Please send the celeste log.txt file with your post like the guidelines tell you to do.

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.

That log file is from 26th of June. Are you sure you sent the file that is directly inside the Celeste folder and named log.txt, not anything else.

i havent opened celeste in ages because its broken that probably why

pale sable
#

It should still create a new log file. Try updating everest to the latest stable version using olynpus.

stray prairie
#

thats still the latest one.

pale sable
#

Can you send a screenshot of the installations tab in olympus? It is on the left side of the main menu.

The latest version is 5617.
Since there's no log I suggest verifying game files using steam. That will uninstall everest. Then install the latest stable version using olympus.

Something went wrong with the sound engine used by Celeste.

Possible fixes are:
Unplug/replug your speakers/headphones
Try a different set of speakers/headphones
Restart your audio drivers/your PC
Update your audio drivers

This can also sometimes be triggered by connecting a new audio device.
