed when played) in local multiplayer with 3 players and I was able to go on for way longer instead of the 5 minutes last time. Only one character was moving at a time so It was not accurate as 3 player moving around all at once.

I'm not 100% sure, but maybe all maps were giving me problems because we tried one map (santa's workshop) and crashed, then we tried a different one (waste disposal) and it crashed.

[A JANITOR]

isn't local lan
i thought splitscreen coop only support two players but if it support more i dunno if one of the gamepads are causing it
anyway trying that stuff firewall as last resort usually clears up all connection issues with online and offline/local coop
changing the port to 7777 fixed lan on my end as well as splitscreen for some unknown reason
maybe check the log file at top of log file folder list with notepad after it crashes
the last few lines might tell you why it crash=google error or post log file here
fodder myself or devs might be able to help you fix it

your coop session should not die on ya unless the walls are bleeding lol
almost sound like autosave is killing it try setting that to 0

since its a clean install it run much better
good idea to get others to reinstall too esp if had this game from early access or before vulcan dlc got added
i have alot of mods/maps installed=1 mistake when i make a map and multiplayer wont work so no mistakes=all mp works until the internet turns itself off n it takes alot of blood to crash the server(make a mess instead of cleaning to murder the server)
if devs update the game again=i probably have alot of workshop map hotfix updates to do to keep it running smoothly as dev updates usually break something esp rocks or multiplayer/both:)

also win 10
run the udk.exe as admin compatabillity mode for win 7
use steam play button to play

join yourself in multiplayer=(dev test i use this to test my workshop maps in multiplayer debug)
start from steam play button host map online
alt tab out start udk.exe from game dir
join server with pc static ipv4adress in direct connect
alt tab between games to switch players=can get all multiplayer achievements ecept pass the torch on 1 pc
avoid alt tabbing in workshop maps that use outside terrain so ground wont disappear=known engine bug
useful if want to get the online achievements if cant find people to join in any map
32 bit seems more stable than 64 bit n the txt to speech works too

anyway sorry for the book but it shouldn't crash on you like that
maybe autosave is causing it turn that off set it to 0

[BlackEagle]

Hmm, that's odd.

If none of the above helps, then could you please post the contents of your Launch.log file here for review after a crash. It should tell us something about what went wrong.

You can find the file under the game's install directory: \Steam\SteamApps\Common\Viscera\UDKGame\Logs\

[A JANITOR]

Oh hang on a sec I remember something from a few years ago maybe 2014
Others reported mp or game crash in offline mode after X amount of time
The fix was simple
Set autosave to 0 disabled
Go in VCD update tab from steam library and disable steam cloud sync permanently!
Put steam in online mode your friends list put that in online mode so you are visible to your friends!
Offline or invisible or sleep might cause it
Game wants to know it connects to internet
To bypass that turn the router off n it won't die on ya if playing offline coop or solo


Sounds stupid but I know this game from the inside of the Dev kit n deep into its behaviour
Engine has its quirks!
Sometimes it's something very simple
It could also be another program that interfere with Steam
Close all unused program=all crap on taskbar that you not using
Sound icon antivirus icon and steam icon and the GPU app icon along with the game icon should be only things on taskbar=essential services only=PC much faster too

Still post that log file if it crash on your side
Someone else is reporting a similar problem

I hope windows update didn't break something (again=windows defender has a cat fight with the game engine=windows defender sux) recently Bugrosoft Bugrows 10 is good at breaking games

As long as internet doesn't turn itself off=outages etc
The game should not crash in a coop session unless you paint the whole map red
I've recently played some multiplayer and it never crashed on me at all it just works although the internet sux in Australia n that works when it feels like it

The fix above I posted I been using since the day VCD had multiplayer added in vcd beta/Alpha n it's still working=it's the only fix that works I researched for very long time as coop never worked so I fixed it permanently online and offline

If playing split screen co-op it's best to have Xbox 360 controllers=or same brand of controllers for all players

[A JANITOR]

Oh yeah I forgot 1 more thing
Turn off steam workshop icon ingame if playing offline or local co-op
Then it won't timeout (crash the game)when it tries to search online for steam workshop map updates

[The Chaos Maker]

It only crashes when I have at least 2 players running around at the same time, so when I get someone over to test it and see if it crashes or not, I will reply back with my findings.

