Crashes when pressing "Play!"

[Vaalbara]

I can't get it to work. i know the game works, it just doesn't want to work. every time i load the game, it's fine until i press "Play," then it freezes and crashes. I dunno why it's doing it. it works only when i uninstall it and reinstall it, but it only works for one time after that and then it resumes crashing.

can someone please please please help? i love this game so much and i don't want to waste my money on it. i think i do have all requirements, but im not sure. how can i check the requirements as well?

go to .....\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\GoatSimulator\GoatGame\Config\Common open the DefaultSystemSettings.ini and find where it says "Fullscreen=True" under the [SystemSettings]
change the "true" to "false"

This worked for me. Had it happen with a different game also.

Do not choose fullscreen on the in game options or it will blackout again

lemme try

[Vaalbara]

it worked the first time. i was able to get into the game and play around, then I crashed due to huge lag after something exploded. well, the next day, i tried opening it and it crashed again, even in windowed mode.
help please!

I tried uninstalling it then reinstalling it. It worked once. After that one time, it kept crashing again!

[Vaalbara]

That's what it's doing to me!

For me, it works sometimes... But most of them are crashes... I don't even get what I have to do to avoid that... =l

a workaround that i discovered is that you go in offline mode, but it stinks because you can't play Waste of Space because it restarts every time you go on it.

[beastinlondon]

how do you play in offline mode anyway?

[Vaalbara]

go to the top left corner of Steam. Click "Steam" and the second thing on there should say "Go Offline"
A pop-up will come up and say "Restart in Offline Mode?"
Click it and it will log you off of Steam. Then start up Goat Simulator and it should work.

[beastinlondon]

Thanks. Felt kinda wrong to be playing in offline mode as nothing I do really counts. But at least the waste of space dlc does work in offline mode, so that's something I guess.

[Vaalbara]

hopefully the devs will update. i've been playing in offline mode for about a month, and it's pretty sad since i can't play the Waste of Space because I don't want to keep earning money to build the colony every time i go into the map.

HEY!!!! i found a sulotion! as you said, the copy paste thing is a code to what happended. When you have mods by Geneosis, then this is the trigger. you can simply fix it by hitting"reset keybindings (or how its called) in the keybinding option! then press "Play". It worked for me tho. heres the original link by geneosis: https://steamcommunity.com/app/265930/discussions/1/405692758702379083/
