Master Fixes For Wasteland 3

[Satoru]

Trying to help out with correlating some common fixes for the game on both Steam and GamePass

Do a full Windows Update

If you hae game pass you're probably up to date anyway, but please try to ensure your OS is fully updated. Run a full windows update and reboot

Windows 7 Is Not Supported

As per the store page windows 7 is unsupported. You might be able to bypass the intro movie issue, but there's no guarantee other issues wont appear later on.

Windows N Needs Media Pack

If you have a Windows N version, you don't have the proper codecs to play the movies so you'll get a black screen

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3145500/media-feature-pack-list-for-windows-n-editions

Please refer to Microsofts site and download the Media Pack for your version of Windows 10.

YOU MUST REBOOT AFTER INSTALLING THE MEDIA PACK

Save Game Issues - Add Game Directory To your Anti-virus whitelist

Some anti-virus programs are causing problems with game launch. Ensure the game installation directory is whitelisted in your antivirus

For Gamepass owners the directory you can whitelist is called "WindowsApps" on the drive you installed the game

Update Your Video Drivers

Ensure you hvae the latest Nvidia or AMD drivers

Re-Verify Your Game Data

* Go to LIbrary
* Right click->Properties
* LOCAL FILES tab
* Verify Integrity of Game Files

Reinstall VCRedist 2019

* Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Steamworks Shared\_CommonRedist\vcredist\2019
* Run vc_redist.x64.exe
* REBOOT YOUR COMPUTER

Stuck At Title Screen With Scorpion But No Menu Text - GamePass Only

Issue seems to be caused with an xbox logon issue that's happening at that point in

* Go to your xbox app
* Log off
* Log back in
* Re-launch game

Also ensure you have teh "Xbox (beta)" app installed on your system, and that you've logged into the Xbox app with your MS account.

No Audio With Bluetooth Headset

Apparently it set my headphones to a recording device. Not sure if that's some steam related issue or if it was Wasteland. I disabled that and they started working!

Game Unable To Proceed After Initial Fight - Polish/Turkish Language

https://steamcommunity.com/app/719040/discussions/1/2923353981922029922/#c2923353981922157034

Setting your region and keyboard to US/UK seems to resolve this issue for Polish/Turkish users.

Note setting the ing-ame language to English is insufficient it seems. You must set the OS level region and keyboard to US/UK

Game Not Saving Or Saves Wiped

* Try disabling Cloud saves
* Run steam as an admin
* add whitelisting for the game in your anti-virus

I Want To Report A Bug

At least edit your ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about intro movie LMAO is this issues and workaround thread in the end or not?

Again as per the store page the game does not support windows 7. Upgrade to windows 10.

Are you trolling or something?

You literally wrote "You might be able to bypass the intro movie issue".

I'm writing here on how to FIX(not "bypass" but FIX) that issue by downloading/installing missing codec(s) and u're refusing to add the proper FIX for the issue to your thread which is called "Master Fixes for W3"? Srsly?

[Satoru]

There is no fix for windows 7

The fix is to upgrade to windows 10

If you HACK the game to work, that's not supported

[⎠⎝Zushikatetomoto⎠⎝ UFO]

Good work even tho people can be butt hurt that windows 7 is dead.

[Revan]

Love these "common sense" fixes, lol!

it is being managed by windows i got like 24gb of ram and windows has given my page file like 14gb is that whats causing my crash? if so what should i set my page file to?

If it's managed by Windows your minimum can be 16mb and its auto and can be causing it yes and
Set a minimum 8 ~ and max out on 14gb

Note dont mess with your paging file, as generally people set it incorrectly (or worse disable it) which causes more issues than just using 'system default'

4gb was required for rdr2.
Shows you what it's capable of.

I don't generally like people touching this as they tend to do silly things like either making it too small or too large. Some people try to disable it entirely to 'save disk space' which just causes windows to have a seizure and causes all sorts of weird problems that don't make sense.

If you set it to 'system decides' that's fine really. Windows will expand/contract the paging file as it needs to. You really only want ot set a size if you want to avoid the performance hit of when windows expands the paging file. But in sort of a gaming perspective this really isnt a thing, its more of a problem if you've got a 128GB RAM server and are trying to expand the 128GB paging file. On the consumer OS, windows is smart enough to allocate paging space as needed.

Windows managed breaks word. It auto deletes on power point. It Breaks outlook. I work in the industry and that pathetic paging file can easily make or break your system.
Especially if you even have something called windows.old on your local drive.

The golden rule is aiming to be more than or equal to your total RAM capacity

No offense but I used to manage 20k workstations globally both desktop and mobile devices. And none of what you said ever occurred because we set the paging file to be system managed. If outlook “broke” or PowerPoint magically uninstalled it’s not because of a paging file

Windows.old doesn’t do anything it’s just residual files from an upgrade. It sounds more like you’re just not managing your disk space properly but that’s not an issue with the paging file

[1MantisPhoenix]

Okay 👌 well ive fixed enough stuff with it to also tell you off. And rdr2 had a very specific error asking for minimum 4gb. That puts windows managed to shame. 16mb is for nothing. No windows 10 app can manage with so little.

There's no reason to argue with this guy. He's completely clueless about everything.

Just read what some of his "fixes" are :

"* add whitelisting for the game in your anti-virus" for example.

There isn't a single AV on virustotal which flags Wasteland 3 executable or W3 savefiles(which are basically a txt files) as potential threat, not to mention prevents it from writing this alone literally renders this "fix" useless from the beginning to the end - yet it's in his "MASTERFIXLIST".

The UnityPlayer.dll file faulting likely means the game itself must be doing something to cause the crash.

https://inxile.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

I would submit a bug to the developers. If you can attach the save file that exhibits this behavior. You can find it at

\MyDocuments\my games\Wasteland3\Save Games

The only other thing you can try doing, though its for a different problem, is maybe try changing your region and keyboard to US/UK. Its possible the issue with the tutorial mission having a problem, could also be manifesting in a different way for different regions. This really is more of a guess though.

Lack of Win7 support is a bit of a dubious claim. Just tested on my old install of Win7 (I dual-boot this machine as some of the programs I require for work do not yet support Win10). Game runs fine on Win7. Cutscenes are another matter, and seems to be tied more to resolution than anything else. Cutscenes would not display at 2560x1440, but 1920x1080 works just fine.

Just throwing that out there since OP of this thread doesn't seem interested in actually helping people. Unless changing display resolution is now a "hack," Satoru would be wise to include this bit of information under the Win7 section instead of demanding users upgrade their operating system. Some users may be under similar constraints as I am and may not be willing to devote entire SSDs to separate Windows installs.

Rest of the game works fine so far as I can tell. There is nothing about the Unity engine, nor the required version of DirectX that would require Windows 10, and Win10 users who are not on 10N are similarly having issues displaying cutscenes at this very same resolution.