[The Chaos Maker]

I have tried playing it again yesterday with a friend to see if it would still crash, I had the autosave set to 0 and I changed my port to 7777. I'm not sure if the game ran longer than all the other times. Here is the launch.log.

That's really odd
Especially the end of the log as it seems like it can't find several objects or materials
Did you see any blue n white squares in waste disposal or was the map missing body parts etc?
Did you unsubscribe from any workshop maps that you took custom objects to the office??? Resub to maps you collected stuff from to clear error if custom objects are causing the office to crash at punchout

Sure ya reinstalled the game and not loading an old save file=starting new fresh map without loading any save files
Verify game cache doesn't work at all until all game assets are deleted
Open the viscera folder
Keep the saves folder so ya don't lose the office collection
Delete everything else in the viscera folder=
An empty viscera folder with a save folder in it
Verify the game cache to reinstall the game as 1st run clean install
Change the port back to 7777 if that fixed the empty server browser if port forwarding and windows firewall is correct or if 27015 is fine leave it as is

Looking at the log it looks like something is corrupt or missing and until whatever file/s are causing it are deleted it will continue to crash on ya
It shouldn't crash like that on you

Perhaps BlackEagle has a better idea especially if reinstalled and it's still missing or failing to read it's own files

If the installation is not corrupt only thing I can think of is to update
Direct X 9c and DX 11 n if PC can run 32 bit and 64 bit programs install both the 32 and 64 bit visual C++ runtime redist files below
Run the ue3 redist exe file as administrator in the games folder too!
Update dot net framework 4.5 (if it fails on win 10 ignore it n update current version of dot net)
If the directx installer in the games 1st run installer fails ignore it as it often fails to install just download dx 9c n install it as administrator
Make sure visualc ++ 2010 and 2013 redist is installed
Those files are on Microsoft website
Run windows update after that and restart PC

Try Playing again on both 64 and 32bit VCD n if windows 10 set the UDK.exe files in the game binaries folder
Both 64 and 32 bit exe to run as administrator comparability mode for windows 7
Use steam play button to start VCD
Windows will ask if ya want to run the game press yes n play co-op all day until the internet drops out or if the walls are dark red n too much blood crashes the server
It shouldn't crash unless you paint the walls with alot of blood

If you're copy is fine but the friends copy isn't get Freind to reinstall the game too
If is split screen co-op on 1 PC
Update the gamepad drivers
Split screen co-op only supports 2 of the same make of gamepad
IE
2 X Xbox 360 controllers (USB devices with a USB cord on em not wireless ones)
VCD one can't use 1 controller and the keyboard or mouse in split screen co-op on 1 pc
If it's Lan on 2 computers one machine has a borked game install reinstall game on both computers

Whatever is causing it isn't normal it's like the games upk files are corrupt or PC user is a guest=windows uac bug if you are administrator

To diagnose that try n copy and paste a blank txt file into the viscera mods folder
If get access denied message as administrator user then windows uac vs windows defender is bugged
Take ownership script will fix that if windows won't let you save copy or paste anything into the game install directory n gives access denied message you need administrator privileges to perform this action=wtf I am administrator
If you're administrator and get that error the game won't be able to read it's DLL files or be able to save the game correctly
Take ownership of program files x86 folder and all sub folders and files
Only use take ownership script for your version of windows and only administrator can use it
Look on bleeping computer website for an installer it adds take ownership option to right mouse button when clicking anything on PC and it fixes administrator thinks it's a guest windows defender uac bug=happens to me every time I get a new PC or if I reinstall windows=Microsoft broke it even if reinstall windows 789 times it bugged again
Don't take ownership of windows folder system 32 or 64 folders or the recycle bin
It ok to use script on everything else=it stop windows 10 from trying to kill itself and will stop it from working like faulty Xmas tree lights causing crashes and bsod screen in everything that is installed on PC
Then it lets you save files to program files x86 folder=uac bug fixed

If you're a guest get the administrator to give the guest full read and write access to the steam folder so VCD won't go haywire on windows guest user account

