Pure virtual function being called while application was running

[jay.mi]

After yesterday's patch release I noticed that the game wasn't running smooth and I couldn't fix the problem. Today I can't even get into the game because I'm getting the message "Pure virtual function being called while application was running". Can anyone explain to me what that means or better, how I can fix this. Please explain it like I'm five yo because I'm not a tec wiz. Thank you.

It sounds like you have something running in the background, like a program that presses a lot of keys when you just push only one key. You need to look at what is running on your computer and try to close the ones you don't need.

What are you even talking about lmao
it's an unreal engine issue, just google it.
You can't solve this yourself it's an issue with the spaghetti monster called Palia. Wait for the devs to fix it (lol)

Is the error consistent? If so, what actions do you do to make it happen?

Is the error keeping you from playing the game entirely, or is it popping up at some point and crashing the game?

The error means the game is calling a function that is already running (or the system thinks is already running). This could be because the function failed to properly terminate previously, bad code or a corrupt file, or something was left behind in memory that the system thinks the process is still running.

This does seem likely something that Palia devs may have to address, but it's not happening across the board, so it's going to get assigned a lower priority.. In the meantime, if you want to try and find solutions yourself, I would suggest a couple things to try:

1) Check the integrity of your game files from the steam app. This will redownload corrupted game files and make sure your files are what the devs intend. Mismatches between file versions, or broken files could potentially cause issues.

2) Check your video drivers are up-to-date. If they are not, update them. If they are, try rolling back to a recent previous version if possible.

I saw on Reddit to change the direct to dx11 instead of the dx12 it’s currently on, in the settings somewhere. I can’t remember where in the settings exactly but it worked!
