Options crash game.

[Abyss' Bunny]

Whenever I go into the options menu my game crashes. It did not do this the first time I started playing the game. I got no idea what is happening or why, can anyone help me?

[BriannaWF]

This was an older issue, when did you initially download the game?

[BriannaWF]

WF.ini file may need to be deleted.

C:\Users\YOURNAMEHERE\AppData\Roaming\Wayforward\riskysrevenge

then reload the game!

Sometime at the 4th back when Awesome Games Done Quick was happening. (Thanks for letting it be in the humble Bundle. ♥) So not that long ago. Still, I shall try that!

>Dramatic pause for effect<

Aaaand nope. It crashed again; how ever it gave me this: https://drdump.com/UploadedReport.aspx?DumpID=3128796&SecondVisit=1

I don't know if this will be useful for not. I can still enter and exit full scren with Alt + enter as well as play game just fine as long as I don't need to go to the options menu.

Hi Neki! What resolution are your monitors set to?

[BriannaWF]

We think we've found the issue. If you can open your .ini file and check what the resolution is set to in that file for us?

It'll look like this:
windowed=true
resolutionX=1920 (it's likely set to something weird and not supported by your monitors)
resolutionY=1080(it's likely set to something weird and not supported by your monitors)
monitorIdx=0
windowPosX=25
windowPosY=25
windowWidth=1920(it's likely set to something weird and not supported by your monitors)
windowHeight=1080(it's likely set to something weird and not supported by your monitors)

IF your monitors support this change it to

1280X720

and for now, don't swap between windowed and full-screen.

We're working on a patch for this Options crash that we should have out sometime next week.

windowed=false
resolutionX=1366
resolutionY=768
monitorIdx=0
windowPosX=25
windowPosY=25
windowWidth=1366
windowHeight=768
resMode=0
sdl_gamecontroller="addef0be000000000000504944564944,PPJoy Virtual Joystick 1,platform:Windows,a:b4,b:b5,x:b6,y:b7,back:b8,start:b10,guide:b9,leftshoulder:b11,rightshoulder:b13,leftstick:b14,rightstick:b15,leftx:a0,lefty:a1,rightx:a6,righty:a7,lefttrigger:a2,righttrigger:a3,dpdown:b2,dpleft:b0,dpright:b3,dpup:b2,"
volMusic=1.000000
volSfx=1.000000

Which is supported by both my build in Laptop's monitor as well as my extarnal plugged in I use for gaming. My laptop is only 1366 by 786, but plug in I use for gaming supports 1980 by 1080.

I am thinking the game might be confused by the duel monators, parhaps? Or maybe I had the game running and my screen might of been unplugged. That might of happened, honesty. If use Alt enter command for full screen, it goes between windowed, full screen laptop full screen plug in monitor.

I've had the same problem. Doctor dump: https://drdump.com/UploadedReport.aspx?DumpID=3252098&SecondVisit=1

My monitor is set to 2560x1600. wfEngine.ini didn't exist for me initially. The workaround was to press alt+enter to switch from windowed to full screen mode. Then it stopped crashing. I could go to Options and set my resolution to match my monitor's. Now the ini has been created, which looks like this:

windowed=false
resolutionX=2560
resolutionY=1600
monitorIdx=0
windowPosX=25
windowPosY=25
windowWidth=2560
windowHeight=1600
resMode=0
sdl_gamecontroller="addef0be000000000000504944564944,PPJoy Virtual Joystick 1,platform:Windows,a:b4,b:b5,x:b6,y:b7,back:b8,start:b10,guide:b9,leftshoulder:b11,rightshoulder:b13,leftstick:b14,rightstick:b15,leftx:a0,lefty:a1,rightx:a6,righty:a7,lefttrigger:a2,righttrigger:a3,dpdown:b2,dpleft:b0,dpright:b3,dpup:b2,"
volMusic=1.000000
volSfx=1.000000

A patch would be nice! While you are at it, please make it so I can make the A button be the Confirm button, and B the Cancel button. It's annoying that you can't, simply because it interferes with the jump button as things are at the moment.

So has that fix come out yet? Can't open options and can't play the game because I don't know what keys to use.

[Celery]

The game instantly crashes upon trying to enter the options menu.

Getting same issue. Downloaded it today.

I had that problem too, maybe because first i played on tv 1920x1080 then i wanted to play on my monitor, started the game goes on option to change resolution on 1440x900 then the game crashes.

I solved starting a "New Game", then when you start to control Shantae goes to option to change the resolution and the game didn't crashed.

Hope this work for someone with that problem :)

[Darydrus]

I can't play this game, going to options just crashes it and after getting the resolution set it just loads a black screen. When in a black screen i can hear the game and pick menus, can't see anything though. what a headache.

[OneTimeDetective]

So I'm guessing the Options issue has something to do with how the window fits the screen? Or is it something else entirely?

[Unity]

Has anyone solved this? I can't get into the options menu, whether or not I press Alt+Enter to go into fullscreen. https://drdump.com/UploadedReport.aspx?DumpID=12168177&SecondVisit=1