Running out of possible fixes for you
Something is not right=needle in a haystack to find what's causing it especially if it's a clean reinstall

It shouldn't crash like that

Also check the time limit option in multiplayer settings in the game options incase that is terminating the co-op session

If none of that Fix the problem wait for the Devs to help you they might have a better solution
If there is more of that log file post the rest of it here unless that's where it crash on ya on the last line log shows is where it crashes if log is incomplete

In steam library right click the game go to updates tab and turn off/permanently disable steam cloud sync for VCD
Open the viscera folder and find the autosaves folder
Delete all autosave files included the ones in that folders backup folder
Start the game and set autosave to 0 disabled

This will stop steam cloud from automatically reinstalling corrupt and deleted saves over n over again every single time you start the game=very annoying too as it also causes unreleased workshop maps to fail to upload to steam workshop after testing the level ingame(delete all the autosaves to fix it then it not fail to upload)=steam cloud is a right royal pain in the @$$ it screws up every UDK 3 and 4 game in my Steam library n all it takes to bug the cloud sync is 1 internet dropout juring gameplay of any game in my Steam library it causes crashes and it corrupts save files
Steam cloud sync is unwanted game feature n VCD n all unreal engine 3 and 4 game in my library work fine without it
Save the game from pause menu
The office will still autosave if use the office exit door after you punchout from a level
Now steam cloud won't Auto Bork the game after every reinstall or after internet dropouts during gameplay or if played offline and went online next week/tomorrow/next year n played online or offline co-op or if ya play solo by yourself

Disable the steam workshop icon in the games main menu if you playing offline so it doesn't crash when the mod installer times out especially if steam isn't running or if steam is running but the internet is down on ya router is disabled on ya taskbar or from network n sharing centre adaptor settings/options
Turn the workshop back on when playing online(router is connected to the internet) or if running the game from steam so don't miss out on workshop map updates

The steam workshop icon if left enabled in offline will crash the game after the mod installer times out when it tries to search the workshop for map updates etc

Best of luck this issue sounds frustrating to deal with=ouch

Try this 1st after you reinstall the game
Disable the steam workshop icon in the main menu 1st then play co-op offline=Start map from the beginning without loading any save files!
That might be what is causing it to crash X minutes into a co-op session
Check the time limit option too to make sure it's not kicking everyone off the session
Turn the workshop icon back on(when you can write stuff in here so the game can install and update workshop maps) PC internet is online
Turn it off when can't write stuff in here (PC internet is offline to stop the workshop installer from crashing the game when it times out searching for a workshop that doesn't exist)
If a corrupt save is causing problem start map as new and overwrite the borked save with the new save so it won't crash or go haywire n turn a door control panel into a gas cloud lever when you load that save

Old saves after game and workshop map updates and steam cloud often Borks some of or 1 or all your saves
Disable the cloud for VCD it much better
If I update a workshop map n your game updates the map n you have a save of that map Start map again and overwrite that save to update the save system so loading saves won't flush the toilet when you try n use the elevator etc
Same if Devs updated the game n load a save n the doors don't work in evil science
Another reason why steam cloud sux

Same if wonder why postal 4 crashes after Devs update the game=steam cloud completely f ucks the game up disable it's cloud sync and delete the autosaves to fix it but if not disable the cloud for that it reinstall the saves you just deleted every time you start the game=new game loads broken save file
Continue game loads broken save file
Reinstall game=steam cloud f ucks it up again
Disable cloud deleted the saves again for the 798th time=Start new game=hooray I can play postal 4 without crashing the game until the Devs update the game again reinstall it n if the saves go haywire delete the saves and start a new game instead of complaining on steam forum P4 early access!
Same goes for VCD if n when it gets updated or if a workshop maps get updated use new saves for those n overwrite the existing saves for the level played to fix old saves from screwing up the map if load a save of it
All content must be current for the game to work properly especially if playing online co-op

[A JANITOR]

Hopefully it's as simple as turning off that workshop icon in the main menu to stop it crashing in offline mode especially if the game has been reinstalled properly n ya Start the game and the ue3 installer runs before the game starts for the 1st time
(if see a firewall pop up press allow as if say no that can screw the game up if refuse firewall permission)now you can play co-op all day without any crashes
That is most handy especially if you don't have unlimited internet n ya turn it off to save on data usage???


