#v.1.9.14, ~~Unable to Launch Game~~ Resolved With Update and Downpatching (Steam)

I tried to launch the game and the window pops up, but there is only a black screen (no sound either). I have tried validating the install but it has not helped.

EDITS:

They are currently working on a patch to fix this.

Solution to play on v.1.9.14:
#1219328234303524875 message
Seems to be a working fix, the problem happened by mods installed (including More SlugCats).

Solution to downpatch (In case the mods you want have yet to be updated):
DOWNPATCHING CAN BE WEIRD, MAKE SURE TO BACKUP SAVE DATA FIRST

If your save files are not working/showing up properly, they can be recovered through the new in-game backup system.

I have the same problem.. I do not know how to solve it, but I hope that will help us
qwp

candid elk

Me too

modern rampart

same

🤝

mossy dawn
#

yea its just a black screen for me too

lunar wren
#

yeah was wondering what was going on

strong orbit
#

same 😔

atomic storm
#

reinstalling the game fixed it for me.

#

i made sure to delete the rain world folder in my steam files, too.

rustic flame
#

samee

atomic storm
#

back up your save files in LocalLow just in case, but uninstalling through steam should not delete them.

carmine vigil
#

complete removal of the game?

atomic storm
#

yes. uninstall through steam, and also delete the folder in your steamlibrary

rustic flame
#

so just reinstall?

atomic storm
#

yeah.

rustic flame
carmine vigil
#

because I don't really understand Steam folders..I'll hold off on this, it's very scary to lose my downloads.

mossy dawn
carmine vigil
#

Considering that I am a member of the Ru community..I think it will be more difficult for me to explain qwp

jolly zodiac
mossy dawn
#

we're going to have to sacfrice latern mouse to fix our save files and boot up rw again

#

quick get the ritual cycle lmao

atomic storm
#

to back up your save, type %appdata% in the windows search bar, navigate to "LocalLow", and copy the "Videocult" folder somewhere safe.
to uninstall fully:
right click the game in steam, hover over "manage", select "browse local files", and delete the rain world folder.

carmine vigil
#

It will be fun (no) to go through it all over again

carmine vigil
atomic storm
#

i wish you luck! just so long as you keep your save files safe, you should be ok! but even if you can't back them up, uninstalling the game doesn't delete them. :>

candid elk
#

I tried reinstalling the game, it didn't work for me. They'll probably fix this in a day or two.

carmine vigil
mossy dawn
#

i uninstalled and reinstalled it worked for me

carmine vigil
merry abyss
#

you have to delete tokencache

unique hawk
#

The fix here worked for me: #modding-quick-support message
(You can try deleting everything in the 'mergedmods' folder if that doesn't work, since it all gets re-generated anyway)

carmine vigil
atomic storm
#

you delete the "Rain World" folder in \steamapps\common

merry abyss
#

@deep dome the 1.9.07b tokencache format is incompatible with the 1.9.14 version, so any user who has tokencache files will have the game break on initialization and perma blackscreen. a try-catch, or just deleting the files on update would avoid this issue

unique hawk
#

damn, the big ping

merry abyss
#

considering how many users will be affected by this, I figured it was necessary

#

I just want to limit the number of bug-supports I have to deal with :p

#

that works too lol

orchid chasm
#

The folder will typically be located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Rain World. Remove, move, or rename the Rain World folder then verify the files to fully reinstall Rain World.

#

I'll forward this to the team

merry abyss
#

you just need to delete Rain World\RainWorld_data\StreamingAssets\mergedmods\world\indexmaps

#

but deleting the whole folder will delete indexmaps so

atomic storm
#

ooh nice that we got an exact folder to delete.

#

hooray

icy spindle
#

I thought it was an issue of me playing linux, glad that's not it

outer knot
#

when you reinstall yeah i think

inland cobalt
#

oh i thought i could just delete those w/o uninstalling and reinstalling

merry abyss
unique hawk
#

the 'mergedmods' folder is generated when it's loading mods for the first time. It's basically everything that's enabled all squished together into one place

candid elk
inland cobalt
candid elk
#

Thank you!

outer knot
inland cobalt
#

damn

jolly zodiac
#

you can probably just verify the install right?

candid elk
merry abyss
inland cobalt
#

ik how steam cloud works dw lol

merry abyss
#

if you delete just the tokencache folder, you don't need to reinstall or verify file integrity

heavy haven
#

does this only affect users who have enabled mods then?

merry abyss
#

yes

#

including More Slugcats Expansion

inland cobalt
maiden oyster
inland cobalt
#

sry for so many questions im not that great w this type of stuff

merry abyss

ye it's okay

#

Heyo guys thanks for the report. I have been sending the info up to the team to investigate sainthappy

quick abyss
#

I DONT GET ANY OF THIS 😭

jolly zodiac
#

in steam, you can right click Rain World > Properties > Installed Files > Browse...

