Bugs, errors, glitches go here.

Hi everyone,

Please share any bugs, glitches or errors here. Let's keep them all in one place, it's so much easier for us to keep track of them that way.

Thanks,
Dan.

Well, it is running fine for me. I'm not asking so I know if you can run it. It's easy on the specs, but so I can run tests.

It runs on two of my laptops, one on 32 bit windows 7, one on home and it also runs on my pc which runs a 64 bit Windows 10 pro. We did extensive testing too, on multiple systems with varying specs. So, to help I need to know your specs, if that's OK mate.

Cheers,
Dan.

ok, let's see...

win7, i5-2400 CPU @ 3.10 GHz, 4 GB RAM, AMD 6450

OK first try these steps.

Solution 1

Run the game as administrator
Find the file SalvationProphecy.exe
On my computer (win10, 64-bit), it is located here:

C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\SalvationProphecy\bin\release\StarDrifter.exe

Right click on it
Select "Run as Administrator"
If that doesn't work, go on to the next test.

Solution 2

Run steam as administrator
Exit steam completely: (top left menu) -> Steam -> Exit
Wait a few seconds for it to finish shutting down
Right click the steam icon
Select "Run as Administrator"
Try running the game normally
If that doesn't work, go on to the next test.

Solution 3

Verify the integrety of game cache
Run Steam
Right click on Salvation Prophecy
Click "Properties"
Click the "LOCAL FILES" tab
Click "VERIFY INTEGRITY OF GAME CACHE..."
Wait until it is done
Try running the game normally.
If that doesn't work, go on to the next test.

Solution 4

Check your antivirus settings
I can't give precise instructions here, because it depends on your antivirus program. But sometimes they can block a program from launching.

Solution 5

Change your " Data Execution Prevention" settings.

Solution 6

Restart the computer
The old classic, always worth a shot.

I don't think the trading cards are working or at least they are not yet appearing in the badges page. Otherwise, fun game :D

Keyboard controls are broken for me, I have to mash the arrow keys to move. It's fine on controller.

Upgrade menu is running at 20fps.

Try unplugging your control. We're working on a fix.

OK this is fixed. A patch has just gone up, with a performance fix and also controller fix. There was no controller support in the game. But something was causing issues when an Xbox pad was plugged in.

When exitting a game, while still alive, will restart you and all your points, but will keep all your lives and upgrades upon returning.