_____________________
Verify game cache is useless if it says 8 or 10 files missing manually delete the games files delete local content is useless too n so is the games uninstaller.
keep the saves folder then verify the game cache=1000+ files missing=now it will fix the game instead of skipping old or corrupt game assets
Same with postal 4
Destroy all humans
Subnautica
Rooks keep
Viscera cleanup detail
Santa's rampage spinoff
Shadow warrior spinoff
Bioshock 1 2 n 3
Goat simulator
Steam cloud f ucks em all up
Any game that runs on UDK 3 or 4 or 5 in ones steam library (DISABLE STEAM CLOUD FOR IT PERMANENTLY WHEN YOU BUY IT) and when ue5 games get released when the PS 5 comes out THEN STEAM CLOUD WON'T BORK THOSE GAMES TOO. N if a game update screws it up reinstall it n start a new game to fix it n if someone update a mod or map use a new save for it(overwrite the old save with new save)
Just like installing a Minecraft mod n it screws up the block I'd's n cubes turn into something different when you load a save but in UDK trigger 3 becomes trigger 168 after map or game updates vs old save files

Steam cloud totally screwed up Grounded too n it took me a while to Fix the steam cloud sync bug again n had to reinstall that game too
Cause of problem=internet dropouts juring gameplay and if play offline= next time you start the game steam syncs wrong data n screws games up when start the game after exiting the game n steam cloud reinstalls old corrupt broken saves over n over again every single time you start the game(can alt tab out of the game n literally see steam cloud automatically reinstall deleted saves n it drives you crazy to the max)=disable the cloud sync for all unreal engine games delete all the autosaves that you just deleted again to fix steam cloud bug
then steam cloud won't f uck it up again:)
Reinstall the game if Devs update the game=verify game cache skips old game files (is that why I had a cooked PC folder from vcd alpha in my viscera folder after VCD left early access in VCD 1.0 full release=yep it's still broken after Devs deleted said folder in vcd beta said folder was still in my viscera folder after verifying the game cache 15391 times=8 files missing=still broken
verify game cache is useless until you nuke it 1st
Nuke it with Revo uninstaller if manually deleting game files vs verify game cache doesn't fix it will nuke the registry with it.
just backup your saves before ya nuke it n press the install button for said game in ya library n ya won't have to contact steam support esp if pressing the install button fails to install the game!
Running ccleaner or the all in 1 maintenance button in Glary utilities also fix windows up if said game is super stubborn=red dead 2 as an example people reinstall windows to try n fix it=still broken steam cloud f ucks it up too vs rockstar launcher=no point reinstalling windows lol n red dead 2 not crash on me n can play that all day

Steam cloud is like 1 drive=1 drive screws up windows 10 and steam cloud sync screws steam games up=disable both of em so it can't screw it up:)
Don't disable the cloud in steam settings only do it on the game updates tab so it doesn't break games like Dota 2 TF2 or portal 1 or 2=valves games need the main cloud!
Now that Microsoft recently force enabled the worst program ever n it won't let you disable it anymore=windows defender sux n is worse than a virus=welcome to Bugrosoft Bugrows 10 where everything doesn't work properly
Install avast antivirus or 3rd party antivirus is only way to disable that crap now from interfering with games
Don't use Norton or McAfee or it turns PC into the world's slowest boat anchor=it bricks ya pc so be careful when you update flash player that it doesn't install McAfee as that hard to get rid of
If you have avast especially the free version uninstall the avast safe price extension that screws games up too
Enable the web extension=never get a virus off the net
Never disable windows firewall or avast
Avast automatically whitelist your games for you=no issues with multiplayer vs avast

If the friend you trying to join online got vcd for free off a torrent site tell em to buy the game and both the DLC
Tell em to Nuke it with Revo uninstaller Pro and verify the game cache in steam to fix the game then go play online co-op
Online or offline co-op won't work on a torrent=enjoy the virus