#

go through RainWorld_Data/StreamingAssets/mergedmods/world/ until you see the indexmaps folder

#

delete indexmaps and try to relaunch the game

quick abyss
#

i just

#

Should i also reinstall it?

#

(the game)

jolly zodiac
#

no

#

you dont have to

foggy goblet
#

interesting fix.Thanks for the valuable information.

quick abyss
#

Me when games makes fixes but also breaks everything in the game 😍

tardy drift
jolly zodiac
#

it should be

quick abyss
red belfry
#

bruh

#

im too lazy to trying to solve it uh

foggy goblet
#

Ok so u simply delete indexmaps

#

And boom kaboom everything as fine as it should be

#

it's as simple as that

red belfry
#

well

#

what is indexmaps hahah

jolly zodiac
#

the hardest part is finding the specific folder

red belfry
#

ok i found it i guess

jolly zodiac
cinder torrent
#

Wait nevermind, it just sent me straight to roaming

#

I think a better question is how to copy it to somewhere safe

#

I’m not the best with computers, so I don’t want to mess anything up

jolly zodiac
#

you dont need to be in LocalLow

cinder torrent
#

This is in regards to backing up the save

jolly zodiac
#

ah sorry about that

cinder torrent
#

No prob

merry abyss
#

no

hexed fiber
#

I had deleted that folder, everything worked and after re-enabling the mods screen is back

jolly zodiac
#

some mods are just broken right now

merry abyss
#

oh, that's probably a broken mod then

#

the update broke like, every mod

fringe torrent
#

i have this same problem, i will try uninstalling the game and deleting that folder?

jolly zodiac
#

some of mine work still

merry abyss
#

besides ones that were pre-updated (except even those are broken)

fringe torrent
red belfry
#

well

knotty seal
#

dlc is fine

hexed fiber
#

I saw some orange ones, maybe the problem is just in me ignoring them

red belfry
#

mods arent working anyway

jolly zodiac
#

yeah the orange ones i doubt work

merry abyss
#

oh yeah, built-in mods will be fine

#

would be pretty funny if they messed those up

knotty seal
#

mods should be fine as long as their target. thing. isn't out of date. they'll be highlighted orange

red belfry
fringe torrent
#

ah okay thank you

cinder torrent
#

How do you verify files?

fringe torrent
#

hoping my savefile will be okay, i made a copy of user data in case

uncut light
#

I'm not sure how mod data functions, so if I delete the folders would my slug pups disappear? I'm playing with the slug pups for everyone mod hmmm

warped glacier
#

I verified my files etc but it’s still not working rivflabbergasted

obsidian rune
obsidian rune
#

as said before, built in mods like Remix, Expedition, and MSC should be fine

cinder torrent
fringe torrent
#

thank you evry much :)

obsidian rune
#

its just other mods from the workshop that may be outdated

red belfry
cinder torrent
#

Alrighty, thanks!

candid elk

red belfry
obsidian rune
#

i'm currently going through expedition with a few modded slugcats, so i was planning on waiting a few days anyways to make sure the mods i'm using get updated to the newest game version

merry abyss
#

you can downpatch to the last version btw if you want to wait for mods to be fixed before updating

red belfry
#

i love hunter so much

obsidian rune
#

i shouldn't have to delete the indexmaps folder since i'm waiting for mods to update before I play again, but I'll keep that in mind and stuff lol

#

OMG IT WORKED

#

I’m not tech-savvy, so I feel like a computer wizard rn

#

Thanks for the help guys 💖

fringe torrent
#

thanks so much, it worked :)

candid elk
merry abyss
#

it should just bring the save file

#

wait I forgot they changed the save file location...

#

I got no clue

hasty plinth
#

tried all the possible solution

#

and nothing is working

#

old saves cannot be started

jolly zodiac
#

I managed to get mine working

#

I’m not entirely sure how though

#

It was either by replacing the backup in LocalLow or in the RainWorld/UserData folder

remote bramble
#

ok. how do i fix this?

rugged tree
#

i wonder what caused this. i had the same problem twice already, is it the patch?

