Before word!

This guide is kinda dead! I will continue my save file corruption services but mostly there aren’t any of the startup problems anymore so with this I finished it. I will continue to update/service people but will not actively continue to search for people with startup bugs!

I will not involve graphic bugs because there are mostly done with a restart!

Usually many bugs can be fixed with "Verify data" or reinstalling the game:

Ursprünglich geschrieben von Igugf:

When you uninstall the game your save file dont get lost!

1. From the Library section, right-click on the game and select Properties from the menu.
   
2. Select the Local files tab and click the Verify integrity of game files button.
   
3. Steam will verify the game's files - this process may take several minutes.

There is another method before u do the steps below! Try to Clear your Download Cache and reinstall the game:

From your Steam Client, open the Settings panel by selecting "Steam > Settings" from the top left client menu.

In the Settings panel, select the Downloads tab and you'll find the "Clear Download Cache" button at the bottom.


Then select "OK" to confirm and acknowledge that you'll need to login to Steam again.


Maybe u need to stop steam via Task Manager after doing this!

Game loading too long and crashes!

You have to much custom pages installed. Unsub to some and try again.

LoR is starting in a small window!

So if you try to start the game is looks like this:


Go into Task Manager and maximize the game

First press alt+Enter and you should get this window:


Now open Display Settings
Set this to 100%
Open the game
Set Scale to 175%
Close the game
Repeat until the game loads in a large enough scale to hit continue
Open Options
Set resolution to any larger one

Windows 7 or 8

Open the game
change resolution settings windows

Choose Start→Control Panel→Appearance and Personalization and click the Adjust Screen Resolution link.
In the resulting Screen Resolution window, click the arrow to the right of the Resolution field.
Use the slider to select a higher or lower resolution.
Click Apply

1. Choose Start→Control Panel→Appearance and Personalization and click the Adjust Screen Resolution link.
   
2. In the resulting Screen Resolution window, click the arrow to the right of the Resolution field.
   
3. Use the slider to select a higher or lower resolution.
   
4. Click Apply

Game Stuck in Blackscreen

Solution 1:

1: Go to Nvidia control panel
2: Go to "Manage 3D settings
3: Go to "Program Settings" tab
4: Find the Library Of Ruina (you may need to add the program to the list with the "Add" button)
5: Find the "vertical synchroimpulse" line
6: Turn it off
7: Apply changes


Solution 2:

If you have an older amd graphics card/driver, the game will only show the logo, and then be stuck on black screen.

Solution 2.1:
If on laptop with 2 integrated graphics cards, change graphics card for game from amd to other one, like so:
https://pureinfotech.com/set-gpu-app-windows-10/

Solution 2.2:
cmd parameter: -force-opengl or -force-oglcore on steam startup settings

Originally posted by Anon:
Instructions

If you use Steam, simply right-click Library of Ruina in your Library, click "Set launch options..." and put in "-force-opengl". You have to start the game out of steam (or the start menu) for this to work, if you start the LoR.exe manually it will ignore your Steam launch options!

"Can not press continue!" [Game file corrupted]

Follow the steps on the bottom. This bug means your save file got corrupted! This appear maybe after an update from PM, so after every game session backup your game file!

How to find your safe file C:\[USERNAME]\username\AppData\LocalLow\Project Moon\LibraryOfRuina\save_slot_1 is your save file!

Ursprünglich geschrieben von LtSpitfire:

If you have the Steam Cloud online, you can head to the Steam Cloud ( https://store.steampowered.com/account/remotestorage ), login then look for Library of Ruina and download the save you require. (You would be looking for Project Moon/LibraryOfRuina/save_slot_1.dat or Project Moon/LibraryOfRuina/save_slot_tmp_1.dat)

A backup save of the game is stored on

C:\Users\<Username>l\AppData\LocalLow\Project Moon\LibraryOfRuina

Under the name of "save_slot_tmp_1.dat"

If you delete "save_slot_1.dat" and change the name of the temporal file to it, you will restore your previous state.

Skipping startup and loading screen (maybe gray screen)!

So the bug is when the game skippes the loading of the assets and go to 89% to the loading screen.
To fix this here is a Quote from a friend:

Ursprünglich geschrieben von Vulpez_v:

I had to go to my files and look for my LocalLow folder. (Found by going to your C Drive, users, your user, AppData, then LocalLow)

After that, find the Project Moon folder (Different from the one that is used by Lobotomy Corporation, which is Project_Moon)

Inside the folder, you open up the Library of Ruina folder, then go to either the Player .log or Player-Prev .log.