Co-op doesn't work offline if the steam workshop icon is enabled it will crash several minutes after starting a session
Mod installer will time out n crash the game
Turn it back on when PC internet is on to keep mods up to date
Turn it off again when go offline again then play mods etc in co-op offline all day without any crashes

Host content must match client content for co-op to work properly
Co-op also won't work properly if someone cheated the map in the level editor of if host has medical rust map installed and client doesn't have that map=radio tries to play 2 csgo songs on every radio in every level=cancelled connect attempt on every map until ya both sub or unsubscribe from it

Co-op won't work in split screen on 1 PC if try to use keyboard mouse and 1 game controller
Use 2 controllers that are the same as you can't use keyboard and mouse in split screen co-op
2x USB Xbox 360 controllers work fine
So do PS3 PS4 or Xbox One controllers if install the 3rd party software for those especially if they are wireless controllers
Disable the steam workshop icon if ya play offline
Turn it back on when you're online then it won't crash

[ronber]

nice

[A JANITOR]

aye the salt is tasty but it is quite frustrating if you experience an issue that shouldn't be doing what it is doing.
over the years of modding this game (almost 6 years/since the day it got a level editor) I have had every damn problem you can think of n more than is written in the forums entire bug report forums or whatever you can do a google search on (learning to use the level editor without breaking the game a miriad of times in so many weird ways and help from devs has taught me alot about debugging this game and forcing it to work when it dioesn't want to work
all of said issues were perplexing but easy to fix esp after tossing Nvidia in the incinerator n going for AMD as Nvidia hates unreal engine with avengence(lags in everything when AMD has no issues) but ops problem is not the nvidia driver or the gpu

what usually screws tis game up on new pc unboxing day
number 1=Microsoft breaks it because microsoft broke windows 10 on new pc unboxing day=erm why VCD not work n why is everything thats installed bugging out
2=nvidia users don't know what nvidia physx driver is=unreal engine uses this driver but is not included in nvidia gpu driver updates=its why everyone with nvidia complains of lag in every steam game when it runs faster without a video card=fps issues
3 missing redist files=yep that will break it too
windows update f ucks it up sometimes too
windows 8 8.1 and windows 10 retail=home pro platinum tech edition business etc all have same bug when windows loads for the 1st time after reinstalling windows=windows defender borks the administrator account that forces it to be a guest=take ownership script to fix that every time i get a new pc
windows update decides to install wrong sound driver=makes the game lag heaps
your video card melted so how do i play vcd or update one of my workshop maps=easy force the game to run at 60fps on 32mb intel graphics on an i5 del office pc with 1 fan in it that used to have windows vista on it n everyone with nvidia still complains that it lags even though it run at 60fps on the worlds worst pc n it didn't have enough memory to start goat simulator(out of video memory error n vcd still run at 60 fps hahaha looool=cool vcd runs without a video card @ 60fps with no lag at all for 2 years=yay n it still let me make new maps on it=the level editor use more memory than the game does n the editor not lag or die on me either=muhwahaha VCD only playable game in my steam library after video card melted=lol rolf lmfao
reinstall windows=been there done that=still broken
microsoft screws up the windows firewall again=applies reverse engineered Arma 3 multiplayer hack for VCD again to fix multiplayer when my fix that i made is the only fix that works no matter what you google=fix still working for 6 years n still works now=online server browser is never empty=theres always a server to join!

ops problem to me sounds like a corrupt intstall n steam cloud might automatically corrupting the new install esp after seeing the partial log file=i can read the log files and understand what can go wrong n how to fix it
windows uac might be part of it=take ownership script to fix windows 10 admin account (if it doesn't let you save anything in the games mods folder) so it doesn't think its a guest=windows stops crashing n going haywire like faulty xmass tree lights in everything thats installed on ya pc n magically fixes itself
deal with disabling the cloud so it doesn't cause even more problems=the ultimate game breaker
splitscreen offline co-op on 1 pc=can only use 2 of the same type of gamepad
xbox 360 usb controllers work fine=built into the engine by default
keyboard n mouse n 1 controller is not compatible=splitscreen is unplayable
fixing port 27015 as that doesn't work at all=change it to 7777=goodbye empty server list n hello multiplayer that never fails to connect(don't need to add 300 freinds it works with anyone even if they don't add you)
disable the workshop icon if play co-op offline(pc internet is disabled) so steam workshop map installer doesn't crash the game when it times out when trying to search online for map updates
n once ya finally fix it then it works fine forever until windows update screws it up again