jolly zodiac

orchid chasm
hasty plinth

i feel my saves are killed

dusty mist
cinder torrent
#

First you uninstall

#

Then delete the folder

blissful rover
#

my game needs to unistall faster i got a monk run to finish

cinder torrent
#

Then reinstall

#

Once you reinstall the game, you verify the files

blissful rover
cinder torrent
obsidian rune
#

only mod that I have that changes a region per-say is Unshaded Citadel
yes i'm weak shhh lol

only other mods I use besides QoL stuff (like Sharpener and Emerald's Tweaks and Features) are DMS/cosmetics mods and Slugbase/Custom Slugcats

dusty mist
drowsy wigeon
#

so uninstalling saves ur data on the cloud or smth so u uninstall then delete local files then reinstall and you dont lose data ?

drowsy wigeon
orchid chasm
#

Your saves are in a different folder then the RW folder rivhappy

cinder torrent
drowsy wigeon
#

ahh right

#

ty riv otter

drowsy wigeon
#

oh well theres an update now so first ill try that

drowsy wigeon
#

dusty mist
#

OOH really okay that’s good

drowsy wigeon
#

yesssss new update worked for me

#

everythings fine now

dusty mist
#

Hopefully the update will fix it hunterglee

#

YIPPEE

drowsy wigeon
#

thank u videocult

foggy goblet
#

undercooked update,we wait.

drowsy wigeon
dusty mist
#

okay I’m gonna try it now

cinder torrent
#

Yay!

dusty mist
drowsy wigeon
#

omfg so videocult did all these qol things and the remix menu is still terrible

#

they didnt even fix scrolling 😭

blissful rover
#

IT WORKS

#

IM FREE OF THE BLACK SCREEN

#

alright now its taking forever to load a run

jolly zodiac
#

is it a black screen and do you have any mods?

#

some mods are broken in the new update

blissful rover
#

dont got any mods, and yeah its basically just the black loading screen

#

lowered my karma when i exited the game and booted back up

#

so rip

tardy drift
#

alot of my mods can't be applied :(

tardy drift
#

after the fix

blissful rover
#

rip

#

i think the fix kinda broke a lot of stuff

tardy drift
#

oh

jolly zodiac
#

you can try downpatching back but it might be weird with the save data (make sure you backup your saves)

#

yeah the new patch broke a bunch of mods

blissful rover
#

ima probably wait til the issues fixed

feral hemlock
#

x2

drowsy wigeon
#

yeaa stuck on loading screen and stuff

#

tho i used dev console to try and exit and got this weird looking screenshot

#

looks like something in the rendering is messing up

#

i know i can exit force with dev console but i wanted to see what regular exit would do

#

doing an exit after this one exited normally

orchid chasm
#

Does starting a new save have an issue? Or is when loading in on an existing save?

drowsy wigeon
#

tried starting save too

#

also didnt work

frigid mirage
#

how to downpatch

tardy drift
drowsy wigeon
#

and when i tried to exit there it was still black but without the loading text and with the karma 1 symbol centred on the very bottom left of the screen

orchid chasm
#

Did you have any mods from the workshop before the update?

drowsy wigeon
#

pretty weird

drowsy wigeon
#

well apart from mod presets thats staying on for convenience

feral hemlock
orchid chasm
#

So you may need to is fully reinstall the folder by removing the Rain World folder from the Steam?

The folder will typically be located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Rain World. Remove, move, or rename the Rain World folder then verify the files to fully reinstall Rain World.

drowsy wigeon
#

ill try that after i try with no mods

#

got it working

frigid mirage
#

it works without mods but it errors with the mods

drowsy wigeon
#

one of my mods messed it up

frigid mirage
#

slugbase :')

drowsy wigeon
#

o ill try having all my usual mods but without that one

frigid mirage
#

its a base mod. most mods require it

#

specifically custom scugs

drowsy wigeon
#

yeah i know

#

but if any mods depend on it they'll get disabled when i turn slugbase off

orchid chasm
#

Yeah certain mods will break from the update.

frigid mirage
#

ima have to delay my mod again :D

drowsy wigeon
#

removing slugbase didnt work also heres what it looks like after doing exit with dev console

#

im gonna remove any mod that explicitly says its out of date

frigid mirage
#

does it not give you an error prompt

drowsy wigeon
#

no ?

#

never gotten an error prompt for smth like that before

orchid chasm
#

If you guys want to continue playing with mods before they are updated to the recent patch there is a beta branch opened up to before this update "Legacy remix - 1.9.07b"

Right click Rain world on the library side bar and click Properties. Goes to the beta tab and in the beta participation menu you will have the option of "Legacy remix - 1.9.07b"rivhappy

drowsy wigeon
#

i think theres too many qol fixes for me to want to revert back rivboba

#

im pretty used to having to debug rain world modding so its not that much of a hassle

tardy drift
#

Just got another update for rw so I’m gonna see what that does for me my situation

orchid chasm
tardy drift
hasty plinth
#

but i have this folder now

orchid chasm
#

hahaha

hasty plinth
#

i used a backed save but game but saves do not load

drowsy wigeon
#

renamed the rw folder and verified integrity and idk i thought this was funny

orchid chasm
orchid chasm
# hasty plinth i used a backed save but game but saves do not load

Have you tried a full reinstall by removing the Rain World folder from Steam?

