Rain World stuck on black screen upon start up [SOLVED] | Rain World | Page 1

somber geyser Jan 26, 2023, 5:13 PM

#

When starting up rainworld, the screen does not proceed and show the Adult Swim Games, Videocult and Akupara Games screens - its stuck right before those
The way this started to happen is: I downloaded the warpmod through the workshop, went into the inv secret and enabled the mod, but then i got bluescreen'd. Feels like this is the reason behind it
(sorry if this might feel like a post more fitting to #1023285408450228335, but i dont think i would recieve much help there, so i decided to post this here)
Even after reinstalling the game, doing countless file checks through steam, trying to launch it without downpour DLC, i cant manage to fix the issue - and this is quite a big problem, since it locks me from playing RW completely.

can you try to disable all the mods?

somber geyser Jan 26, 2023, 5:19 PM

#

like, delete them from the files?

golden lotus Jan 26, 2023, 5:20 PM

#

disenable them

#

aka turn them off

#

on another note im sure you do not have an active save file?

#

im not a pro but i do do trial and error using the process of elimination.. as idk how to read logs

#

ALSO

#

have you rebooted the game since it last broke?

somber geyser Jan 26, 2023, 5:21 PM

#

yeah

#

doesnt change anything

golden lotus Jan 26, 2023, 5:22 PM

#

ok.....

somber geyser Jan 26, 2023, 5:22 PM

#

its like, permanently stuck

golden lotus Jan 26, 2023, 5:22 PM

#

strange

#

try uninstalling all the mods

#

all of them

somber geyser Jan 26, 2023, 5:22 PM

#

and by disabling the mods, you mean workshop mods?

golden lotus Jan 26, 2023, 5:22 PM

#

this is why you got back up data if you have a important file

#

YES

#

all the mods

#

disable all of them

somber geyser Jan 26, 2023, 5:22 PM

#

well only one i had is the warp mod

golden lotus Jan 26, 2023, 5:22 PM

#

or deleate them

somber geyser Jan 26, 2023, 5:22 PM

#

which is long gone now

golden lotus Jan 26, 2023, 5:23 PM

#

that one works well for me.. oddly enough

#

so can you get all the mods out of ur rainworld folder?

#

im wondering if one of them is breaking the game

#

ON anoter ntoe

#

when you had steam install the game

#

did you let steam choose? or did you choose FOR steam?

somber geyser Jan 26, 2023, 5:24 PM

#

choose what?

golden lotus Jan 26, 2023, 5:24 PM

#

oh someone had there game break

#

because they did not have it in the correct harddrive\SSD

somber geyser Jan 26, 2023, 5:25 PM

#

hmmm

golden lotus Jan 26, 2023, 5:25 PM

#

when they moved it to a different spot it the game booted up fine

somber geyser Jan 26, 2023, 5:25 PM

#

well i guess it doesnt detect the hard drive my windows is on after a bluescreen

golden lotus Jan 26, 2023, 5:25 PM

#

its good to let steam choose where it puts the game's files

#

hmm peculiar

#

why not restart ur pc?

#

and come back when you are done.

somber geyser Jan 26, 2023, 5:26 PM

#

and i had a bunch of bluescreens lately

golden lotus Jan 26, 2023, 5:26 PM

#

then uinstall the game

#

and then reinstall the game and let steam do its thing, dont choose for it

#

about the blue screens

#

how old is ur pc\laptop

somber geyser Jan 26, 2023, 5:26 PM

#

uh

golden lotus Jan 26, 2023, 5:27 PM

#

well your pc\laptop may be unable to run the current version of the game

somber geyser Jan 26, 2023, 5:27 PM

#

i think autumn 2020?

golden lotus Jan 26, 2023, 5:27 PM

#

could also be an anitvirus doing false positive BS so ud have to mark rainworld stuff as exceptions

somber geyser Jan 26, 2023, 5:27 PM

#

golden lotus well your pc\laptop may be unable to run the current version of the game

it should be fine, it was running just fine 11 hours ago

golden lotus Jan 26, 2023, 5:27 PM

#

and then redownload the missing files

#

so it ran the game fine before

#

this is 1.9, right?

