Bug-spray here

[will to keep on wolfin]

Hey everyone,

We've spent a ton of time making sure the game is as bug-free as possible, but unfortunately gamedev is an exercise in Murphy's Law so all we can expect is the unexpected. If anything weird and undesirable happens to you in the game, please post it in this thread. Remember - the more info you provide us with, the quicker we'll be able to identify and fix the issue, so we'll appreciate it if you take the time to write a detailed report.

BEFORE YOU POST

Please make sure your machine meets our minimum system requirements. Also, we do not support 32bit systems. If your PC doesn't meet our min spec requirements, there's nothing we can do to help you.

Additionally, if you use an edited save file, you're doing so at your own risk - if you run into an issue later in your campaign as the result of using one, there's nothing we can do to help.

What kind of info do we need?

Tell us as much as you can about the circumstances of the issue. How long have you been playing? When did you last load the game? What menus did you go through? What are your in-game settings? If you can show the bug to us on a screenshot or a video, that would be extremely helpful.

Additional files

There's a couple of files that can further help us in identifying the core of the issue. You can upload them on wetransfer.com and then post the links here.

- Output log
Every time you start the game, it creates something called "Output log" which contains information about what occurs in the game's underbelly. If you decide to send it to us then it's important you do it before launching the game again as that will overwrite the previous log. You can find the output log here: %AppData%\..\LocalLow\Vile Monarch\Weedcraft Inc

- Crash dumps
If you ever encounter a crash (game just closes itself for no reason) the title should create a file commonly referred to as a crash dump. There are two places where it could be located, if you find anything in either of them, please send it to us:
%AppData%\..\Local\Temp\Vile Monarch\Weedcraft Inc\Crashes
%AppData%\..\Local\CrashDumps
(The second location can also contain dumps from other games and programs you use - ours will be called "Weedcraft Inc").

- Save files
If you happen to find an issue that is immediately idetenfiable after loading a save state, providing us with it will be tremendously helpful. Our save files are located in your Documents -> Weedcraft Inc folder, you can identify which is which using the "Last modified" date.

- DxDiag
If you have performance or stability issues, the best way to help us find out why is to prepare a dxdiag file - it contains information about your PC specs, your drivers' version and so on. To make one, you have to open the dxdiag.exe program (press your Windows key, type "dxdiag" and press enter), make sure you're running the 64 version (it opens by default on Windows 10, but you might need to switch using a button on older OS) and then choose "Save all data". This will create a text file you can send us.

~~~

Thanks in advance for all your help and we hope you enjoyed the game!

The main menu seems bugged as it displays "WOWUIMenus/Main_NewGame" etc etc

EDIT: A lot of the translation seems messed up since some of the things will show up in Polish for me. Even though I'm not Polish.

EDIT 2: Checkmarks show "MUTE" instead of what they should.

EDIT 3: Settings menu just shows 3 buttons as "QUIT GAME" instead of Volume, Resolution and Language

EDIT 4: After applying some changes, the menu seems to appear normal.

The game wont launch for me. It shows as being open on my taskbar and in task manager, but it's just showing my desktop and my mouse cursor is showing that it's loading. This is all that was in my output_log.

@Phoenix Genevieve
We're looking at your case right away.

What's your system language? Also try changing your language to any other than your current one and then back, that workaround should help.

Flemish/Dutch. I'll try changing.

Thanks! After 5 tries, it's working now! No idea what changed, but it's all good now!

I'm relieved to hear that. I've sent your output_log to our code team just in case.

We're now aware of an issue that affects people whose system is set to a language not supported by our game (anything but English, Polish, Russian, German, French, Spanish or Brazilian-Portugues). When you launch the game, it will initially display debug strings. We're working on a fix right away, BUT here's a temporary workaround:

1) Launch the game.
2) Go to settings (WOWUIMenus/Main_Settings).
3) In the first dropdown menu from the top, select any langauge other than English and press the "Pay Entry Fee" button.
4) Now the game will correctly display all text where it should be. You can use same dropdown menu and same button to go back to English now.

You should no longer experience this issue when launching the game on the same PC. We're terribly sorry for the inconvenience.

[The CaT is a lie]

Have the same issue as @Phoenix Genevieve. The game simply won't launch. It appears as black screen with loading cursor and remains stuck at this state.

I'm sorry to hear that. Could you send us your output_log and dxdiag if possible? Also, are you using any anti-viruses?

I'm sorry to hear that. Can you provide us with a crash dump and a dxdiag? Without those it might be difficult to help you.