in general most people have no problems out of the box but for me everything that can go wrong happens to me n im more helpful than steam support

listen to devs if they reply they may have a better solution than i have
the list of stuff i wrote in general is quite alot of things one can try to fix the problem

reinstall the game after deleting leftover files manually while keeping the saves folder so not lose your office collection=is the best fix
applying ini tweaks=to fix multiplayer
applying firewall rules manually to fix windows 10's broken firewall so it can actually use port forwarding on your router instead of blocking it by default=yay multiplayer works online and offline
oh cool forwarding the same ports for vcd n fixing windows buggy 10's broken bugged out firewall with my VCD multiplayer fix i made 6 years ago fixed multiplayer in Grounded/every steam game in my library on an isp locked router


irony is once i fix VCD every time i get a new pc (runs perfectly on ryzen 7 system after spending a week fixing windows 10 AGAIN ON UNBOXING DAY VCD FINALLY runs like well oiled clockwork only then will you know that you finally fixed windows 10 so everything thats installed actually works instead of dying on you=YEAH THANKS MICROSOFT-NOT
it's harder to keep pacthes for workshop maps up to date so my maps won't cause even more problems n as long as those work in multiplayer only then do i know that it won't say cancelled connect attempt when i go to play a dev vanilla map and 30000+map subs won't complain about it
make 1 mistake in the level editor n being a workshop creator=you get bombarded by bugs n crash reports instead of compliments
compliments are more satisfyng esp if people stream it on youtube or twich etc
find a bug ill fix it say something so i don't find said bugs when i watch it on youtube

this a good game it can be annoying if get problems=its not the devs fault=swear at Microsoft if ya can't fix it n use dr google to fix windows so ya can actually play all ya steam games=lol WELCOME TO BUGROSOFT BUGROWS 10

whats really funny=
every single time i get a new pc even after i reinstall windows 6937 times i need to use VCD to fix windows 10 as the game won't work properly until windows uac defender vs firewall bugs are fixed along with all the other things microsoft broke just so i can keep my workshop maps up to date just so everyone else can enjoy em n so i can make more maps=cant save a new map if widows defender uac thinks administrator is a guest bug won't let you save said level in the games mods folder=said bug prevents the game from reading dll files n writing to ini files etc=big problem that affects everything installed on your pc
once you can save in that folder/anywhere without getting stupid windows (that breaks everything thats installed on you pc)access denied you need admin privilages to perform this action=WTF i am administrator=yep nothing installed on pc will work properly until run take ownership script from bleeping computer website
until thats fixed windows buggy 10 will do this to you=
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMXpyxW2lkk
once VCD is fixed=everything installed on windows is fixed=i find this hillarious that i need this game to fix windows 10 on every single new pc unboxing day i ever had while owning this game=10 computers later i still needed vcd to fix all of em
take pc to pc repair shops=they stare at you like an idiot n $300 later it still broken=fix it yourself its free=dr google it

when everything is fixed n Bugrosoft Bugrows 10's admin bug is fixed only then will all of your games and programs will work properly (exept for microsoft train simulator 2010 and the entire series of harry potter as microsoft broke those!
only microsoft sim that doesn't work cuz the dlc for it was free dlc=lol

when windows 10 is truly fixed one will be greeted with this if ya look at the server browser=
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=592396237
number of players is bugged it always says 0 players join a server n be 1 of 30 max players on a server
most i had on my server was 28 players in a workshop map n 26 players on the robot map=lots of fun
then red dead 2 will work instead of crashing n multiplayer will also magically fix itself in Grounded and VCD=press join and it will connect=no such thing as cancelled connect attempt i fixed that permanently=servers never fail to connect n play VCD all day in multiplayer with no crashes