#

that was running well yesterday?

somber geyser Jan 26, 2023, 5:28 PM

#

yeah

golden lotus Jan 26, 2023, 5:28 PM

#

ok rues stuff out

somber geyser Jan 26, 2023, 5:28 PM

#

well, its v1.9.02

golden lotus Jan 26, 2023, 5:28 PM

#

tbh. one of ur hardware pieces could be failing

#

and you will have to replace said part

somber geyser Jan 26, 2023, 5:29 PM

#

yeah im suspecting aswell

#

gotta have a look at it

golden lotus Jan 26, 2023, 5:29 PM

#

do you know what hardware it is?

#

find out. and let me know. im curious.

#

but ya.. hardware issues can prevent a game from running

#

by damaging the game's data

somber geyser Jan 26, 2023, 5:29 PM

#

its uhh probably the hard drive

#

and/or cables

golden lotus Jan 26, 2023, 5:30 PM

#

ok. you gotta figure it out. cause a failing harddrive cant hold the game's data

#

can you check ur other games on steam, and let me know if they run fine?

#

if all ur games are blackscreened

#

well..................................................

somber geyser Jan 26, 2023, 5:30 PM

#

yeaah

#

also

#

quick question

golden lotus Jan 26, 2023, 5:30 PM

#

yes?

somber geyser Jan 26, 2023, 5:31 PM

#

whats with the
[GOG] Failed to sign in FAILURE_REASON_GALAXY_SERVICE_NOT_AVAILABLE
at the end of console log?

golden lotus Jan 26, 2023, 5:31 PM

#

oh i dont use gog i use steam

#

but did you let gog choose where the game installs to ?

somber geyser Jan 26, 2023, 5:31 PM

#

same for me

golden lotus Jan 26, 2023, 5:31 PM

#

ahh

#

ya i have zero clue on the technical stuff.

#

i just do trial and error. and experiement around

#

but save that info

#

btw.. do this. the pros will want to see these! if you can find them

#

?allthelogs

reef pebbleBOT Jan 26, 2023, 5:32 PM

Close the game and upload:

exceptionLog.txt file that you can find on your root installation folder (next to the .exe, default Steam path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Rain World).
If you are playing with custom regions via Custom Regions Support you should also send customWorldLog.txt.
If you are using BepInEx, you should also send LogOutput.log which you can find in the BepInEx folder: Rain World\BepInEx
To send the files, drag and drop them into the Discord window. Do not copy and paste the contents of the files.

somber geyser Jan 26, 2023, 5:32 PM

#

the console and exception log is in the original post message

golden lotus Jan 26, 2023, 5:32 PM

#

the files are differnt tho. but if you can get the logs it will help the pros

#

ok good! that helps a lot

#

figured id be sure as my memory aint the best

#

how is ur other steam games?

#

do they run ok? and its just rainworld acting up?

somber geyser Jan 26, 2023, 5:33 PM

#

baro runs fine

golden lotus Jan 26, 2023, 5:33 PM

#

check multiple games

#

to have a proper sample size

somber geyser Jan 26, 2023, 5:33 PM

#

dwarf fortress runs fine

golden lotus Jan 26, 2023, 5:33 PM

#

if its just rainworld. do this for me. deleate teh root folder.. and reinstall

#

from scratch!

#

make sure ur save data is backed up of course

#

if you have sentimental collection

#

1st try playing the game with zero workshop mods.

somber geyser Jan 26, 2023, 5:35 PM

#

well

golden lotus Jan 26, 2023, 5:35 PM

#

oh you already tried that?

somber geyser Jan 26, 2023, 5:35 PM

#

might be a little too late to back up

#

but oh well i can just use cheats i guess

golden lotus Jan 26, 2023, 5:35 PM

#

true that!

somber geyser Jan 26, 2023, 5:35 PM

#

as long as i get to play the silly game

golden lotus Jan 26, 2023, 5:35 PM

#

and warp to room mod.. can help you get tokens and pearls quickly

#

burn out is no joke

#

well then again if ur save data is corrupted

#

there is nothing that can be done

somber geyser Jan 26, 2023, 5:36 PM

#

also, root folder is like the one from C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common right?

golden lotus Jan 26, 2023, 5:37 PM

#

somber geyser Jan 26, 2023, 5:37 PM

#

oh alright

golden lotus Jan 26, 2023, 5:37 PM

#

ya. back up ur save anyway

#

there is a chance the save is safe. but you cant know cause well. you know why

#

then deleate the folder. idk how thorugh steam uninstall is

#

sometims you have to remove all traces of mods to fix a game..

