Please read the Common Issues thread before posting here!

Hi! Put crashing issues in here.
Please include system specifications and any even vaguely relevant information you can come up with, including screenshots if it's related to something you can identify.
I also encourage including minidump (mdmp) files from the game folder as applicable.

Bug posts will be removed as they are confirmed to be addressed.
If your post is removed, please try restarting Steam to see if I've fixed your issue!

I am unable to start the game with a controller plugged in, it crashes before showing the Falcom logo
If i unplug my gamepad, it works. But i don't want to play with mouse and keyboard

I'm using an xbox360 controller, windows 10

A minidump could help for this.

Whenever Fake Agate uses Spiral edge my game crashes and i can't get past him like this.
edit note: i tried to turn 0ff the 3d sound thing, but it didn''t work or i did it wrong

I tried using a diffrent PC and it still crashes, i messed around with the settings too and i am pretty much out of obtions. I really liked this game so far and it would suck if i couldn't continue playing it because of this D:

Recent update made Doppel Agate crash game if he uses Spiral Edge tested it on my PC.

I would really need a minidump to know why that could be happening.

Old discussion, but I had the same issue tonight. I was able to fix by running the game from the steam library tab and running the DirectX 8 version. Hope this helps anyone else with this issue.

But yep, can confirm, just got this crash. Doppel Agate from Plane 5 Grimoire on this latest patch still crashes when using Spiral Edge. On the DX9 version.

[Haste`n`Pursuit]

Have the same issue with Agate.

I have a XONAR Sound Card and run into crashed when anyone uses an AOE attack. I have to Manualy Change the game to fun on ONLY 1 Core (changing affinity) each time I open the game. Is there a way to add this to the settings?

With XONAR sound cards, the real solution is to turn off the XONAR card's 3D audio features. There's one specific feature (I forget the details exactly) that is responsible for the crash.

I just ran into this problem. Tried the fight twice, and I got a crash. I do not have a XONAR sound card. The crash for me happens when Agate tries to attack. Not always but it happened in both fights. One in his first form, and one in his second form.

I got past the fight by disabling direct 3d sound in the config tool, but that's a pretty strange bug to run into after the game has been out for so long, and the devs knew about it occurring. Not what I was expecting to experience from this development team.

Battling against Grimoire!Agate on the fourth plane. Everytime Agate uses spiral edge, the game crashes. Really frustrating, I'm streaming this game live and it's dragging on longer than I want it to. In fact, I'm making this post live on stream.

Edit: Managed a workaround:
1. Use the DirectX 8 version of the game.
2. Instead of killing the femael beasts, I have to suck it up and take their beating while focusing on taking out Grimoire!Agate first. Once he's down then I focus on the beasts. This is the worst tactic possible and goes against logic, but at least it didn't crash for me.

I must mention that disabling DirectSound and DirectSound 3D did not help on my system. I have a SoundBlaster X-Fi installed in the PC, but I didn't use it while playing the game.

I was having trouble with Agate's fight at the end of Chapter 4.
The game would crash every time he'd use a specific skill.

Running the DirectX 8 version of the game did it for me.
I was finally able to clear it without crashing

I could not launch the game, (both sc and 3rd) I tried launching it through exe. (after adjusting settings in config first) but every time after I select hardness and try to play, it doesn't respond and crashes right away.
My pc is running windows 11... could that be a reason?
But FC worked perfectly.

It takes quite a while to parse your old save games (for the old save bonus) if you had a lot of them. Is it really crashing, or just freezing and being terminated after that? If it's crashing, mdmp files would be generated in the game's folder, and those would help for determining the cause. Otherwise just waiting a fair while after it "freezes" may work.

In Sun Door 1 Mini Game my game crashes 100% of the time on attempting to start (right after choosing normal or easy). This happens both in the DX8 launch of normal launch. I'm running 1920x1080 windowed on all HQ settings. Happens both when using a controller and when using keyboard.

Would really like a fix, I don't want to sit through the same Capua cutscenese over and over.
