Unable to load the game :(
So I've been successfully playing this game for a while now, but ever since the update to U7 I've not been able to get past the big red circle message saying that I can't load the game and that some of the mods that I have installed might not be compatible.
- That's fair so I removed the mods I was using, same error message.
- I uninstall the vortex mod loader I was using and all the integrated mod files with it.
- Uninstalled the game from steam deleting the game folder and everything so there's no trace of it so its a fresh install again. Same error message.
- Tried rolling it back to U6 in the beta section, I didn't get the red circle message but I got an infinite loading screen (seriously I made a cup of tea and had dinner while I was waiting, no change at all).
- Tried putting it back to the full version by opting out of the beta section, so back to U7, and I get the red circle error message again...

Is there something obvious I'm missing here?

Red error circle means a fatal error is encountered which means it's very likely it will be logged. So start by checking the B&S log file in the c:\Users\<your username>\AppData\LocalLow\WarpFrog\BladeAndSorcery\player.log Look for erro messages or exception stack traces. If you're not too tech savvy, just look for log lines which have "error" or "exception" words in them, or some variations of those. Not all lines like that are a sign of a critical error but some of them might help you identify the cause of your troubles.

Not sure what all this means I'm sorry.
I found these:

- Cannot set field of view on camera with name 'UI Camera' while VR is enabled.

- A Canvas named "Canvas" with a render mode of ScreenSpaceOverlay is being used while VR is also enabled. This Canvas will continue to incur a rendering cost, but will not be visible while in VR. Is this intentional?

- Exception: Unable to find game parameters in /-WinX=0/Game.json

And when I launch the game and get that red circle error I pressed F8 and got these with red exclamation marks:

- Exception: Unable to find game parameters in /WinX-0/Game.json

- [SteamVR] Could not find actions file at E:/Program Files/Steam/steamapps/common/Blade & Sorcery/BladeAndSorcery_Data/StreamingAssets\SteamVR\actions.json



===EDIT===
Also I've managed to get beta U6 working, not sure how though....
still can't update to U7 without that error message

That's your error. game.json config file was renamed in U7 so judging by the fact that your copy of B&S still tried to load it, it is failing to update to U7 correctly. I recommend doing a clean reinstall to fix that. Please follow each step to make sure there will be no interference from remnants of the previous versions.

If you are using Vortex for managing mods, start by uninstalling all the mods in Vortex. Not just removing, full uninstall for each mod. If you are managing mods manually, you can skip this step. Uninstall the game, then open game folder in Steam and remove any files or folders which are still there. Then, open c:\Users\<your username>\AppData\LocalLow\WarpFrog\BladeAndSorcery and delete all files and folders there. Next, open c:\Users\<your username>\Documents\My Games\BladeAndSorcery\ and delete all files and folders there as well. After that, make sure there is no beta branch or previous version subscription set in the game properties in the Steam library page. Then install the game as usual. This should return everything back to normal.

I followed your instructions, but I still got the same message:

^- Those ones are new? :S
I've also completely uninstalled Vortex now with all traces of mod folders and downloads for a clean start. Still no use :(

Yeah, that does not look good, but I'm really puzzled why it keep happening even after full clean reinstall... Can you check your beta participation settings in the Steam library properties of B&S?

These ones are harmless, you can safely ignore them.

I had a sudden thought!
I still had mods in a downloads folder, literally not linked to anything as far as I was aware, but I tried deleting that along with the fresh install from your description and it worked!
I can now play U7, thanks so much! XD

I am in version U11.3 and keep getting the same error message and says it is either a corrupted save or a mod. What do I do to fix this?