Inside the txt files, you'll should see a similar line:

WindowsVideoMedia error 0x80004004 while reading C:/Users/USERNAME/Documents/USERNAME games/steamapps/common/Library Of Ruina/LibraryOfRuina_Data/sharedassets1.resource

Initializing Microsoft Media Foundation failed. It seems that the Microsoft Media Foundation is not installed on this machine or a newer version of Microsoft Media Foundation is required. To install the necessary libraries please install the Media Feature Pack from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/search/result.aspx?q=Media+Feature+Pack for your version of Windows.

Go to the website provided, then find the pack that is for your computer. After installing and restarting, it worked!

Windows Update Standalone Installer The update is not applicable to your computer [FIX]

There is a little chance that there is an error (or you used the wrong file for your windows like false bit version. It is a little trick but worth) in your windows system and a window will open wile you install the Microsoft Media Foundation update/fix. A video for fixing this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfZaryrjC7g


It should work if not contact me!

How to fix the workshop!

When you have the workshop pages equipped your nuggets get invisible here is how to fix it!

Ursprünglich geschrieben von HeavyBoiz:

Go to:
[Whatevery drive LoR is on]\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\1256670

And backup everything there first. Then get notepad++
https://notepad-plus-plus.org/downloads/

Use ctrf+f -> Find in Files And apply the following settings:

-Find what:
([.])\w+

-Filters:
ModInfo.Xml

-Directory:
[Whatevery drive LoR is on]\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\1256670

Make sure to mark Regular Expression and click replace in files.

Should look like this:

It's quite the tricky trick, as depending on your country, the steamwork will use either "," or "."
and it creates bugs for other country
i'm french as such, it default to ","
making it buggy for patty who's not using a french computer
be careful to look back on the xml created by the program in your skin mod, to see if it uses "," or "."
(also it may also not even publish on the workshop depending if you already have steam/library opened at the same time)

Linux support fix with proton!

Ursprünglich geschrieben von 恨铁不成钢琴:

Found a solution with proton.
default proton version is 5.0-4, but that version could not play audio, which cause gray screen.
update proton version to experimental may help fix that problem.

How to fix Liu sprite bug!

Yes this is a joke. It only should help your mood because you probably lost your save!

Cant get _______ book! [Should be fixed]

As the heading says sometimes there is a bug where u dont get a book after like 10 times doing the Scene!

There are only 2 ways:

1. Try the same thing at "Skipping startup and loading screen (maybe gray screen)"
   
2. Must do a new savefile

Ursprünglich geschrieben von Igugf:

Yea this bug is hell itself

Game is not initialized! [Should be fixed] See "Game file corrupted"!

So this bug is for mostly to the japanese players of LoR. To fix it go into your
[USER]\AppData\LocalLow\Project Moon\LibraryOfRuina\option

When you opened it with notepad go to the line named" language jp" and change it to "language en"
After that start LoR and you get this in the game:

Take English and you good to go!

"Nugget" is freezing or lagging to enemy but can't attack them! [Should be fixed]

Just restart the game.

Last words!

This is my first guide! You can question me if you need help withe something or you found a new bug [Startup bug] so I can find a solution for that!

Another form of the loading bar crash may be fixed by adding -force-d3d11-singlethreaded to the launch options under the game's Steam properties.

This is a rather tip, but it is recommended to keep a backup for you savegames somewhere, which you can access on C:\Users\[username]\AppData\LocalLow\Project Moon\LibraryOfRuina so you won't need to redo everything when your savegame gets corrupted.

rip my power went out while editing some decks and now my save is cooked to the point where nothing i have tried has recovered it

[SpecialZipper936]

I'm having a problem, I can't find ([.])\w+ , so I don't know what to do. I want to mod the game so bad.

[Cyaminthe]

I've made a little BepInEx mod (as normal mods are loaded after skins) to fix the "wrong decimal separator" problem automatically (so the user doesn't have to redo the fix every time a new mod is installed): https://www.nexusmods.com/libraryofruina/mods/183/

[weenie]

I have the "can not press continue" bug. i have tried clearing my download cache, uninstalling and re installing the game, and checking to see if my save is corrupted. from the example picture you gave, it doesn't seem to be corrupted. i still tried replacing it with a steam backup, which also did not solve the problem

[Maromar]

As of 6/25/2021 Basemod seems to remove voice acting from the game entirely (not confusing this for the temporary removal of voices from impurity)

[AkeInei]

It's uh, april 19, and it seems like I have this funny softlock bug in the 1st battle of the blue reverb and the worshippers, where argalia is supposed to leave the stage but he's considered alive and the game won't progress after that, like if he was untergetabble and was hiding somewhere in the library trolling me. Any guesses to that?

[Guy Sajar TheForgottenSoldier]

Thank you very much. Thanks!!!
