When I try to use Olympus to run Celeste with Everest, it shows me the startup mini-screen, and then it closes, only to not open Celeste (even if all mods are disabled). I'm on Windows, using a Steam installation to launch Celeste. I have verified the installation and installed Everest 4896 (stable, alpha). The permissions to edit the game's folder are all enabled. I have restarted my computer before making this post. I tried also looking for similar problems here, but couldn't find anything related to it. ohnoshiro

There are two types of logs; crash logs and log.txt.

Crash logs are generated when you see an "Oooops! :(" crash handler screen. They contain extra information which regular logs don't.
To access those, there's a button that says Open log file folder, which should take you to where they're stored. Make sure to grab the latest one!

For more subtle issues, non-crashing problems or other miscellaneous stuff, log.txt is checked. To find it, do the following:

Open Olympus.
Press the Manage button in the Installations panel on Olympus' main menu. (it's to the left)
Press Browse to open the Celeste folder.
Look for the file named exactly log.txt inside that folder. Do not grab error_log.txt or look into the LogHistory folder as those are not the log.txt you're looking for.

Your username may sometimes show up in those logs. If you're concerned about that, remember to censor it before uploading. Every text editor should have a replace function, commonly opened with Ctrl+H.

#

barren marten Jul 22, 2024, 5:44 PM

#

barren marten even with that command?

barren marten Jul 22, 2024, 5:45 PM

#

it'll open a black window, pay close attention to it right before it closes

barren marten Jul 22, 2024, 5:45 PM

snip_wtf

#

what the fuck.

#

System.Runtime.InteropServices.SEHException (0x80004005): External component has thrown an exception.

#

does your celeste really hate internet connection or what the hell

#

0x80004005 is a code i already know which is extremely unhelpful: E_FAIL (Unspecified error.)

#

@tawny depot i have no clue how this can happen

#

somehow the entirety of c# just dies dramatically by making an http connection

tawny depot Jul 22, 2024, 5:53 PM

#

Seems to be related to Quic, so related to HTTP3

#

So if I had to guess, this is either your Windows install being fucked up, or some AV / external program messing with stuff

barren marten Jul 22, 2024, 5:54 PM

#

av here meaning antivirus

fallen obsidian Jul 24, 2024, 5:43 AM

#

ok, so I did format my PC
Everest is running normally now, thanks guys! oshiro

#