The folder will typically be located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Rain World. Remove, move, or rename the Rain World folder then verify the files to fully reinstall Rain World.

hasty plinth
#

but it's not very important if the saves are not restorable, it's just my game on steam, my important saves are on the gog version and there are no mods on it, it should be fine

#

yes i did

frigid mirage
#

works on legacy

hasty plinth
#

I have the impression that I'm the only one with saves that don't load anymore, it must be nothing serious and unique to me huntershrug

drowsy wigeon
#

happenss

#

i also havent finished reinstalling rain world yet

#

so i couldnt tell u if it works for me

quaint talon
#

alright where can i find my save files so i can back them up?

drowsy wigeon
#

what i did was i renamed the rain world folder and then verified integrity of game files

#

basically an easy way to reinstall witha backup i think?

#

its still verifying integrity tho so ill get back to u on that

quaint talon
#

so basically just having a copy of everything, instead of just the save file

drowsy wigeon
#

yeye

quaint talon
#

fair enough

drowsy wigeon
#

i think the save file is in a dif folder anyways

#

so

hasty plinth
#

yea

quaint talon
#

uhm

drowsy wigeon
#

in like appdata or smth prolly

hasty plinth
#

its on appdata / locallow

drowsy wigeon
#

yeye

hasty plinth
#

C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Videocult

drowsy wigeon
#

also whats the difference between local, locallow, and roaming

#

im curious

dusty mist
#

My game won’t let me restart whenever I die, when I click the button the death screen glitches and the game crashes slugempty

drowsy wigeon
#

looks like someone else has the same issue

dusty mist
#

That’s my exact problem too! I’m using controller but no button I press will let me restart

#

And when I did it on keyboard it glitched and crashed

drowsy wigeon
#

weirdd

orchid chasm
#

Is this when playing a new save or existing save?

dusty mist
#

I’m gonna try take off my mods and see if that does anything

dusty mist
dusty mist
quaint talon
drowsy wigeon
#

okay so full reinstall seems to have worked

quaint talon
#

sorry

#

not seeing appdata

hasty plinth
#

files are hidden

quaint talon
#

ah

drowsy wigeon
#

type %appdata% into the windows search thing on the taskbar

vale badger
#

ok so i deleted that one folder (forgot what its called) and verified integrity and it still doesnt work

drowsy wigeon
#

if its not there on win11 idk how to help

dusty mist
drowsy wigeon
#

okay so right click on rain world in steam and go to local files

woven shale
drowsy wigeon
#

then rename rain world folder to like rain world backup or something

#

then verify integrity of files

dusty mist
drowsy wigeon
dusty mist
#

Ahh okay TYSM

drowsy wigeon
#

then go to common from where it takes u

#

and thats where you can actually rename the rain world folder

dusty mist
#

Ahh okay

#

And then how do I verify the file integrity?

drowsy wigeon
#

here and then here

dusty mist
#

Okay I’ve done that! Thanks so much for helping I’ll see if it changes anything

drowsy wigeon
#

np !

#

it will prolly take a while tho since its basically a full reinstall

dusty mist
#

Ah yeah, oh well hopefully it helps slugcheer

#

Thanks again, very much appreciated saintunyoy

drowsy wigeon
#

i have some news i think my game is still broken augh

quaint talon
drowsy wigeon
#

so it let me go in right but none of my mods that usually had remix settings had remix settings

#

and so i added a mod that i knew for a fact had remix settings and booted the game up again

#

and then it crashed when building token cache i think?

dusty mist
#

Hmmm that’s strange, this new patch has made all the mods go wacky

drowsy wigeon
#

and then i boot it up again and im back where i started

drowsy wigeon
#

hope it fixes it for u

#

for the time being ill just wait until videocult fixes it rivboba i havent been playing rain world much anyways so

dusty mist
#

I’m just testing it out now, time to get eaten by a lizard

drowsy wigeon
#

urs is already done verifying ?

#

u have fast internet

dusty mist
dusty mist
dusty mist
drowsy wigeon
#

weirdd

#

it should say how many files it had to revalidate in the place where u validated files , how many did it validate?

