very recently when trying to boot into vanilla specifically, doing it from inside of celeste by holding right on the title screen doesn't work (as well as doing it from Olympus)
I've tried the method of deleting the orig files, verifying the integrity of the game files, then reinstalling everest, but doesn't work.
not sure what else to try 😭
oh forgot to mention, I'm on windows
please ping me when responding
analog finch
what is something I could provide to figure this out?
analog finch
switching to opengl seemed to fix it but reinstalling everest breaks it so :p

are you on macos?

i was about to ask something but you may be experiencing this
open up eventvwr.msc (windows+r and type that in, then press enter)
then go to windows logs, application, and search for errors around the time celeste started up
there should be something from .NET Runtime or Application Error
is there a
Application: Celeste.exe
Framework Version: v4.0.30319
Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.
Exception Info: exception code e0434352, exception address 00007FF9899C7F7A
Stack:
deleting the orig files
nevermind, i literally just read this and forgot
in any case, please check the event viewer
analog finch
is this what I'm looking for?
analog finch
oh dear
cyan ibex
is this what I'm looking for?
is there a .net runtime error nearby
analog finch
I don't see any
analog finch
oh no
cyan ibex
what are your pc specs just to be sure
analog finch
cpu: amd ryzen 5 7600x
gpu: amd radeon rx 6800 xt
32 gb of ram
uhhh I think I missed a few things
cyan ibex
this is good enough ig
im not sure why that'd happen and it's too late for me to look into it deeper
analog finch
rip
analog finch
I wonder who else can help
indigo cape
I am also having the same issue but I'm on mac...
analog finch
indigo cape
i've just been verifying and reinstalling stuff
nothing rlly seems to work
Is there anything I could provide that would help locate the issue
indigo cape
the same issue was posted 6 days ago
It's also on a mac, so idk if it rlly helps with you on windows
indigo cape
can you play the game thru everest?
bc i can play it thru everest
it's just base game
what sucks is that there's no pop up or anything to indicate why it's crashing on startup
analog finch
can you play the game thru everest?
I mean yeah it works on everest ofc
the moment I go to boot vanilla is just doesn't work
indigo cape
The following log files seem to update when i try to open the base game version of celeste:
indigo cape
I should mention that olympus is in applications
so no, i'm not making the mistake of keeping it in downloads
analog finch
brother 😭
indigo cape
🤷♂️
indigo cape
so no, i'm not making the mistake of keeping it in downloads
i poked around and saw more ppl struggling with the same thing but they were doing this so might as well say so
cuz after the research i did
...the issue is definitely nontrivial...
analog finch
i poked around and saw more ppl struggling with the same thing but they were doi...
yeah I saw that too
analog finch
Well darn I suppose
analog finch
I wonder if there's anyone else who can help
indigo cape
I wonder if there's anyone else who can help
^ similiar issue maybe
I can still play using only everest but maybe if I keep updating things, it'll eventually get better
cyan ibex
everest is not the issue
analog finch
ye I know
cyan ibex
check for software updates and try to update if possible
analog finch
there are 2 optional updates
cyan ibex
try them, idk
we genuinely are clueless because 1. we cannot reproduce this ourselves and 2. nobody who has the tools or knowledge to look at this more thoroughly has a mac
analog finch
mac?
cyan ibex
oh right. you don't have a mac
but most people who encounter this do
most that we've seen at least
analog finch
ye that's fair
analog finch
didn't work
cyan ibex
it's still some weird stack overflow
analog finch
darn
cyan ibex
worse yet obviously none of us can reproduce this, cus if we could then we'd look into this more
the only thing i could possibly suggest is to
sfc /scannow
in an administrator command prompt and pray as hard as you fucking can that this does Anything
99% of the time it does absolutely nothing
and the other 1% magically fixes everything
cyan ibex
didn't do anything 😔
did you run it in an administrator command prompt
analog finch
yes
cyan ibex
did you restart just in case
cyan ibex
i kinda expected that but it was worth a try
surely it isn't another obscure fuckup from microsoft
surely...
cyan ibex
...is this a microsoft moment
analog finch
wait
huh
hjold up
launching it from the files works?
but not via steam
yeah what the heck
it works when launching it from the files
analog finch
I honestly can't say
probably tho
given that it doesn't launch from steam
but does from within the game files
ignore the bg noise lol
analog finch
oh something worth noting is that I put a "steam_appid.txt" file into my celeste folder
which was what made it launch
I wonder why adding said txt file lets the game launch
analog finch
okay so
running the game as an administrator seems to have fixed the problem
vanilla boots up
and installed everest
then booting into vanilla via holding right on the title screen
and it worked!
restarted my computer and the error popped back up?
okay seems like I'm running back into the same issue of it refusing to run vanilla
hm
uninstalled everest and vanilla boots up again
analog finch
then booting into vanilla via holding right on the title screen
booting into vanilla this way basically doesn't work
I put this steam_appid text file into the orig files, then launched into vanilla from olympus and that seems to work
analog finch
seems like switching to opengl works
even tho it wasn't working like this last time
okay so
I decided to remove the steam path, and let it do it's thing to find the path
and now it works?
and I'm talking on the default public version
not opengl
I don't get how it's working
seems to be working now
ig I can note that I tried use the .net framework repair tool but to no avail from what I saw
though I could be wrong
also worth noting that this happened but I didn't see olympus crash so
I also did a computer restart to make sure it wasn't a one time fluke and keeping opening the game to test and it hasn't broken
I did get rid of celeste running as admin just in case as well
at some point during this process
and also got rid of the steam_appid.txt file
not sure how removing the installation path in Olympus and readding it made everything work again
analog finch
oh yeah I also uninstalled steam at some point
and reinstalled steam
also seems like olympus has this when I close it?
oh seems like it's when I open it
but it still opens though?
cyan ibex
also seems like olympus has this when I close it?
ignore olympus errors, those aren't significant
cyan ibex
I put this steam_appid text file into the orig files, then launched into vanilla...
this looks like a steam bug
chilly marlin
I put this steam_appid text file into the orig files, then launched into vanilla...
yea that def seems like a steam issue. no clue what though probs some driver messing with steam or something (probs wrong though)
analog finch
ignore olympus errors, those aren't significant
I figured
and yeah I agree it probably was a steam bug
celeste only had this issue
2 other games I reinstalled worked just fine
indigo cape
this looks like a steam bug
that would make sense...
i can imagine steam on mac not being super optimal
indigo cape
worse yet obviously none of us can reproduce this, cus if we could then we'd loo...
at some point i could hop in a VC and maybe we can debug that way but i won't be free for a while
analog finch
wait why are you here again
indigo cape
wait why are you here again
?
the base game of celeste still doesn't open
or run
i kinda gave up for a bit and only played on everest
indigo cape
I uninstalled steam but idk if that'll help you
just did and it didn't work
indigo cape
at some point i could hop in a VC and maybe we can debug that way but i won't be...
my best bet would probably be to screenshare with someone at some point
small dome
would be best to stop using this tho since my issue is resolved 😭
hey! i know this like months old lol but you are the only other thread i found having this issue on windows which is where i am and you have it resolved. Do you know exactly what worked or should i just try everthing you logged here
analog finch
iirc I downgraded everest and for some reason it started working, but a large part of solving it was just gambling until it worked again, so I can't say if it'll work in your case
