First, I would try disabling all of your mods by moving winhttp.dll out of the Rain World folder or renaming it to something else. If that doesn't help, then your Rain World installation is corrupted. Verifying integrity should fix it
If it does help, then your BepInEx installation is likely corrupted. Deleting the BepInEx folder and installing it again should fix it

even with mods off and the game files verified it still crashes

regal sparrow
#

Hmm, and you removed winhttp.dll from the folder?

fathom wagon
#

i renamed it to 1winhttp.dll, not sure if there's a difference between renaming it and removing it

regal sparrow
#

That should be sufficient

#

Something must be wrong with the vanilla game that verification isn't catching. You said that it crashes when you hit start - does that mean when you launch the game, or when you hit continue/new game on the slugcat select screen?

fathom wagon
#

happens when i hit new game/continue

regal sparrow
#

Huh, interesting. Save data isn't included in verification, so maybe it got corrupted?
I'd try taking everything in the UserData folder and moving it somewhere else temporarily

Well, I'm out of ideas besides a total reinstall. If you do, make sure to back up the UserData folder, and don't move it back until you confirm that the fresh install is working

fathom wagon
#

reinstalling seems to have worked

nothing in the log jumps out as an issue

#

is this still an issue @fathom wagon

Delete all the log files and try to start the game again

#

After it crashes, send all the log files that return

#

@fathom wagon try moving the game folder into a different drive

#

I'm seeing access errors

#

You can assign a new install folder through steam

fathom wagon
#

well, how do i do that?

fathom wagon
#

move install folder doesn't seem to be appearing even after i added another folder for things to go in

i wonder. if ur pc cant even run the game??

#

it is a possibilty and if it could run the game before. perhaps an update broke something

#

if you done a windows update since the game last ran.. that could be to blame. or maybe a driver on one of ur hardware parts needs updating

junior perch
#

@fathom wagon is this still an issue

fathom wagon
#

yeah, i've just been lazy and managing other things. if i removed the logs and made new ones, nothing would be different in the logs.

junior perch
#

It's easier to spot when you delete them and then run the game

fathom wagon
#

alright

fathom wagon
#

huh, it seems to have fixed itself. that's convenient.