#

for me it was like 20k or something

dusty mist
#

Aaaah I’m not sure sorry I wasn’t looking

slender hinge
quaint talon
#

oh wait i found it i think im good

drowsy wigeon
#

but im not sure

dusty mist
#

I’ll check Hang on

#

Aah no it’s still not working for me, same issues as before hunterbarrage

#

OH

drowsy wigeon
#

noo

dusty mist
#

huh that’s weir

drowsy wigeon
#

hm?

#

what happened

dusty mist
#

I clicked esc instead of any controller inputs and I restarted just fine

#

Weird

drowsy wigeon
#

weird yeah

dusty mist
#

I think it’s working now though I just have to click something else, still saying click view button but idk what that means

#

Nvm it’s not working on expedition

#

Is there any way I can down patch?

orchid chasm
#

Which remix options do you have enabled? Which downpour mods?

dusty mist
strong scroll
orchid chasm
dusty mist
orchid chasm
dusty mist
#

It still says press ‘view’ put if I press escape it lets me pause and restart

#

But on expedition it doesn’t do that, escape doesn’t work

orchid chasm
#

Do you have a controller plugged into the pc?

dusty mist
#

Yes, I’ve plugged it into my laptop

orchid chasm
#

Does it do the bug if there is no controller plugged in?

dusty mist
#

On keyboard it says press pause button instead of space bar like normal, but when I press escape it lets me restart same as when I have the controller plugged in

#

I’ll try it in expedition

#

It doesn’t work in expedition, when I press esc it just freezes all the movements of the creatures until I let it go again it’s weird. It wont let me restart at all though I’m not sure why it’s different for expedition

orchid chasm
vale badger
#

i have a question, i decided to start playing on the legacy version until the mods get updated for the new version, how long will it take for the mods to get updated? (i know the developers dont control that but how long does it usually take for people to update the mods?)

hasty plinth
#

did you try my broken saves riv ? huntersip

dusty mist
merry abyss
#

depends on the mod though, some may not be available until the end of the week or month or whenever the author gets around to it

low plover
#

Someone else discovered that the OSHA Compliant Shelters mod causes some kind of error that causes the save to load infinitely

orchid chasm
hasty plinth
#

Sure

#

done hunterok

solemn robin
#

i think i understand what to do but at the same time i think ill wait

#

tried playing on legacy but it was too buggy unfortunately

jolly zodiac
#

Is it buggy? I was planning on using legacy

orchid chasm

wanton berry
#

I found a fix for the broken saves thing

#

Boot up the game, go into options, there's a backups button

#

you can restore a save from before the update if you accidentally saved

#

do that, quit the game, downpatch and you save will be working in 07b

strong tiger
#

Ty, hopefully this helps if I end up needing it :3

wanton berry
#

my latest save was from yesterday so

#

also Imma post a screenie with downpatched

jolly zodiac
#

thank you, i added this to the header of this post so hopefully people who need it can see it

wanton berry
#

tbh that save is a little old

might actually be grabbing the wrong day

v.1.9.14, Unable to Launch Game Resolved With Update and Downpatching (Steam)

raven bramble
#

My antivirus detected the game as a Trojan and I can't open the game anymore

mystic mango
#

my game just decides not to open after doing everything

#

im just gonna wait for andrew or someone else to do smth about it

raven bramble
#

I have the game via steam and when I try to open the game, my antivirus detects it as if it were a Trojan and I can't open the game

spark kelp
#

Uh..

#

My brother bought rain world on his account (even though I paid for it) because I didn't have a steam account at the time

#

So uh... What do I do

wanton berry
#

Steam does have family sharing afaik

spark kelp
#

I know

#

But

#

They are saying to uninstall then reinstall to play the game because of the problems with start up

jolly zodiac
spark kelp
#

I mean

#

The game starts up

#

But if I enter any campaign

jolly zodiac
#

on the latest patch, a bunch of mods are broken

spark kelp
#

It's stuck on the loading screen

jolly zodiac
#

yeah thats a mod causing that

#

you can try to downpatch to the previous version or uninstall mods until you can figure out which one(s) are broken

raven bramble
fair axle
# raven bramble Yeah

it seems that kaspersky flags rainworld after the update as a trojan for some reason

#

only kaspersky from what i have seen though

spark kelp
wanton berry
#

maybe it's messing the save up? Idk

spark kelp
#

Frick

wanton berry
#

I don't imagine it is but

spark kelp
#

I made so much progress on that save

foggy goblet
#

So did the solution was found,if so how do i fix it

wanton berry
#

backups are indeed a thing

spark kelp
#

They don't save game saves I thought

wanton berry
#

They do

spark kelp
#

Ok

wanton berry
#

My experience was admittedly kinda smooth compared to some stuff I've heard

#

1.9.14/1.9.15 did kinda break my main save on 1.9.07b but restoring a backup in 1.9.14 then downgrading fixed that issue

spark kelp
#

I uninstalled and reinstalled

#

I made a backup

#

Still stuck in loading screen

#

How do I switch versions?

heavy haven
spark kelp
heavy haven
#

which is the previously released version

#

(versions 1.9.08-1.9.13 were presumably development builds that were never released)

#

I'm too stupid to know what ur saying

heavy haven
#

one of the options says that

spark kelp
#

Ok

rustic flame
#

Any Idea how to fix monk campaign not working? Deleted index maps didnt do anything

#

actually this is very interesting.Devs did the update

#

But it corrupted the game

#

awesome

unreal ibex
#

does anyone know whether deleting the entire rain world folder deletes saves?

