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.

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!

[Kozak]

I frequently will be fighting a boss and if I die the game doesn't put me back at my checkpoint. Instead, I must restart the entire level by hitting esc. This is happening in All the stars left. Happened on the boss after the steam bridge and happened again at the end boss. Have to restart from the beginning, again. Chapter 3

Magica crashes without error or anything after loading next level.

I am having problems with the dlc, I have bought the full package, but when I look at the individual dlc 2 days later its say I do not have the "Magika Party Robes" . I have tried to buy it again it says I already own it.

[Space Poets]

Hey, I've recently downloaded the weeked trial for Magicka, and it looks great... but it won't play. I wouldn't be at this thread if it could.
I get the 'Magicka has stopped working, Windows is trying to find a solution' message.
I have run both the dotnetfx35, and the xnaf31_redist, as well as the DXSETUP. Do I have to buy the whole game to fix this, or is it bugged for both?
I run a windows 7, no special graphics cards that could be malfunctioning, but a computer that can probably handle the game's demands.
Thanks.

[And I'm Hip]

SOLUTION. Dungeons and daemons DLC. On my PC it crashed to desktop in room 2 when Vlad appears and speaks to a dying wizard. To solve it simply switch the language setting to English.

[Crizyz]

Having similar problem as this guy.
Only with me the problem is in Singleplayer as far as I understand (Story mode or something).

Thing is, sometimes I get into the game itself, narrator telling a nice story, get the screen with the red loading bar, then at 98% I get a CTD.

If I try to start the game again, it is ery well possibl, it wel not even start properly. Did a check in integrity of the files, installed the dotnmotfx and xna provided with Magicka in the dependancies folder.

Didn't work, reinstalled the game, uninstalled all dotnetfx and reinstalled them. Reinstalled XNA.

So I'm pretty much clueless as to what I can still do. Will post dxdiag and error report.

@ w!z@rD I know that, hence my 'will post dxdiag and error report'.:P

I also installed that dxwebsetup, but that one told me I already have latest dx.

Error report I get when CTD happens at 98% loading screen: http://pastebin.com/w8kcrjX6
