@foggy bramble You familiar with what's going on?

#

@shadow birch If I were you, I suppose I'd look into whether or not the files are installed properly?

shadow birch Mar 19, 2025, 3:18 AM

#

yeah

#

i'll try verifying files

errant drift Mar 19, 2025, 3:18 AM

#

It seems something is corrupted somehow

errant drift Mar 19, 2025, 3:35 AM

#

@shadow birch Did verifying things work?

shadow birch Mar 19, 2025, 3:35 AM

#

nope

#

im not sure what the issue is

#

it can't be windows cuz i play various different games and this doesn't happen

#

i got this gpu today so maybe its drivers?

#

but i installed them

#

so idk

#

others games are running fine

#

the #known-issues mentions that it could be a memory issue

#

since i only have 8gb

#

and the recommended is 16

errant drift Mar 19, 2025, 3:38 AM

#

@crude abyss you here?

shadow birch Mar 19, 2025, 3:40 AM

#

I'll wait for help and reply tomorrow since im going to bed in a bit

@shadow birch does this happen with other unity games or just gtfo?

shadow birch Mar 19, 2025, 3:41 AM

#

how do i know what games use unity?

#

so far only gtfo

#

games on unreal run fine so idk

uncut stump Mar 19, 2025, 3:44 AM

#

Uhhh

#

shadow birch how do i know what games use unity?

Google the name of a game with engine in the same sentence

shadow birch Mar 19, 2025, 3:44 AM

#

shadow birch

all run fine

uncut stump Mar 19, 2025, 3:44 AM

#

Download something like “muck” and see if it opens

shadow birch Mar 19, 2025, 3:44 AM

#

ok

limpid axle Mar 19, 2025, 3:44 AM

#

shadow birch

Hollow Knight uses unity

shadow birch Mar 19, 2025, 3:45 AM

#

uncut stump Download something like “muck” and see if it opens

runs fine

uncut stump Mar 19, 2025, 3:46 AM

#

Okay so it isn’t an issue with unity

#

It could be a ram issue

#

Considering you only have 8gb

shadow birch Mar 19, 2025, 3:46 AM

uncut stump Mar 19, 2025, 3:46 AM

#

If possible record you opening up the game until the crash happens

shadow birch Mar 19, 2025, 3:47 AM

#

im gonna go on vc

limpid axle Mar 19, 2025, 3:47 AM

#

8GB of RAM
Windows uses like 2GB-4GB by itself

shadow birch Mar 19, 2025, 3:47 AM

#

and screenshare

shadow birch Mar 19, 2025, 3:48 AM

#

shadow birch im gonna go on vc

@uncut stump

#

takes a while to load but thats because its not installed on an SSD

#

but that shouldn't affect it loading

#

other than speed

limpid axle Mar 19, 2025, 3:50 AM

#

shadow birch but that shouldn't affect it loading

It kinda does

shadow birch Mar 19, 2025, 3:50 AM

#

huh

#

streaming made my usual 140 fps go to 90

#

rough

#

and thats where it crashes

errant drift Mar 19, 2025, 3:52 AM

#

Well first off
The starting screen shouldn't keep saying "Waiting for assets to initialize" even after you get a prompt to start the game

#

I should've asked this earlier but you did get the game through steam right

shadow birch Mar 19, 2025, 3:53 AM

#

yeah

#

its on my library

errant drift Mar 19, 2025, 3:53 AM

#

Is the drive that you installed the game in like nearly full or smth

shadow birch Mar 19, 2025, 3:54 AM

#

90gb left

#

limpid axle Mar 19, 2025, 3:55 AM

#

Have you tried reinstalling the game?

shadow birch Mar 19, 2025, 3:55 AM

#

no but i verified files

limpid axle Mar 19, 2025, 3:55 AM

#

Reinstall it

#

Verifying files sometimes doesnt fix issues

shadow birch Mar 19, 2025, 3:55 AM

#

I won't have time to reinstall rn since im logging off in a few minutes

#

but I'll do it tmrw

limpid axle Mar 19, 2025, 3:56 AM

#

If your game is corrupted youll need a fresh install

shadow birch Mar 19, 2025, 3:56 AM

#

alright

errant drift Mar 19, 2025, 3:57 AM

#

by the time you come back tomorrow if we still have no idea what happened then I'll probably ask for your dxdiag thing