#

whenever i try to open the window it shows a unity bug square screen and then just immediately closes

#

it might have been because i enabled Guardian and Better Pup AI, which both are designed for older versions...

wild turtle
unreal ibex
#

what

#

isnt that what i should delete

#

am i supposed to delete something else?

unreal ibex
#

(sorry for ping)

wild turtle
#

DO NOT DELETE YOUR SAVES

#

All your backups are there...

unreal ibex
#

uh

#

ok

#

i moved the folder out into Documents

#

is that ok?

wild turtle
#

Wrong reply

#

Again, those are your saves

#

Not the actual RW folder

unreal ibex
#

ah

#

where is the actual RW folder then

wild turtle
#

That's in steamapps/common

unreal ibex
#

ah

#

welp i've moved my RW folder out into Documents guess i'll just move it back

wild turtle
#

As in the game folder or the save folder

unreal ibex
#

the one in locallow

#

ok i've deleted the game rain world folder and moved saves back

#

reinstalling now

#

hopefully i didn't break anything...

indigo pond
#

I tried downpatching to 1.9.07 i believe just to test and none of my saves were there, is that normal and when the patch rolls around will they be ok? not very tech savy and not sure if a question like this has been answered so apologies!!

unreal ibex
#

i just had the same problem, i copied my rain world save folder to somewhere else before copying the whole thing back in and downpatching to 1.9.07, but everything is gone

foggy goblet
#

I'm even think that our saves are in steam cloud or smth like that

#

lol

clear jungle
#

you can access them by only going back to the broken version

#

so its just stuck in "we cant do anything"

scenic cliff
#

idk if its the same problem for me but when i try to open the game on steam on the newest patch all that i get is a white screen. when i downpatch and launch the game i get a black screen and when i click it tells me its not responding.

hexed fiber
#

At least it worked for me

#

on the newest patch i can do things like Alt Tab, and the game isn't loading, just black screen

scenic cliff
hexed fiber
#

Strange

scenic cliff
#

could just be user error and i messed up the files in some way

#

but i did reinstall the game and try just to achive the same result

steel fable
dire lion
#

this is all tl;dr. any updates on how to fix the issue?

merry abyss
#

they pushed an update that's supposed to fix this issue

#

of course, you might have a different issue that has the same result

scenic cliff
#

this is all i see when i boot up the game. i dont have any mods installed and have uninstalled and reinstalled the game

Close the game and upload all of the following, if they exist. Paths with a standard Steam installation provided:

  • 'exceptionLog.txt' - Inform if it does not exist. C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Rain World\
  • 'consoleLog.txt' C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Rain World\
  • 'LogOutput.log' C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Rain World\BepInEx\
  • 'crsLog.txt' - Only appears if you have Custom Regions Support installed & enabled. C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Rain World\RainWorld_Data\StreamingAssets\
    To send the files, drag and drop them into the Discord window. Do not copy and paste the contents of the files.
scenic cliff
#

those are the only two i could find in the files

merry abyss
#

disable HungryLizards mod, it doesn't work with the new update

#

also... PartialityWrapper??

scenic cliff
merry abyss
#

that's an old 1.5 modding file

scenic cliff
merry abyss
#

what mods do you have enabled?

#

the code for it is called HungryLizards

scenic cliff
#

at least not that i could find

#

wqait

#

let me look in bepin

#

ya im not finding anything by HungryLizards

#

ill try and like browse all my files untill i find it

wanton berry
#

HungryLizards is a mod not a mod author

#

It’s by someone on FA

merry abyss
#
[Info   :   BepInEx] Loading [Hungrier Lizards 1.5.3]
[Message:   BepInEx] Chainloader startup complete``` whatever this is, it's what's causing the issue
wanton berry
#

Remove the mod

#

It's probably in either C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Rain World\RainWorld_Data\StreamingAssets\mods or C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\312520

#

What do I do. When I turned on the game I noticed none of my mods were enabled. When I enabled them and restarted the game it wouldn't launch. Now whenever I try to launch rain world it starts for a few seconds but an error flashes on my screen, then it stops launching.
I've already tried deleting a folder that people said would fix it and nothing has worked.

spark kelp
#

There is a guide on steam

#

Look in "guides"

#

Also, wasn't made by me

sinful glen
#

Even tried uninstalling and reinstalling

#

It took at least 4 hours and it didn't even work

merry abyss
#

many mods are broken in the new update, so you can't re-enable them all

#

send logs tho

#

;exceptionlog

thick hollyBOT
#

Close the game and upload the 'exceptionLog.txt' file that you can find in your root installation folder (next to the RW .exe).
The file may not always exist - if it does not, this is useful to know.

