Stopped Working

[Merrhy]

If like me, you can't play the game because the game just stopped working a few seconds after its start, here is a possible solution for you : Discord.
The Discord Overlay seems to have issues with Isaac and if you have it activated when launching the game, the game will just stopped working. So the solution : go to discord, user settings, game activity and disable the overlay for Isaac.

i have done that but i still cant get it to work. i get the small white window then full black screen then it crashes. any tips?

[Merrhy]

Do you have any other apps that have an overlay ?

[Giant Cat Pants]

i do not but i did find my issue. i unsubbed from some stuff in workshop but it didnt uninstall them so i went to afterbirth+ mods and had to delete them. game works fine now

Glad you got your problem fixed but I just wanted to add that I turned off the Discord overlay as well and it totally fixed everything. Thank you for the suggestion

You're welcome ! I decided to make a post about it after finding the solution because I know that there is no such post on the internet

Don't. I don't want to vent another time about how no one does research on this forum (because the "disable Discord" fix is written in dozens of threads already), but...

No, you said no venting Naz'.

Sorry.

But for my mental sanity, don't. Please.

I mean, I don't have hope anymore for my mental sanity here on the forum, I lost all hope a long time ago*, but I would feel better if someone else did. Or at least pretended to.


* Roughly around Afterbirth release when people kept creating dozens of threads every week about how broken their game was, and all they had to do was remove their Rebirth mods, something I repeated hundreds of times and no-one ever used the search bar or read the first page of the forum before creating their thread.
(Damn it, I said no venting... Sorry again.)

Uuh..What's your problem dude ? Was your response really necessary ?

It wasn't for you, why would you care. It was mostly for me. Venting post pretending to not be one, don't pay too much attention.

It's just... Seeing this post from you made me wonder "what was the point of repeating in hundreds of threads to disable Discord's overlay". No point whatsoever, obviously. Which makes me wonder "how much do you think your thread will be useful in the end". You can guess the answer, people will ignore your thread as quickly as every other and create even more "my game crashes" ones requiring the same fix.

I've been here (in this forum) for years, it's always the same thing, just the Steam forum cycle. Venting here and there keeps me away from hurting myself, maybe? Thanks for reading it anyway, I guess.

Have a nice day/evening/whatever. Thanks again.

Maybe it's time to take a break and maybe go to the doctor ?

No doctor can make people on the Internet do any research, I'm afraid. A break might be a good idea though, I'll consider it.

But maybe the doctor may be able to keep you away from commenting for no reason ?
