Code Error Crash on Game Launch

[ElegantFrost]

A few others have mentioned this, but I have this error when I launch the game:
___________________________________________
############################################################################################
FATAL ERROR in
action number 1
of Create Event
for object UberCont:

Variable UberCont.<unknown variable>(100117, -2147483648) not set before reading it.
at gml_Script_scrSetSettings
############################################################################################
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
stack frame is
gml_Script_scrSetSettings (line -1)
gml_Script_scrLoad
gml_Script_scrBufferedLoad
gml_Object_UberCont_Create_0


I 100%'d the game and decided to mess with some settings in the options menu. I changed the black and white intensity to 0, continued my game, exited to the title screen, and then the game crashed. I've tried deleting all files I could find for the game, turning off cloud saves, reinstalling, and resetting my pc, but I still cannot launch it without this immediate crash with this error.

I'm assuming that if changing the black or white intensity caused this issue, perhaps the title screen loading conflicts with this in some way causing it to crash? It could also be an issue due to 100% or perhaps the other game modes, although I was able to continue my save at least once after unlocking these. Nonetheless, it is now not possible to play this game anymore, at least on my steam account/computer due to this issue which is disappointing.

I figured I'd post about this issue again just to clarify that this issue is still unresolved at the moment.

Dude. This just happened to me. Guess it'll just be a warning to other players. Wish I would've seen this before.

Hey, I had this happen to me, it is caused by lowering brightness and darkness to 0. Here's the fix:
Open your save file in a text editor, located at <Steam-folder>\userdata\<user-id>\609490\remote\minit_v1.sav (if you're on Linux or non-steam version check the PC Gaming Wiki for other locations).

Find and change the values of variables "set_dark" and "set_light" to "set_dark": [] and "set_light": [], which puts them to back to 100%. Save the file and you should be good to go.

edit: And this goes without saying, but make a copy of the save before you do this in case you delete a space or a bracket or something.

I found a way to fix it for me. I'm not sure if it will work for all of you, but it did work for me.

My game crashed after I beat it and set the light to 100. So if you got a game crash on startup, I'm not sure it will work.

Basically I just, turned steam offline, went to the userdata folder, it was here for me (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata), then I started minit while continually entering and deleting the files in the folder, then minit started up just fine, then I set steam to online mode, and started minit, then I told it to use my local files and not my cloud. That worked for me. God bless

I have the same error but I have just freshly installed the game. I did a 100% earlier on another computer and there were no problems, but on my new laptop it wouldn't start even once.

I don't have a "remote" folder in <Steam-folder>\userdata\<user-id>\609490, just a single file called "remotecache.vdf" which doesn't have brightness settings.

Contents of "remotecache.vdf":
```
"609490"
{
"minit_v1.sav"
{
"root" "0"
"size" "0"
"localtime" "0"
"time" "0"
"remotetime" "0"
"sha" "0000000000000000000000000000000000000000"
"syncstate" "2"
"persiststate" "0"
"platformstosync2" "-1"
}
}
```
I don't recognise the format and the "sha" definitely shouldn't be all zeroes, but every time I try changing it it just reverts when I try starting the game.

I had been receiving the same error as you, wherein the usual solutions that have been posted in here were somehow not working for me (loading the game in offline mode, creating the minit_v1.sav file in my /steam/userdata/<your ID>/609490/remote/ directory, etc...), and was still crashing on startup (regardless of connectivity status).

like you, my game files were missing a "remote" folder, and likewise i just had a single file called "remotecache.vdf" inside of 609490. i was able to solve my issue by completely deleting my entire 609490 folder while in online mode, restarting Steam in offline mode, then starting the game and beginning a new file, grabbing the sword, and then quitting. after that i was able to play in offline mode, and then later in online mode- after that my remotecache had a valid SHA line and the game successfully created a "remote" folder with a real save file on its own.

I fixed it with an old save file in the remote folder in the 609490 folder, i'll get the full folder location and a google drive of the file shortly.

[Heliocentric]

Here are the files
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vB0xeQHTKJXxaStegGvDZEfOScrD1zh0/view?usp=sharing
Right, so in Windows you put these files in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\[useridhere]\609490\

Interestingly, minit no longer seems to have cloud saving fully supported.

I'm going to try and install these saves into my steamdeck and figure out where I need them.

[Heliocentric]

Aight, I cannot figure out where to put them in the deck. But at least I can play it on the pc now.

Files should go in /home/deck/.local/share/Steam/userdata/[useridhere]/ on the steam deck