Standard Steam path:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Rain World

To send the file, drag and drop it into the Discord window. Do not copy and paste the contents of the file.

merry abyss
#

it'll say what's wrong (if it generates...)

sinful glen
#

I don't see the file

merry abyss
#

did you restart the game since?

#

well, guess you couldn't

merry abyss
#

send the other ones then

sinful glen
merry abyss
#

ah, the secret mod loading exception

sinful glen
#

The huh

merry abyss
#

so you've got quite a few code mods loading, probably one of them is breaking

sinful glen
#

How do I deactivate them without being able to open the game?

merry abyss
#

delete Rain World\RainWorld_Data\StreamingAssets\enabledMods.txt

sinful glen
#

Got it

#

Do I reload after?

merry abyss
#

yeah

#

you should be able to load up the game then and you'll probably want to disable all mods in the remix menu, re-enabling only ones that are confirmed to work

sinful glen
#

It's loading now! Thank you!

stark olive
#

@merry abyss Sorry to ping, but could you tell me what to delete or do I just delete what Nic/Kat had to?

merry abyss
#

uh, send logs?

#

oh nvm, you said this was after reapplying mods

merry abyss
stark olive
#

ok

foggy goblet
#

yo so

#

I do have the same problem

#

I deleted the rainworld enabled mods and blah blah

#

lemme send the logs and stuff

#

But nothing helped

#

why the hell does it download blood mod/

merry abyss
#

no exceptionlog?

foggy goblet
#

yup

merry abyss
#

sick

#

ok, blood mod is the only thing shown here that I'm not sure if it works

foggy goblet
#

and it still tries to enable the blood mod WHICH i am deleted and unsubscribed to

merry abyss
#

could you send RainWorld_Data\StreamingAssets\enabledMods.txt

foggy goblet
#

sec

#

nuh uh

#

no such a thing

#

cuz i got none enabled

#

and i did alot to basically get it to boot up?

merry abyss
#

can you delete LogOutput.log and see if it appears again

foggy goblet
#

aight

#

i am reboot the game after right

#

anyway sec

#

it didnt appeared

#

interesting?

merry abyss
#

ok something really wrong is happening

#

I'd recommend verifying file integrity

foggy goblet
#

did it

#

nuh uh

merry abyss
#

ok, change this to 'true'

foggy goblet
#

id do it again just to make sure

merry abyss
#

then a file called 'output_log.txt' will appear when you run the game

#

and send that

foggy goblet
#

aight

#

interesting nothing seems wrong

#

and it still wont boot up

merry abyss
#

that's LogOutput.log

#

which is not Output_Log.txt

foggy goblet
#

theres none lemme ss

merry abyss
#

not in the root Rain World folder?

foggy goblet
merry abyss
#

that's LogOutput again

#

it should be right here, not in the BepInEx folder

foggy goblet
#

OHHHHHHHHHHHHH
\

#

#

the real error

#

...ok, this looks like you've deleted workshop mods that you're still subscribed to

foggy goblet
#

yeah thats could be the issue

#

so

merry abyss
#

so unsubscribe from any mods you've deleted and it should be fine?

foggy goblet
#

i did

#

i deleted the game lol and reinstalled it and etc etc

merry abyss
#

did you click the 'unsubscribe' button though?

#

cuz deleting won't unsubscribe them

foggy goblet
#

yup

#

nothing in subscribed and worshop

#

all empty and clean

merry abyss
#

apparently it's the cyrillic characters in the filepath to Rain World

foggy goblet
#

oh fuck

#

alr il rename them in a sec

merry abyss
#

I'm also letting the person who wrote this code know so they can fix the issue

foggy goblet
#

thats a funny issue to say the least

#

The answer was right infront of our eyes.

merry abyss
#

did it work?

foggy goblet
#

nuh uh

#

il test it rn

#

but it technically should.

#

Garrhgg

#

Now it makin me reload game

#

All for silly slugcat

merry abyss
#

ah, so that issue's resolved?

