Crash/Game wont start help thread (try the things in OP first)

[AlphaBeard]

I'm interested if anyone's still experiencing crashes with the latest builds. (default or Beta)

First things to try:

1. verifying client files in steam
2. updating your video drivers
3. deleting C:\Users\{username}\AppData\LocalLow\Freehold Games\CavesOfQud
4. launching it directly instead of via steam
5. unsubscribe from all your mods
6. rebooting
7. -force-vulkan command line argument
8. try the GALAXY:NO command line argument
9. on macos try -screen-width n and -screen-height m arguments giving n and m as your resolution.

If you have an Intel HD card: Intel HD settings... "Scale Full Screen" instead of "Maintain Display Scaling"

If you have antivirus, try excluding the game directory.

The most useful file to me is the player log, you can find it's location here: https://wiki.cavesofqud.com/wiki/File_locations

The second most useful file to me post crash is a Primary.sav where the crash can be rerpoduced, the second most useful is an output_log.txt (from the data directory above). Sending either to [e-mail] would be much appreciated, thanks!

How do you fix invalid blueprints?

[MrRichard999]

Anyway to nerf when the enemy esper duplicates itself? It gets so bad the game gets so lagged out I have to reset it...

Not quite a crash, but on present build at least the game always freezes when you try to take a new mutation but there are none left to offer.

Edit: Issue has resolved itself, probably just needed reboot. Due to wonky graphics situation with nvidia linux.

Present build doesn't start on Linux (nvidia proprietary graphics), it just hangs before painting any picture at all. No settings/configuration changes since last week's build.

Every time I hit "last character" with my true man, it re-adds the bonus from the cherubic face cyberware. If that puts the total number of stat points above the maximum (it does), the game crashes when I try to start.

Heyo. My game crashes whenever I try to start playing with my previous character. It also crashes or just malfunctions after 1 or 2 zones, comes up with a prompt to have info automatically sent to you guys, then continues on to the next zone but every tile is a white dot. Im not upset or anything, because both of these issues are fixed when I load the game from the folder and not through steam. I dont know what to send error log wise but i'll give you what i have

My game is crashing whenever I try to start a game and have the setting to allow for modding on, for whatever reason. It has nothing to do with the mods, as I uninstalled all of them and opened it with the setting on, and the crash continued. Not sure what to do rn.

Playing on version 2.0.156.1 beta, I dominated a diplomacy droid using a ganglionic teleprojector. When the domination runs out, or when I try to end the domination, the game freezes.
I'll email you the Primary.sav

Not having a crash but I want to nominate you for the best dev

[Vashishta]

What to do when a zone fails to build? I'm in a game where a lower level of Red Rock failed to build so I can't complete the quest. I haven't been playing that long and haven't seen much of the game. Having this first quest fail is a bit of a bummer. The failed level just has pools of slime and dots all over it. There's no stars down, so it seems the quest can't be complete. I"m about to try leaving the map and going back in...

Edit: I discovered that if I walked to the edge of the failed level that it sucessfully generated more of the level. Looks like I can continue. lol

Hi! I'm playing with a macbook pro. The game crashes in main menu, when i try to open options or new game or anything. Terminal show me this message:

Trace/BPT trap: 5
logout

I think i touch something in the options, because when i buy the game i can start a game, but after i touch something in options menu, and game crashes and now i cant do nothing anymore.

Can you help me? Any option to restart options presets or "delete this file" or anything?

Try deleting ~/Library/Application Support/freehold games/caves of qud

It works! Thank you very much!

The problem appears when i check 'Enable overlay user interface elements' in options.

Also, the game crashes when i check this options:
• Show overlay touch button bar
• Show overlay touch directional compass
• Show overlay phone button bar

With this three options, the game crashes but i can open the game and uncheck it, but with 'Enable overlay user interface elements' the game crashes and i can't open the game, as in my first help request.

Thanks again!

Hello. Just getting into the game and i must say that i'am impressed! Encountered bug while looting snapjaw corpse west of Joppa. I looted a sword and i'm stuck with the looting screen open. No matter what i press game does not respond. Took a screenshot and was able to get out of game with windows key. I have the game open but i can't see a way to not force close it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Just hitting alt+f4 should close it.
