Hello, can someone help me with a problem i've been facing since the day I bought the game. Celeste keeps crashing in the middle of a game. Usually I dont mind this (even tho sometimes I lost so much progress 😔 ), but right now I am attempting golden berries for the A-Sides which are long. Its a nightmare everytime I reach the couple final screens and got jumpscared with the Celeste Error Log screen 😭 . I really need help with this.

To switch to the version of Celeste using the FNA framework, go to your Steam properties for Celeste and switch to the opengl beta.
If you have Everest, you will need to reinstall it after doing this.

I think it works, and the game also runs a lot smoother for some reason! thanks!

basically:
celeste is written in c# and uses xna as its graphics and game framework
xna is old, deprecated, proprietary, very buggy and 32-bit only - however, fna is a cross-platform reimplementation of xna, which alleviates all of those issues
switching to the opengl beta makes you use fna instead of xna, which is much more stable

FNA

FNA is a reimplementation of the Microsoft XNA Game Studio 4.0 Refresh libraries.