#

that's a pretty bad issue to have tbh, affects a lot of non english players

foggy goblet
#

It takes a while to download

#

Even if so

#

I hope it would be resolved

#

But cyrillic characters crashing the game is silly.

merry abyss
#

yes it is lol

#

should def get fixed asap

foggy goblet
#

Ig i now play the waiting game

#

Thank you so much.

#

Literally the most helpful person i met while being on the internet.

#

Инфа для русских,чисто чтобы знали у меня игра не запускалась из-за русских символов имена папок дисков и тп в общем напишите кучу английских символов,или же банально переведите имена папок на английский

#

^
A text i wrote for russian people and basically a TL:DR of whole conversation

merry abyss
#

are you on the russian rw server?

foggy goblet
#

nuh uh

#

i prefer english people to say the least

merry abyss
#

might be nice to spread the word there and maybe on steam

foggy goblet
#

yup

#

Anyway once again thanks for your help and time it did take a while

merry abyss
#

ye no problem

foggy goblet
#

Now I'll test some of the mods, are they work or they are not

merry abyss
hexed fiber
#

I had similar issue, but with something else, i don't really remember

#

I hope that it works, because even the old fix doesn't help me now

sullen zenith
#

orchid chasm
#

oh you are subscribed to mods

merry abyss
#

looks like the better pups mod is breaking it

sullen zenith
#

oof, yes?

merry abyss
#

delete Rain World/RainWorld_Data/StreamingAssets/enabledMods.txt

#

that'll get you into the game and you'll have to reapply mods

#

but disable BetterPups

sullen zenith
merry abyss
#

just enabledMods.txt

sullen zenith
#

wdym enable

sullen zenith
#

or pups+

merry abyss
#

uh, idk

#

the code name is betterpups

sullen zenith
#

I tried better pup ai

#

so now I just reopen

merry abyss
#

ye

sullen zenith
#

Ok It was better pup ai

#

thanks for the assistance

#

it also said that the mod wasnt going to be updated

#

sullen zenith
#

#

welp im fine now

merry abyss
#

oh wait you have crs

sullen zenith
#

nvm

merry abyss
#

crs crashes when building token cache but that only happens the first time the game is run after mods are applied

#

I really need to push the update that fixes that...

warped glacier
#

This might be a silly question, but is it safe to reinstall mods now? Or is there any way to identify which mods won’t be updated/aren’t safe?

merry abyss
warped glacier
#

Thankyou sm!

mystic mango
#

well mines still doin this stuff so guess ill just abandon the game ig

paper widget
#

tried deleting indexmaps and i still get the black screen

merry abyss
#

nah that bug was fixed ages ago

merry abyss
merry abyss
#

looks like you don't have file sending perms so you can dm the file to me instead

mystic mango
#

ok

mystic mango
#

i dont even know what to do at this point since ive checked everything so im just gonna give up

orchid chasm
mystic mango
#

so uhhhh

#

idk at this point

orchid chasm
#

Have you tried doing a full reinstall by removing the Rain World folder from Steam?

mystic mango
#

yup

orchid chasm
#

Could you describe the issue you are experiencing?

mystic mango
#

it just

#

whenever i load in the game

#

its just

#

a black screen

#

ive waited for like

#

10 minutes before and then it crashed

orchid chasm
#

So you never make it to the main menu?

mystic mango
#

nope

#

not at all

#

it goes to like

#

white

#

then to black

#

then just the steam stuff appears

#

then dissapears

#

and bam

#

nothin happens after

orchid chasm
#

Have you tried removing your save?

merry abyss
mystic mango
#

aint letting me sending it even if i do try smth

merry abyss
#

it won't send in this server since people have to send like 30 messages or smthn before they get file sharing perms

#

did it not even let you dm it to me?

mystic mango
#

nope

#

it didnt

merry abyss
#

hm, weird

mystic mango
#

let me for some reason

#

i dont play this game as much as i used to before

#

so its not that much big of a deal for me

merry abyss
#

looks like you just got the batfly role, can you send files now?

mystic mango
#

lemme try

#

nope

merry abyss
#

(ah, did they up the limit to like 50 message?)

#

does it say 'crash!!!' anywhere in the file?

#

er, ig you said it normally just stays open

#

so what about 'stack trace'?

mystic mango
#

nope

merry abyss
#

hm well, hard to debug without seeing the file

#

you could always downpatch to 1.9.07b, which was pretty stable

mystic mango
#

aight

#

lemme see if that works

#

time to wait for it to load

#

seems like it will take about

#

49 years

#

for some reason

#

uhhh

#

yeah that seems to work but like

#

4 mods are outdated so ill just

#

disable those
