everest and celeste both crash on boot

[lone hamlet]

no idea what's even going on here, i attached the error messages it gave me. This isn't the first time it's done this, last time I just ended up reinstalling the game.

Steam Instructions
Epic Games Store Instructions
If you have Everest installed, you will need to reinstall it after verifying.

[icy ridge]

try verifying game files

could be broken vanilla dialog files or something

[lone hamlet]

will reinstalling everest remove any mods that are currently installed?

[icy ridge]

no

[lone hamlet]

ok good

[icy ridge]

verifying game files is the part that removes everest

[lone hamlet]

k

lets see if this works lol

seems to be working so far

laptop sounds like its about to take off, as per usual

nope

didnt work

[icy ridge]

how much ram and vram do you have

[lone hamlet]

64/4

an extra 32 in shared memory tho

[icy ridge]

do you have any mods enabled

[lone hamlet]

that shouldn't be an issue, i run celeste on a literal chromebook sometimes

[lone hamlet]

87 of them

[icy ridge]

did you update to an outdated everest version

try with all mods disabled

[lone hamlet]

uh

idk if i can

[icy ridge]

and update everest

[lone hamlet]

i updated it

[icy ridge]

you sure this is the newest error?

[icy ridge]

everest stable is 6064

this is olympus 😭

click the gear

[lone hamlet]

right

hold on

[icy ridge]

in the main menu of olympus

[lone hamlet]

on 6064

[lone hamlet]

i dont deal with celeste issues that much, i just play the game lol

[icy ridge]

hypothesis 2: it's a broken mod, are you making a map or using one that's in development

[lone hamlet]

nope

prob a broken mod

[icy ridge]

this would be necessary

[lone hamlet]

and oh yea that error is outdated

[lone hamlet]

lemme figure out how to do that rq...

[icy ridge]

manage installed mods

disable all

[lone hamlet]

i can launch reg celeste (not everest) and it does the same thing

[icy ridge]

do you still get this on 6064

[lone hamlet]

or at least it did

that error seems to be old

hold on

gonna try that again

oh look olympus just.. closed

huh

plain old celeste brings this

[icy ridge]

mmm

[lone hamlet]

no olympus, no everest

[icy ridge]

are you on windows

[lone hamlet]

yep

[icy ridge]

and steam?

[lone hamlet]

and also steam

[icy ridge]

steam cloud is enabled by default so you can delete the celeste folder and reinstall though you can make a copy of the Saves folder to make a backup

[icy ridge]

persisting after reinstall is more cursed though

[lone hamlet]

it took a solid month to show back up

or maybe more

but it did

same error

so deleting via steam should keep installed mods?

if they're backed up via steam, which i think they are

[icy ridge]

theyre not

copy them if you want them

mod files can be huge and your cloud is only a few mb

copy the Mods folder over somewhere

[icy ridge]

currently my Celeste folder is 17 gb, and Mods is 15 gb...

[lone hamlet]

my celeste folder is just under 5gb

the entire folder in steam that is

lets see, which folders to copy?

saves, mods?

or just the folder labeled mods

[icy ridge]

come to think of it cutting and pasting the whole Celeste folder is much smarter if you have enough storage

[lone hamlet]

i got plenty lol

[icy ridge]

can delete the unused mods folder later if you don't want to waste space

or even cut and paste it to the new celeste install...

[lone hamlet]

prob gonna do that

reinstalling....

lets see how cursed it gets this time

[icy ridge]

hopefully you dont have 100 kbps wifi

[lone hamlet]

nah, its not that bad

just 102kbps

[icy ridge]

102 kbps in bytes vs 102 kbps in bits

[lone hamlet]

the slower one /s

actually its about 50mbps

and done

[icy ridge]

probably in bits if people want good advertisements

[lone hamlet]

oh cool it just immediately said no

lemme go delete some stuff....

[icy ridge]

what are you deleting

can you upload the error message text here

typing out an image sucks

[lone hamlet]

it kinda doesnt exist now

i just deleted the entire celeste folder from steam files

what i did last time iirc

downloading it again

at 86Mbps now

[icy ridge]

cutting and pasting does the same thing

hopefully

[lone hamlet]

i copied it first, dw

[icy ridge]

indicating your base celeste is broken

[lone hamlet]

yep

i already reverified files

idk how it broke tho

i didnt mess with base stuff (this time)

[icy ridge]

hi

[lone hamlet]

yea

i cant

the error message no longer exists

because that file no longer exists

[icy ridge]

didnt you backup your celeste folder

[lone hamlet]

yea

lemme go find it

also it works now

[icy ridge]

cool..?

[lone hamlet]

idk where that file is

prob made between backup and deletion

this is the most recent error i have

[icy ridge]

oh yeah

make sure it works with everest and mods

[lone hamlet]

gonna do that now

everest launches

time to test mods ig

so now it works

i think

[icy ridge]

[lone hamlet]

yep it works

played a quick round of 2b (my fav ngl)

working fine i think

thank you :3

[lone hamlet]

hey @icy ridge i think i figured out the issue

i use notepad a lot, and for some reason it was creating my files in celeste’s dialog folder

i moved them all out, it works now

[icy ridge]

thought you still had it on a clean install

idk dont remember all this thread

[lone hamlet]

i did, but it stopped working pretty soon

(due to me using notepad)