#

and deleating the root folder does that quickly

#

just make sure you dont have precious unbacked save data.

somber geyser Jan 26, 2023, 5:39 PM

#

aaalright interesting

#

its not letting me make a backup, and telling me to run a file check

golden lotus Jan 26, 2023, 5:39 PM

#

your pc?

#

or steam?

somber geyser Jan 26, 2023, 5:39 PM

#

steam

golden lotus Jan 26, 2023, 5:40 PM

#

do what steam says to do

somber geyser Jan 26, 2023, 5:41 PM

#

just 1 file

#

it was a singular file in a bunch of file checks i ran before aswell

#

only twice it was a diffrent number,
13 and then 15 missing files

#

yeah no its not letting me do a backup

#

oh well

golden lotus Jan 26, 2023, 5:42 PM

#

either A

#

ur harddrive crashing is corrupting\deleating files

#

or ur antivirus is

somber geyser Jan 26, 2023, 5:43 PM

#

hm

golden lotus Jan 26, 2023, 5:43 PM

#

but i would imaigne if its the harddrive all ur games would be affected

somber geyser Jan 26, 2023, 5:44 PM

#

i havent really seen any notifications from windows defender either

#

the deeper i dive into this issue the weirder it gets

golden lotus Jan 26, 2023, 5:44 PM

#

you only use the windows defender?

somber geyser Jan 26, 2023, 5:44 PM

#

yeah

golden lotus Jan 26, 2023, 5:46 PM

#

that rules out antivirus

#

can you run a disk defrag

#

if you have the capability?

somber geyser Jan 26, 2023, 5:47 PM

#

i would rather not mess with the disk until i check inside of it

golden lotus Jan 26, 2023, 5:47 PM

#

that works

#

something to do with rainworld got wrecked .

#

there also is the chance you require a new hardrive to run rainworld again

somber geyser Jan 26, 2023, 5:48 PM

#

damn

golden lotus Jan 26, 2023, 5:48 PM

#

yep

#

its possible

somber geyser Jan 26, 2023, 5:48 PM

#

guess someone REALLY doesnt want me to play dating sim huh

golden lotus Jan 26, 2023, 5:48 PM

#

perpaps

somber geyser Jan 26, 2023, 5:48 PM

#

well ill try the wiping and reinstalling thingy

golden lotus Jan 26, 2023, 5:48 PM

#

indeed

somber geyser Jan 26, 2023, 5:49 PM

#

see it if works, if not then i will have to wait till i can check on the disk

golden lotus Jan 26, 2023, 5:49 PM

#

to make sure its complete. deleate the root folder.

somber geyser Jan 26, 2023, 5:49 PM

#

thanks for the help

golden lotus Jan 26, 2023, 5:49 PM

#

at least i try!

#

yw

somber geyser Jan 26, 2023, 5:49 PM

#

atleast i got someone to help me even slightly gourmandthumbsup

golden lotus Jan 26, 2023, 5:50 PM

#

indeed.

#

im not a pro so as i say i do not understand the log stuff. but i know the pros will need them if they help you

somber geyser Jan 26, 2023, 5:50 PM

#

maybe someone will hop into this sometime

golden lotus Jan 26, 2023, 5:51 PM

#

maybe

#

but the ultimate fix. is to replace hardrive and or wires

#

if that is the case of game corruption

somber geyser Jan 26, 2023, 5:52 PM

#

im guessing cleaning it of dust wouldnt make much diffrence

golden lotus Jan 26, 2023, 5:52 PM

#

it can

#

but ud have to refresh the data

#

somber geyser Jan 26, 2023, 5:55 PM

#

if you need to know anything else, feel free to ping me here

#

im gonna go chill now

golden lotus Jan 26, 2023, 5:56 PM

#

have fun and what ever you do with ur game, pc, etc i wish you luck

somber geyser Jan 26, 2023, 6:50 PM

#

WOAH

#

IT WORKED

#

#