multiplayer is slowly dying=i wish devs would change the port back to 7777 LIKE IT WAS IN VCD BETA=the server browser was full back in vcd beta n that still works=since im the only one who fixed it properly my server and 1 other p[layers server (not a freind) are the only server visible in the steam server browser today other than the usual 5 or 6 available servers
port 7777
peer port 27016
add port 7777 to in and outbound rules in windows firewall for TCP and again for UDP and allow connection (total of 4 firewall rules for port 7777 2 in inbound and 2 in outbound rules)
change all in and outbound rules for build with udk and udk.exe rules
do same for steam.exe
do same for viscera cleanup detail main game sr and sw spinoff games
(firewall blocks connection by default=cancelled connect attempt=microsoft f ucked windows firewall and windows defender)
forward ports in router=
7777
7778
27015=doesn't work at all forward it anyway and open udkengine.ini and change 27015 to 7777
alfo forward this one
27016
UDP/UDN NOT TCP UNLESS IT LETS YOU USE ALL 3 OF EM
USE STATIC IPV4 ADRESS DYNAMIC IP DOESN'T WORK IF ROUTER NOT SUPPORT NAT TRAVERSAL
works like a charm FIXES THE FOLLOWING BUGS=
EMPTY INTERNET SERVER BROWSER INGAME=JOIN ANYONE WITHOUT ADDING THEM AS FREINDS
STEAM SEVER BROWSER FIXED (WHEN NOT PLAYING THE GAME JOIN A SERVER IT AUTOMATIC START GAME AND AUTOMATIC JOINS SERVER FOR YOU!!!)
FIXES LAN FAIL LAN WONT CONNECT UNTIL CHANGE THE PORT IN INI FILE TO 7777
IT FIX ERMPTY LAN LIST
IT FIX FREINDS LIST
FIXES DIRECT CONNECT
IT FIX ALL MULTIPLAYER PROBLEMS=SERVER LIST NEVER EMPTY N SERVER NEVER FAIL TO JOIN N YA DON'T NEED A VPN
PLAY MULTIPLAYER ALL DAY WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS

FIX IS STILL WORKING 6 YEARS SOLID N STILL WORKING TODAY=PERMAFIX
SAME FIX TESTED ON WIN 7 8 8.1 AND WIN 10 ALL VERSIONS OF WINDOWS 32 OR 64 BIT=FIXED WORKS HOME PRO PLATINUM I TRIED ALL OF EM
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=728500402
FIX WONT WORK IF YA DISABLE WINDOWS FIREWALL
IF YOU SEARCH FOR SEVERS IN STEAM SERVER BROWSER AND ITS EMPTY CHANGE FREINDS OPTION IN STEAM TO ONLINE N PRESS REFRESH=HELLO SERVERS TO JOIN

PORT 27015=cancelled connect attempt=broken since the day it was added
EMPTY INGAME INTERNET SERVER BROWSER
BROKEN STEAM SERVER BROWSER=DOESN'T WORK AT ALL
CAN'T JOIN FREINDS
FREINDS CANT JOIN YOU
LAN FAIL TO CONNECT
DIRECT CONNECT FAIL
NOTHING WORKS=BROKEN
ON TOP OF THAT MICROSOFT BROKE WINDOWS FIREWALL

so i fix it myself permanently
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1584220906
now anyone can join my server if i host one if they look at the internet tab
once you see your server on the lan tab you know its visible on the online tab for everyone exept you n if anyone clicks join its joins my server=you don't have to add steam freinds anyone can play
FREINDS OPTION MUST BE SET TO ONLINE FOR EVERYONE TO SEE YOUR SERVER
YOU MUST PORT FORWARD OR NOBODY WILL SEE YOUR SERVER
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=827086531

basically everything ive written here n all over this games forums will fix almost every damn bug steam vs unreal engine 3 or 4 vs BUGROSOFT BUGROWS 10 can throw at you