#

But yeah just give it some time, half the people are asleep rn

shadow birch Mar 19, 2025, 3:57 AM

#

okayge

uncut stump Mar 19, 2025, 4:12 AM

#

I would also recommend installing on your ssd

#

If you have one with space

severe dagger Mar 19, 2025, 10:02 AM

#

gtfo is a ram hungry game, my inclination is towards that

crude abyss Mar 19, 2025, 10:25 AM

#

I remember someone with a similar issue let me check

#

Among all the rest of the suggestion (and 8Gb of RAM being really way too little), if nothing else works, try this: #1120486300538130543 message

crude abyss Mar 19, 2025, 10:45 AM

#

shadow birch

Like, from my (very lacking, I'll admit) quick check with the exception of, well, GTFO, most of those are very NOT demanding games in terms of performance

#

DRG, NMS, Outerwilds are the only ones that are properly 3d outside of GTFO and they're all very-non-demanding

#

And none of those are unity (NMS is homemade, DRG and Outer Wilds are UE4).

#

It'd also really help to know the rest of your system spec... Open task manager, "more details", performance, click on the CPU and GPU tabs they should also say the model of each.

blobthinking

crude abyss Mar 19, 2025, 10:53 AM

#

Nevermind I read on the other discussion, 12600k and 7600 are more than enough

#

Dont bother doing what I asked those 2 are more than fine to run GTFO

shadow birch Mar 19, 2025, 10:54 AM

#

so the problem is just ram?

crude abyss Mar 19, 2025, 10:54 AM

#

Perhaps, try the rest of the fixes of the usual suspects but, personally, I've never tried running the game on only 8

shadow birch Mar 19, 2025, 10:55 AM

#

alright

#

thx for everyone that helped

#

I'll see whenever i can get another 8gb slot

crude abyss Mar 19, 2025, 10:56 AM

#

Try the rest of the fixes too if you didnt, the one I posted is the most complex one so leave it for last.

shadow birch Mar 19, 2025, 10:56 AM

#

oki

shadow birch Mar 19, 2025, 5:28 PM

#

omg

#

reinstalling the game

#

didn't work

#

it made the descent cutscene run for longer

#

but still crashed

#

im gonna try installing it on ssd

limpid axle Mar 19, 2025, 5:29 PM

#

Its the RAM

shadow birch Mar 19, 2025, 5:29 PM

#

probably

limpid axle Mar 19, 2025, 5:29 PM

#

8GB is not a lot

#

Windows takes half by itself

shadow birch Mar 19, 2025, 5:30 PM

#

frown

#

alright

limpid axle Mar 19, 2025, 5:30 PM

#

Get a 32GB set they are really cheap

#

And you are golden for years

shadow birch Mar 19, 2025, 5:31 PM

#

is 2x16gb better or 4x8gb?

limpid axle Mar 19, 2025, 5:31 PM

#

2x16

shadow birch Mar 19, 2025, 5:31 PM

#

alright

I have a very similar issue and i think i have found the problem. This crash only happens with MSI Afterburner open. I even tried fresh install of the game and it doesnt like it.

Nickname status log is from AppData\LocalLow\10 Chambers Collective\GTFO

Look for more logs in AppData\Local\Temp\10 Chambers Collective\GTFO\Crashes\ I found a player.log

at the bottom of player log i saw the following

ERROR: SymGetSymFromAddr64, GetLastError: 'Attempt to access invalid address.' (Address: 000000018007C8DB)
0x000000018007C8DB (RTSSHooks64) (function-name not available)

RTSSHooks64 is rivatuner. I hope this helps or at least you can find your issue from that player.log

#

Also, i have no idea what the difference is but If i open MSI afterburner then

1, open GTFO via steam = crash
2, open gtfo manually via shortcut in steamapps\common\GTFO = no issues and can use rivatuner no problem?!? thenboom ShooterUok

shadow birch Mar 20, 2025, 1:43 AM

#

huh

#

I'll try

crude abyss Mar 20, 2025, 8:07 AM

#

somber sparrow Also, i have no idea what the difference is but If i open MSI afterburner then ...

The overlay maybe causes issues? No idea.

somber sparrow Apr 6, 2025, 10:18 PM

#

Did you ever fix this Neil? I have found that making game run as administrator also fixed on my end, i can start via steam now

shadow birch Jun 30, 2025, 11:07 AM

#

i got the game running good

#

i got a new nvme ssd recently and when i tried to run the game on it it worked just fine

#

not sure if it was an issue with my hard drive, my windows installation or if the hdd was just not up to the job of running gtfo
