Crash using hoe near the sea

[acoustic badger]

I have replicating crash using the hoe on roughly the same tile on the beach from 2 different saves. The new game with no mods and my old save (2 years ago) with silver hoe - game crashes if i try to hit a few times near this spot on the screen.

I deinstalled all the mods before making a report. Verified the files - and still this crash is 100% reproducible.

sadly mods are a "use at your own risk" even after removing mods they have already altered your file and can still affect things

[acoustic badger]

i validated the files after that

[buoyant ice]

sadly validating does nothing about the files that have already been touched by mods. removing/uninstalling also does not remove the "residue" that mods have left behind

just make sure to only submit the save that the mods have not touched in any way, shape or form

even a mod launcher can still touch a save file even though you havent "activated" the mods

[acoustic badger]

i can see saves being somehow touched by mods... but validated game files cannot be touched by that....'residue'

i will do a new save now, but mods having changed game files and having the same hash is something from phantasy genre...

[buoyant ice]

it removes mod files that have replaced regular files but not mods files that have been added. those are ignored

[acoustic badger]

all my mods were paks - they never added anything else. Fully new save is absolutly reproducing this problem

i will give you a video for this

checking it takes like 60 seconds.... but you still say that mods are some kind of filth of the world......

give me some time to check how to do that video - never done that before

[buoyant ice]

not that they are filth but if the mods used were files added and not files that replaced things then vailidating wont actually do anything

just make sure to uninstall mods and mod launchers as again even the launchers can affect files

[acoustic badger]

and i said i deleted all the mods and their traces - as i remember which files were there. And i nver replaced any file while installing mods - i did that manually.

i didn't even know there was a mod launcher for Coral Island O_O

[buoyant ice]

depending on where you get you mods from they can use mod lauchers. example is wemod

[acoustic badger]

wemod is wand now:)

i used Nexus

they are all just pak files which go into pak folder

so video is 200mg.... how do i upload it? i doubt discord will accept that file size

[buoyant ice]

maybe see about putting it up on youtube and adding a link?

[acoustic badger]

from my country..... not an easy solution:) i will try to upload it to some file hosting

google disk ok?

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xyE-xabocRxP4ttXBx3xoT7vsyFy2vfW/view?usp=sharing

this is a cppy of the video folder - i can't find how to export a video - the tutorial from crash report is not really working now... i guess steam chamged the interface a little

the recomendation of doin a background recording is outdated - steam says that sharing of that is not supported anymore

i can do a manual recording

the log from crash report

i think its only this 1 tile which is bugged.

Does this look vanilla enough to see if it really is a real problem? I am sorry if i sound cranky - but it is quite late, i lost a lot of time today setting the game up and loosing the day 2 times in a row. Right now i am pretty inclined to just deinstall the game and forget about it for a year or two .... though i really wanted to play it now:( And not even being able to show a problem because of the mod 'stigma' is also pretty infuriating - as checking it in vanilla really takes no time at all....

Hello @acoustic badger,
Thank you so much for the super detailed report — we really appreciate the time you took to write everything up, especially testing it on both old and new saves and including the crash log. That helps us a lot 🙏

[craggy raptor]

I’m really sorry this has been such a frustrating experience, especially after losing progress and spending so much time testing.

Yes, what you shared looks vanilla enough for us to investigate properly!

Since you mentioned the issue is also reproducible on a new save, could you please share that new save file here as well? Having it will help the team investigate this more thoroughly.

Thanks again for your help! 🙌

[acoustic badger]

that should be the save from the video

[craggy raptor]

Got it, thank you for sharing all the details. I’ll relay everything to the team for further investigation, and we’ll reach out if we need anything else.

Again, really appreciate you testing this despite it being late - sorry for the trouble this caused. 🙏

[acoustic badger]

Thank you!

[craggy raptor]

Anytime!

Oh-and a huge thank you to @buoyant ice as well for all the help. It’s super helpful! ✨

[acoustic badger]

Found another spot - again it shouldn't be hoeable but it causes to crash. So it's not 1 tile

i guess i should stop using hoe to look for insects and so on anymore...... pretty game-breaking

[craggy raptor]

Thanks for the update, and sorry you’re running into this again. I can imagine how frustrating that feels 😔

If you happen to play again, could you let us know which spots this happened in? A screenshot with the tile marked would be super helpful.

No need to try reproducing it again or risk another crash - just the location info is totally fine if you’re up for it.

Really appreciate you flagging this for us. 🙏

[acoustic badger]

this spot was the first - might trigger only on second use of hoe

after screenshot i immediately triggered crash just to make sure this is the right spot:)

again - two times use hoe on this spot

and again - immediately triggered ctd after taking screenshot just to make sure

so i replicated ctd on the upper spot 10+ times (while learning how to add a video and so on) and 3 times on the lower spot:)

[craggy raptor]

Thank you so much for testing this repeatedly and sharing the details - we really appreciate the effort you’ve put into narrowing this down.

We’ll relay all of this to the team for further investigation. Sorry again for the inconvenience this has caused. 🙏

[acoustic badger]

I stopped playing for now, as i love to use upgraded hoe on roads to get more bugs and loot, i am now afraid to find those spots by the end of a day.... I am looking up for the moment this thing is fixed

[acoustic badger]

PS Also that treebranch on the second spot should fade out i think:)

[craggy raptor]

Thank you for letting us know, and we completely understand your decision to pause for now. The team is actively working on a fix for this issue, and we’ll also pass along your note regarding the tree branch transparency on the second spot.

We really appreciate the time and effort you’ve put into reporting this, and we’re sorry for the inconvenience it’s caused. 🙇‍♀️

[acoustic badger]

Did you verify this crash and will it be fixed in the next patch?

[craggy raptor]

Hello, Tierre! Yes, we've successfully reproduced the crash on our end, and the team is actively working on getting it fixed. 🙌

We currently don't have an exact ETA to share, but once everything is ready, we'll make sure to update here. Thanks for your patience.

[acoustic badger]

Thank you. This fix is exactly what i am waiting to return to playing Coral Island:)