[A JANITOR]

long story short=
play local split screen co-op offline with 2 players using 2 xbox 360 controllers or ps3 ps4 or xbox 1 controllers n can only use 1 type of controller for all players and you can't use the mouse or keyboard=disable the steam workshop icon so it doesn't crash a few minutes/an hour into your session then play the game all day but don't forget to feed the sharks n put lit tnt in your freinds bin or suck em up with a vacuum cleaner or flush someone down the toilet or push player 2 in front of a garbage truck or zap em with a shrinking gun then suck em up with a vacuum cleaner n shoot em with a machine gun when they respawn then make em clean themself up while you stand there doing nothing watching them mop up then go n spill thier bucket when it gets dirty n if they stop playing build a wall of crates around them n put dirty buckets on top of it so when they come back from the toilet they make a mess trying to get out of box jail=yes its a thing in workshop maps along with a working 3d portal gun=portals dont stick to walls you can shoot open portals all over the place (Im gonna have to make a new portal map the gun is pretty cool n so is the fire hose so can clean without a mop=hose the blood off the floor)
getting inside a shopping trolley then getting ran over by a train in VCD is pretty funny too

play multiplayer online is way better than splitscreen local=then can use any gamepad and the mouse n keyboard at same time
on xbox 360 controller=left stick to walk
mouse for everything else=very smooth controls and ya wont walk like a robot or spill your buckets
set the fov to 110 It makes VCD alot easier to play esp stacking crates n barrels and putting things in bins so it not go on the floor

console command= behindview
use that to play VCD in 3rd person mode with pickup highlighting disabled=takes a while to get used to the hands hitbox but is fully playable n ya welder has a bent laser beam and you can see your players shadow and who you spawn as=theres lots of janitor characters
can only read pda n paper notes if if in 1st person n theres no hand animation if look at yourself in a mirror

windows buggy 10=
and go grab a clean up the stains n get a and spill it on windows 10 to rinse the bugs out of it then stare at your and swear at lagging Nvidia hardware for a week until ya figure out how to fix that then go n put bodies in a n go play co-op online or offline all day with no crashes while ya cant stop laughing cuz multiplayer is hillariosly fun after you shake all the out of Bugrosoft Bugrows 10 only then will your games work like they are supposed to work
and yes my spelling sux but ive been fixing games for years

@devs everything on my end is ok with vcd=everything works including multiplayer and the steam server browser on port 7777 peer port 27016 it's just a cow to fix windows buggy 10 when ya buy a new pc:)

port 27015=multiplayer doesn't work at all=never has

theres currently 2 internet servers up that i can join from steam client server browser today press join and it starts the game for you then it automatically joins the server for you=they are not steam freinds servers these are public servers anyone can join
list was full before 27015 was added n if ya change it to 27015 it doesn't work at all=empty n it breaks lan too n multiplayer wont work at all
add port 27015 to firewall=still broken doesn't work at all never has

today i hosted a server for a while n 3 players joined my server who are not steam freinds
port 7777 only way to play online coop in vcd in australia with anyone from around the world n all of my freinds can join my server too n i can join any freinds game no matter which continent they live on and it never fail to connect after i fixed it permanently n it doesn't matter if its 32 or 64 bit vcd on win 7 8 8.1 or win 10/all of em on same server=they can join eachother=cross compatible
pc and mac is not cross compatible windows to windows or mac to mac
use direct connect if on a mac
i use 32 bit vcd since the txt to speech works but 64 bit works fine too

backup your saves=multiplayer is lots of fun if ya don't clean the place n make a mess n murder eachother instead then go to the office n trash that too
replace your saves after ya stop hosting to fix ya office so can trash it again next time ya do online co-op and never lose the office collection even if ya get fired you keep your office stash safe
my office stash is 7 years old:)


don't forget to disable that blue workshop icon in the games main menu if you play coop offline then the game wont crash

Ah, good to know, Janitor. :thumbsup:

I'd just like to point out that the log file you posted seems like it's probably just not all been copied to the steam post, since there is a limit on the length.

If you can, post the later half. It's important to see the end of the log, as that's usually where the cause is, and where crash-logging happens before processing ceases.

From what I can tell, the start of your log file seems normal.
Those few missing objects is normal, as it's for back-compatibility with old save data.
Since you don't have any old data, only new stuff(which is normal) it can't find it and complains.

[The Chaos Maker]

I have checked the log and that was it. My whole log is there. There is nothing more that I can add. My last line is the same as the last line that I have posted,

[0082.52] Warning: Warning, Failed to load 'MaterialInterface None.': Failed to find object 'MaterialInte

I don't know what else to say, that is all that the log says.
