Using GeforceNow since a server mod updated (b41.78.17) I can't join any multiplayer due to worldDictionary error.
Also being limited to to the steam limitations I cannot access the game files to remove any file/folder like the server ip.

#

I get 1 error in bottom right hand corner which i don't know what it is for, when first loading the game just before clicking menu. then multitudes of errors when joining a server after choosing traits

#

is there a debug window i can see the errors using this system please? No F keys on this chromebook
I've gone through the rigmarole of unsubscibing from mods and tons of times
single player works

#

GeforceNow WorldDictionary b41.78.17

#

I think that shows what it does now. just freezes with windows cursor when i click whie it's joining

#

Yesterday it was showing the error

#

Problem started on the 18th

#

Everone else on non GeforceNOW clients join fine

#

It is more of a GFN Limitation rather than a Steam limitation that you cannot access any of the game files

#

Regardless, try logging in with a different username?

half crown Mar 23, 2026, 2:04 PM

#

Yes sorry i meant that

#

I have done

#

on other servers too

#

you mean steam? or GFN?

hoary crystal Mar 23, 2026, 2:04 PM

#

I mean the servers

half crown Mar 23, 2026, 2:04 PM

#

I have, this server allows 2 users per steam user

hoary crystal Mar 23, 2026, 2:05 PM

#

Try switching to a different game beta, such as Unstable

#

Then try joining a server as a test

half crown Mar 23, 2026, 2:05 PM

#

i cant on geforce now they are diabled

#

sorry keyboard funky

#

disabled

hoary crystal Mar 23, 2026, 2:05 PM

#

That is.. very limiting

half crown Mar 23, 2026, 2:05 PM

#

yes

hoary crystal Mar 23, 2026, 2:05 PM

#

Are there any troubleshooting steps they allow?

half crown Mar 23, 2026, 2:05 PM

#

#

#

it was hard enough to break into steam client while playing

#

#

the settings are there but version changes are not clickable

#

#

is there a way do view debug so i can see the errors please?

#

hoary crystal Mar 23, 2026, 2:08 PM

#

Generally the players would need to do that

hoary crystal Mar 23, 2026, 2:08 PM

#

half crown is there a way do view debug so i can see the errors please?

Sure, you have to acces the files

#

Which you cannot, as far as I am aware

half crown Mar 23, 2026, 2:08 PM

#

ah

hoary crystal Mar 23, 2026, 2:08 PM

#

If you meant in-game.. let me check

half crown Mar 23, 2026, 2:08 PM

#

I'm not the type to give up

#

thanks

hoary crystal Mar 23, 2026, 2:09 PM

#

Can you pass launch parameters to the game?

#

So you can launch it in Debug

half crown Mar 23, 2026, 2:09 PM

#

if i can whats the -parameters?

hoary crystal Mar 23, 2026, 2:09 PM

#

-debug

half crown Mar 23, 2026, 2:09 PM

#

#

#

#

hoary crystal Mar 23, 2026, 2:17 PM

#

Press F11

#

You should see a new menu

half crown Mar 23, 2026, 2:17 PM

#

#

hoary crystal Mar 23, 2026, 2:18 PM

#

Well if debug mode, you should see "SCENARIOS" in the middle of the main menu

half crown Mar 23, 2026, 2:18 PM

#

:/

#

no

hoary crystal Mar 23, 2026, 2:19 PM

#

#

If you do not see that, then debug is not enabled

half crown Mar 23, 2026, 2:20 PM

#

I am not sure if this is viable, but you can force to reinstall the game this way?

💡 This also works if a game gets removed from the GeForce NOW li...

▶ Play video

#

Maybe even access some of the other functions?

half crown Mar 23, 2026, 2:23 PM

#

i even payed for the 6 hour session limit so i could do that but i can't seem to do it. i'lll go through that again though

#

oh it's not an install to play game

#

#

maybe ya guys could petition that bit and i'll groan on my end

#

but back to my rotting fish

#

if my server host made a joke server on a different port with the previous modpack and I joined?

#

would something change

#

is my mod pack cached or something

#

surely something (other than me) just needs a kick in the but

#

This is totally GFN so i appreciate any help 🥹

half crown Mar 23, 2026, 3:19 PM

#

I'd love a button on mod page. To totally reset whatever mods do. Thankieees

#

or to clear that folder

half crown Mar 23, 2026, 7:41 PM

#

#

half crown Mar 23, 2026, 9:47 PM

#

#

*sneaks in beards bedroom, tranqs him then shaves

#

*fights off the hareem of women

#

#

#

You could first try unsubscribing from all mods, does GFN give you access to what mods are subscribed and what not?

#

You could sort of do it through the Mods folder and access Steam that way

#

Then restart the game, then try joining a vanilla server

#

To check if the issue is mod related

half crown Mar 24, 2026, 12:18 AM

#

I tried that thank you

#

i can do that from outside GFN but yes in game too

#

I still get the 1 error when the game starts

#

that's when i know it still doesn't work

half crown Mar 24, 2026, 12:45 AM

#

lovely server host borb is going to add updated modpack at 4am so fingers crossed

Technically you could probably get the game to run on the Chromebook, though it would have much lower FPS than GFN
