#Crash when trying to make a new game or load a file
1 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
For some more information, I recently changed computers. The game ran fine on my old computer and still does, but this happens on my new one. I never made a singleplayer or coop save file on my old computer, so I am not sure if this would also happen there, because I used my old computer to join a friend's coop save only. When I tried joining that same save on my new computer, nothing would happen either, and if I tried typing in the invite code, it would tell me "Session not found," so I am not sure if these two issues are related or not
Hello @rare haven Thank you for letting us know about this. I'm sorry that the issue interrupted your gameplay. 🙇♂️
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.
Hi, yes I have already tried both verifying and reinstalling
Could you please let us know which version of Windows you’re currently using?
Windows 11
If you could replicate the issue, could you record a video and send it here so we can take a closer look?
Well noted, thanks for your video! I'll relay this with the team for checking and I'll reach back to you if we need more information
To help with further troubleshooting, another player mentioned that they were able to resolve a similar problem by creating a new local administrator account on their PC. You might want to give this workaround a try and see if it helps. You can find the steps here: https://pureinfotech.com/create-local-administrator-account-windows-11/
Additionally, please make sure your Windows is updated to the latest version—Windows 11, if possible—as this can also help resolve the error. If the issue continues after trying these steps, feel free to reach out to us again, and we’ll be glad to assist further.
Yes, I saw that and also tried making a local admin account as well, but it did not help
Hiya, I'm part of the teams here! 👋
Can you try the following:
- Open the game
- Go to Settings > Multiplayer > Block List
- Click on the Block List and share a screenshot with us
Huh I get a crash when I click on the block list as well
Here is the crashlog from when it crashes when I click the block list
Wait, whattt? So you weren’t able to see this? 😮
No, I was not
I have the same bug
Can you try the following:
- Open the game
- Go to Settings > Multiplayer > Block List
- Click on the Block List and share a screenshot with us
Do you remember if you’ve ever used the Block List? Maybe to block another player? 😮
No I've definitely never blocked someone in game I've only ever played with one friend
Noted! Could you share your Steam ID and username with us? We’ll check it on our system. If that feels too private, you can DM it to me instead 
Ok, I DM'ed you
okay, I will try
Hello @rare haven @pine dune,
When you have a moment, could you please follow the steps below:
- Open your Steam Library and right-click Coral Island.
- Select Properties… from the dropdown menu.
- In the left-hand menu, click Beta.
- Enter the following code when prompted:
Encounter2Cosponsor3Lake0Enviable3Subside1 - Select the urgent_testing branch from the dropdown.
- Close the Properties window and let the game update.
After that, could you try loading your save file or starting a new game and let us know if it still crashes?
Also, please try clicking the Block List in Settings and see if that causes a crash too.
Thanks a ton for helping us investigate this! 
Hi, thank you for your efforts and help! I just got the chance to try this out, but it seems I am still getting a crash both when I make a new save and when I click the Block List. I have attached the crashlogs again for your information.
Ahh, noted! Thanks for trying it. I’ll pass this along to the team 🚀
Hi hi @rare haven, could you try testing again using the same urgent_testing build? The team just pushed an update to it. Please let us know how it goes, and thank you so much, we couldn’t have done this without your help! 
Hi, thank you for all your help! I just tried making a new save and everything seems to be working! Just to check, I tried opening the block list again and it still seems to crash when I open the block list, but otherwise the game is working, so thank you! I haven't gotten the chance to try multiplayer, because that is how I normally play, but I'll get back to you when I do. Thank you again!
That’s such good news, thanks for the update!
Could you share the logs again from when it crashes after clicking the Block List? We’d like to check whether the error code is the same or different this time 😮
Sure, here it is:
Yay, thanks for resharing this! I’ll pass it along to the team for further investigation 
Hello again @rare haven, the team just updated the urgent_testing build again. Would you mind try clicking the Block List and let us know if it still crashes? Thanks a lot for all your help! 😊
Hi, I just checked and it looks like the block list is all working. Thank you so much!
Yeayyy, thanks for letting us know! 🥳 Just to double-check: loading your save file works fine too, right? 😮
Yes, loading save files works fine it seems!
Yiippie! Thanks for confirming everything’s working great now! 🥳
Just a quick heads-up though, since this is a build that we only open for testing specific cases, you’ll need to wait for a proper fix in a future update to play normally 🥲
We’ll be closing this build once the testing period is over.
Sorry about it, and thank you so much for all your help. We seriously couldn’t have done this without you! 💖
Got it, thanks again
