Corrupt data/Serializition error?

[sudden falcon]

Got this error when loading up the game yesterday and today. Verified the game files and it still pop ups from time to time since the last update. Today, I just clicked ok and continued playing the game until it crashed mid MP session.

Reproduction steps: coin flip. sometimes when i load the game it runs fine, other times it gives me this error and i validate the files and it "stablizes" until it pops again.
Repro Rate: coin flip, really. it only started after the latest update.
Crash log : didn't produce one that i can find
Platform: Steam
Specs:
ASUS Tuf Gaming F15
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-10300H CPU @ 2.50GHz
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650
RAM 64 GB

Hi @sudden falcon , thank you for reaching out to us! Could you let us know if the issue happened directly after the update? If not, could you recall what you were doing in the previous gameplay before this issue first occurred?

Heya!

It started happening after the update. I was trying to finish the Temple Altar to unlock the savannah with my friend in MP. After we logged out, i hopped back on into my offline save. That's the first time i noticed the error popping up when booting up the game.

Edit: I forgot to mention in my original post, but the update also seemed to have duplicated the project coral.pak and .sig for me. I deleted the copy because it crashed my game upon loading any save. It's not related to this error (i hope) since the game runs fine after deleting the copy. But as I mentioned, verifying the install seems to "stabilize" it until the error pops up again.

Thank you for providing us with some additional details. Could you send the Crash Log here so we can further review it? To retrieve it, copy-paste the following file path into your Windows Explorer: %localappdata%\ProjectCoral\Saved\Crashes then filter the date to the most recent one and attach the .xml file here.

In the meantime, could you also try reinstalling the game to see if it resolves the issue? Let us know if the issue still persists afterwards

Found it.

Haven't run the game yet, but I have uninstalled and installed it.

Thanks for sending in the crash log! Could you let us know if the crash occurred when you opened any in-game menu, such as the Map or Journal?

And once you have the time to run the game, please let us know how it goes!

All right so i finally got around to play, life got hectic. So it doesnt show the error, but the game around the third day in does cause a hard freeze on my system that i have to hard shut down my pc.

Edit to add: after the hotfix the game seems to hard freeze every 3 in-game days.

I see, I'm so sorry to hear that Could you let us know what you were doing before the freezing issue occurred? Any detail you remember can help us further investigate the issue!

And if you could replicate it, could you record a video and send it here for further review?

Hey there, I'm sorry to hear that you've also encountered the same issue. Could you let us know what you were doing before going to Garden Lane? 😲

Hello @candid nexus I’m also part of the team and just wanted to follow up on the issue!

Have you tried reinstalling the game or verifying the integrity of the game files to see if the issue still happens?
You can verify the files by right-clicking the game in your Steam Library → Properties → Installed Files → Verify Integrity of Game Files.
