Celeste crashing when I click on the vanilla version (Celeste) on Olympus

[crude light]

Everytime I click on the Celeste button next to the mod button I get an error log and won’t let me open the game and then deletes Everest that made me have to download. And it also crashes when I don’t have Celeste as OpenGL on steam

[ripe herald]

can you show the crash log

[crude light]

i tried it again and it worked nothing went wrong this time so

idk why it completley broke when i did it last time

[ripe herald]

can you show the log please

[crude light]

let me try to find it

[ripe herald]

it's in error_log.txt

or errorLog.txt, but that might not be where your vanilla crashes are saved

[crude light]

where do i put that in

[ripe herald]

just upload it here

[crude light]

like where do i put errorLog.txt to find it

[ripe herald]

ah

its in your game files

wherever celeste is installed

[crude light]

its on steam

local files???

[ripe herald]

yes

what i suspect is going on is as follows:

• you had xna and installed everest
• it backed up your xna install which crashes to orig
• it converts your current install to fna, but orig is still xna

[crude light]

whats xna

[ripe herald]

xna is the framework celeste was originally developed on

[crude light]

ohh yea i always see that it says like microsoft something

[ripe herald]

it's deprecated, proprietary and 32-bit only among other things

[crude light]

im still confused why it only works on opengl

[ripe herald]

fna is the modern, open-source, cross-platform reimplementation on xna

this is what the opengl ""beta"" uses

[crude light]

ohh so i guess my computer cant run xna

[ripe herald]

because xna is jank and decides to crash

fna prevents that

theres no real advantage to xna, it's pretty buggy

anyway

[crude light]

oh yea thats makes sense

which file is the error logs

[ripe herald]

error_log.txt or errorLog.txt

the former one is for xna crashes

the latter is for fna

to run vanilla, verify game files, delete the orig folder, switch to the opengl branch and then install everest

[crude light]

yea thats what i did after everything broke

so do i keep it on opengl

[ripe herald]

including deleting the orig folder?

[crude light]

i think all i did was verify the files and it worked

[ripe herald]

your vanilla might still be on xna

[ripe herald]

thats how you fix that

[crude light]

i mean it works once i click on celeste in olympus

would that mean its still on xna

this is what i found when i put in error_log.txt

[ripe herald]

oh hm

so this is a different error than i was expecting

but the fix should be technically the same

[crude light]

it doesnt look like the same one tho

when it crashed for me when i clicked celeste

[ripe herald]

i mean the dates seem to match

[crude light]

yea

[ripe herald]

tl;dr it's looking for the steamworks dll but it can't find it

[crude light]

oh yea i remember seeing that

was it fixed by verifying the files

[ripe herald]

probably yes

is there CSteamworks.dll in the orig folder

[crude light]

yes

[ripe herald]

then it worked

[crude light]

oh yay

so i keep it on opengl right

[ripe herald]

yeah

everest forces you to run on opengl anyway

because it converts celeste to run on 64-bit

on xna that's simply not possible

[crude light]

ohh ok ty i was always so confused why it didnt work without opengl cuz it was too janky

the xna

[ripe herald]

welcome to xna

[crude light]

is xna like a renderer or

it doesnt really matter since its fixed now yay

[ripe herald]

you can think of it as a graphics framework among other things

[crude light]

ohhh ok

[ripe herald]

you can read more on fna's website

[crude light]

oh ok ty
