#Celeste keeps crashing just before main menu

So I posted this on reddit and was told this was a good place to find some help. Celeste used to work fine on my old laptop, but recently I got a new laptop and installed it, since then, whenever I have tried to open the game, it just crashes right before the main menu and an error log appears in notepad (I have the error log inserted). My game is not modded by the way.

Can someone please help me get Celeste to stop crashing on me so I can keep playing?

@rose pecan do you have the game on steam?

#

if so, you can try running fna instead - to so go to properties and select the opengl beta

it works when I run on opengl beta

yeah "beta" doesn't imply it's unstable or anything, in fact i'd argue it generally works better than the default

not always but often

# rose pecan okay, thanks!

the difference is that opengl uses the fna framework rather than the xna framework.
xna is a deprecated windows framework, so newer computers and non-windows computers typically don't have the framework and thus have lots of errors when trying to run the xna version
fna is basically a replacement for xna, it has pretty much all of the things xna does but is newer and better in many ways
