Phasmophobia game crashes after new update on launch with Unity launch error.

[Ten_inch_chilada]

After the literal newest update my game refuses to start. It gives a Unity launch UI I haven't seen before and it fails and crashes. I verified my files and all of them are in tacked. Anyone else have this issue? Also I have no mods or any changes to the OG files.

devs got a reason to be upset, and its actually i think my fault (judging by timestamps in here, their discord and my reported me having this issue for startup), while i wasn't using it in phasma i do have wemod which showed up in the log files when i reported my game having this issue (and no idk how that happened am assuming its cause of how wemod works in general not asking either its already off my computer).

And yes i know im probably going to be banned either for making this comment or for that log file (probably the latter more than the former or both since im basically pointing a sign at me saying it was me which i rather do than let others take the heat or cause unnecessary drama between other gamers and the devs). And no i didn't use it for the game but i can't prove i didn't so not even gonna plead to not suffer consequences.

No i will not be responding further to this thread nor in any other phasma's discussion at least for tonight. I feel horrible for anything i might have caused already in these discussions on this issue, cause i screwed up. (yes again i checked the times of the comments they're all about around the same time as them asking why i have wemod at all hence why i feel i caused the anger).
So i am sorry for any anger i caused in general

for those looking for answers to the actual problem at hand:
if you have any mods at all, or cheat engines, or 'hacks' etc that can interface with this game (doesn't matter if you use them or not nor if they're allowed by the devs or not) ditch them off your computer, repair the game and try again, if you don't have anything like that at all, go to their discord message their help bot and be prepared to forward it your games log file.

I dont know how that effects anyone for what you did but your story doesn't make sense. I haven't used wemod and I don't even know what the devs are talking about overwolf. There game has issues and there are community members who haven't modded the game. I've verified my files and even reinstalled the game. I'm also not joining their discord after how I heard about their devs being really unprofessional. I just want them to fix their game ._.

Apparently i am posting, dont know what overwolf is. i just know the response times in this thread, in the discord and pms with their bot/ dev messenger match up to when i was talking with them to get help and they spotted wemod in the games log file from my computer (again not sure how since i never used it with this game, am assuming its how wemod works in general with games it has codes for). i got nothing else. Just didnt want to cause a fight.

No fight man, i apologize for coming off as aggressive. It's not your fault man, I just don't want the devs thinking its the community.

Delete and uninstall your hacks/ mods

That's a pretty ♥♥♥♥♥♥ way to address your paying customers dude. "Our game isn't working for you, you MUST BE HACKING OR MODDING". -

If you're using cheat engine or WEMOD or whatever and not having it connect directly to this game to do it's injection, it will not interfere with this game. I WOULD make sure they're closed before opening the game and connecting to a server just to be safe. If the Devs are actually scanning your computer for all files, (which they aren't) they'd be committing a pretty massive privacy violation and would probably be facing some sort of class action in the future.

EDIT: The reason I say to make sure it isn't running is that some anticheats, not sure if Phasmos is one of them, does do runtime scans to see what's running on you're computer at the time the scan is run. Keyword: Running. if it's not running the scan won't pick it up as it's not possible for it to be interacting with the game at all. Please do not confuse this will file edits which will always be detected by most anticheats.

Overwolf is a MSI program that you probably have installed if you have an MSI motherboard or prebuilt.
EDIT: If you do have overwolf and you do find it running, now might be a great time for you to research startup programs and see how many you have that you don't want running at startup so you can fix that issue which will likely see your computer running better overall.

I had the same issue whenever I tried to start up a map. After I uninstalled the game and reinstalled it worked just fine. I know this isn't the solution for everyone (seeing as it didn't help someone earlier) but it is a good starting point. (I'm sure repairing the files would have worked too)

Good indication that it's actually the installer's fault and not the users' fault.
Sometimes a full reinstall is the way to go.

[Ten_inch_chilada]

I unistalled it twice and now it works -_- Well for future notice for anyone just keep uninstalling it and it'll eventually work. I have an MSI and the overwolf thing wasn't the issue I guess since now its working after two uninstalls. And it was working before the last three updates.

Glad you got it working, have fun. Please consider Marking Codename Jericho's post as the answer to the topic so that other's can find your solution quickly.

Got it

they're not scanning for anything, they asked for a copy of my logfile at the time of to clear that confusion up, i did leave my computer up from last night when i was playing ff7 crisis core with the wemod so it may have still been open from that (burried in my secondary monitor behind all my dnd stuff since i was multitasking last night and this morning), i just didn't want people to think the devs were mad for no reason. (if it being open isn't enough then im more concerned wemod was doing stuff in the background but its gone now for good regardless of what happens to me in this game)

glad to know reinstalling the game fixed it though for the others.

Understandable, it's easy to forgot you have a program like that open. To anyone else reading this, WEMOD in particular will stay open even if you close it with the X on the top right of the app. You need to open your hidden icon tab on the right hand side (default) of the task bar right click on the WEMOD icon and close it. I would also recommend checking that it's closed by looking for it in the task manager. If you don't do that and start a multiplayer game after having WEMOD or similar open, you're asking to be banned. Might be a good idea to make sure you don't have a program like that set to run at start up.

Being mean to people over your game not working is a bad look. I can't even start the game, I don't have anything on my computer that should be doing this.

Literally the reason I commented what worked for me. Not a fan of blind hackusations.

[GoodTrix]

Yes, the same thing has been happening to me too, but it will be time for the phasmo to make some arrangements because the truth is that I have been waiting for a long time to be able to play the game but it does not load, the screen locks and phasmophobia.exe appears
