Uh, my game keeps crashing, and nothing will fix it.

I verified the game files, I uninstalled and reinstalled, this happened after I opened up the other clone drone I have, (which doesn't even have chapter 2!) ie. the beta version, and now the actual almost full version won't work.

oh no! This sounds like save data corruption to me. The game is not very good at handling going back and forth between previous versions of the game unfortunately...

If you're ok resetting your save data, you can do it by pressing S on the splash screen with the dog to bring up a special menu that lets you do it.

This will of course make you lose all your progress, but if you want to restore it feel free to email [e-mail] and we can maybe help you out, provided it fixes the issue.

Sorry that happened! Let's hope this will fix it.

no, the dog won't show up at all. just a black screen.

hmm, ok! Have you tried these other tips?

If they're in that list they've solved the problem for someone, so try even the stranger sounding ones if you remain stuck!

If none of that works and you wanna try the save data reset you could do it in the other copy of your game. They share the same save data location, so it should work.

here's what happened. I opened up the old beta version you could buy from the website, I closed out of it, and then my game starting not working, I deleted the beta version thinking it would fix it, it didn't. I don't think there's anyway to fix this in my power right now.

Hey there Opsy, sorry for the issues you are having.

The first step here would be to disable Steam Cloud Sync. I think there is a guide for that. Let me know if you can't find the setting.

The second step would be to remove your save data folder. It's one of two places, depending on whether you are on mac or windows.

(For example: C:\Users\Jonathan\AppData\LocalLow\Doborog on Windows, with "Jonathan" being your user name. )

Essentially the old version of Clone Drone wrote some junk data to your save folder.

Sometimes holding Alt during Clone Drone's startup will allow you to choose a valid resolution. It's probably currently, in error set to 0x1080 or something silly. Unity can be hard to work with for sure. :)

Please let me know if you have a hard time finding any of this stuff. I would be more than happy to walk you through each step! :)

-Cheers
