POST PROBLEMS AND CRASHES HERE // SOLUTIONS

[[Lemons] w!z@rD]

Please do not clutter up this forum by dumping known problems in new discussions!

I've ceased my support of this thread, as most problems nowadays don't have a known fix. However I'll stay subscribed and will help if possible.

(Please be aware that I'm doing/did this purely voluntarily. I'm not an employee of Paradox Interactive, just a volunteer moderator.)

________________________________________________________

Many of the problems nowadays don't have any solutions. What you can try is reverting back to an older version of the game. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1596401837

This had fixed most crashes in previous versions of the game, however, some crashes nowadays don't have any known fixes or workarounds.

Pointing on something and getting NOT FOUND:87907 (random number)
Like in this picture http://s017.radikal.ru/i410/1210/e8/2e0213566ac6.bmp
or in this one http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=82198140
There's no solution, it's a localisation problem and won't be fixed since Magicka doesn't have any dev team working on it anymore. A community made mod could fix this though.

Windows 10 issue - Background process
Set magicka.exe to run in Windows XP SP3 compatibility mode. You can find this option by rightclicking magicka.exe. Open the properties, then Compatibility tab. Tick "Run this program in compatibility mode for Windows XP SP3" and press OK. This prevents the program from running as a background application. There is an error message at startup, but just press continue and it should be fine.

Dungeons and Daemons: stuck in the library / can't move
If you go a little further, there's a checkpoint. Activate it and then die. You and your friend (who couldn't move) will respawn at the entrance of the library and everyone should be able to move.
This is just a workaround and obviously not a good option if you're trying to get the no-dying achievement.

• Post your DxDiag result
  
• Post either your ErrorReport or the details of the Windows error message
  
• Explain what you were doing. What mode did you try to play? Multiplayer or not? Did you cast any spells in the moment of the crash? Level progress? Etc.

> > > > HOW TO POST YOUR DXDIAG

• [Windows Key]+[R] -> The "run"-window opens
  
• type in dxdiag -> A dialog-window opens
  
• Wait a bit
  
• Click "Save all informations"
  
• Go to pastebin http://pastebin.com/
  
• Copy/paste the content and put the link in your comment

> > > > WHERE TO FIND MAGICKA GENERATED CRASH LOGS

• Rightclick Magicka in your Steam library and open the properties.
  
• Open the tab local files and select browse local content.
  
• There should be one or more text files called errorReport_{Date} (e.g. errorReport_2015.05.21-10.09.27_(1).txt).
  
• Open the newest and copy/paste the text in pastebin.

THERE WILL ALMOST ALWAYS BE EITHER A WINDOWS ERROR MESSAGE OR AN ERRORREPORT FILE. I CANNOT HELP YOU WITHOUT THEM!

If you have problems like Magicka doesn't start or getting pink or purple screen

• Post your DxDiag result
  
• Make a screenshot using the print key or http://puush.me/ if possible
  
• Explain exactly what happens, step by step, every detail is important!

this game is a piece of garbage, ive wasted so much time trying to get it to work for my friend i bought it for and it will not stop crashing in multiplayer. Why even keep it up in steam store in this condition? Stupid ♥♥♥♥.

The Game wont start. I press Play and than nothing. No ERROR message or so.

Getting the same error. Tried to launch it in both Windows 11 or Linux. No success. It doesn't even generate a crash log. The game won't open!

This might help those getting a crash while navigating the game's menu (I'm on windows 10).

- Installed DirectX End-User Runtimes (June 2010) (Error report mentioned "Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.DirectX.DirectInput".)
https://www.microsoft.com/en-nz/download/details.aspx?id=8109
- Blocked Magicka.exe from accessing the internet.
- Disabled Steam overlay.
- Haven't set compatibility mode.

Managed a local co-op play-through with very few crashes.

Luck! Magicka is a classic. Worth keeping it running!

Saw your reddit thread. Thanks for the patch! A bit of information I discovered myself quite some time ago, if you make the Magicka.exe "Large Address Aware" using this application:

https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/large-address-aware.112556/

You get less crashes. Link also has an explanation as to what it does and how large address aware stuff works. The source of the application is also available. Magicka is a 32 bit application unfortunately. With this patch, it has more RAM available. 4GB instead of 2GB iirc.

I don't know if this would still matter on your patched .exe but I figured it was worth mentioning.

After 30-40 minutes of play the game crashes. No crash report is generated and no windows pop up. The game just hangs for 5 seconds and crashes to the desktop.

I play with a friend in local co-op on version 1.5.1.0.

[Ashes]

Game crashes for everyone, latest patch is broken, can we get a proper fix or what?
