UNABLE TO LOAD REQUIRED ASSETS [FIXED]

[Flavorable]

ISSUE HAS BEEN FIXED. PLEASE UPDATE YOUR GAME.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Hey guys.

To try and further find out where the problems lie, I would like to ask anyone who is running into this issue to reply with your OS (for example Win10 or Win7) and the country you're trying to play the game from. This would be a major help in us trying to find where the issue lies exactly.

KEEP IN MIND: This is ONLY for those who have this specific issue.

EDIT: Also let me know if the game is installed on your C-drive or a different drive. Thanks!


EDIT2: IF YOU CHANGE THE REGION AND THE LANGUAGE OF WINDOWS IN YOUR SETTINGS MENU, THE GAME SHOULD BE PLAYABLE. (Credit to Dredi for the temporary solution)
Change the region to U.S. and the language to English (United States).

EDIT3: The Devs have found a local fix and are testing it now, so hopefully it should be fixed soon.

I play on Win10. The game is installed in a drive other than C: (Z: in my case). I play on the English server.

The game hangs at loading taunts so I went into C:\Steam\steamapps\common\Town of Salem\TownOfSalem_Data\StreamingAssets\res\WebAssets\XMLData and cleared out all the <Taunt> nodes from Taunts.xml and it boots up fine afterwards. Individual nodes don't seem to be causing it, rather they all have the same problem, but I can't tell what it is on first look.

Will test this as soon as I have access to my PC again. Thank you.

Also, you're definitely right about it being a regional configuration issue, I discovered the game runs fine if you set regional formats in windows to US: https://imgur.com/a/dPsqS38

If you set this to Finnish for example, it'll fail to run, should help you debug on your end atleast

I've tried it but as for me it seems to get stuck at 62% without giving any error note.

That'll happen if the XML file isn't valid, so you probably messed up the edit. Check my latest post, just change windows regional settings to English / US and it'll load fine. Should hold you guys over till the devs patch it out.

Ok, i found the problem. Actually I didn't delete the </taunt> nodes aswell. Right now its fine. Hope it won't crash after someone uses a taunt :p
@ not sure if its because of the taunts,but nothing appears at daily brew
@2 Ok,it's unplayable. No characters,not even houses appear on the map. After a few minutes I got kicked out with an error about incorrect string or something like that.

Tested both the Taunts.xml edit and the region settings. Neither solved the issue for me.

Edit: Changed core language as well (in region settings) and I can now play the game!
