Here’s a list of stuff I did when I had a problem of the game not opening

(Go to top of the post)

[dapper cargo]

Yooo I got the same thing. Have you found a fix yet?

[sacred wadi]

If you read Goose's post it'll tell you that their anti-virus blocked Teardown as a malicious program.

[dapper cargo]

If that's my case then how do I fix it?

How do I find where it is?

How to mark it as not malicious software

[sacred wadi]

Do you have an antivirus installed? Or just windows defender?

What are your system specifications?

[dapper cargo]

I don't know if I've got any anti virus software installed but I've got. 1030 gt 32 gigs of ram but my specs aren't important. It worked before it updated.

[dapper cargo]

My anti virus doesn't have anything to do with it

[sacred wadi]

They are important, your GPU might not support DX12.

[delicate gorge]

Find Appdata local files

1. Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog. Or open file explorer and select the top search bar.
2. Type %localappdata% and press Enter.
3. Navigate to the "Teardown" folder.

[sacred wadi]

Change the gfxmode in options.xml here

[dapper cargo]

How do I change it?

Do I re name it?

What do I change it to?

I also don't see it

I wwnt in options

Went*

And I don't see it in there

Oh I found gfx

But idk what to do

[sacred wadi]

Try changing the value to 1, 2 or 0

Sorry, i've been at work :)

[dapper cargo]

But I can't see the gfx thing

I only see gfx

As a section

[sacred wadi]

Here is mine, currently on DX12

<gfx>
    <fov value="120"/>
    <gamma value="100"/>
    <dof value="0"/>
    <barrel value="0"/>
    <motionblur value="0"/>
    <quality value="3"/>
                    <particledensity value="1"/>
    <renderscale value="100"/>
    <vsync value="0"/>
    <gfxapi value="1"/>
                    <d3d12support value="0"/>
</gfx>

Try changing or adding

<gfxapi value="2"/> or <gfxapi value="0"/>

If the value is missing under <gfx>, just add it with value 2 or 0 :)

[dapper cargo]

Lemme check

I don't think it's on there

But I'll check

[sacred wadi]

Might not be since you've never gotten to the main menu

[dapper cargo]

It just opens

Turns white

Starts to close

Opens cmd

Then closes both

[sacred wadi]

Yeah, so it doesn't even load the part that adds that to the script

just crashes instantly

I will say though, I don't think the game will run very well once you get it to start. Just keep that in mind!

[dapper cargo]

Here

I'm at my pc

I've opened teardown options

OH

Found it I think

I know. It only runs at like 27 gps

Fps

Or at least it did

[sacred wadi]

If it still doesn't work:

1. Right click Teardown in your library and select Properties

2. Select Installed Files

3. Press Verify Integrity of Game Files

[sacred wadi]

Nice!

[dapper cargo]

Let me see

So

It says gfxapi value="1"/>

[sacred wadi]

My best guess is that a value of 0 would represent OpenGL

[dapper cargo]

Ok

So do I change it to 0?

[sacred wadi]

1 being DirectX12 (What i'm using and what doesn't run on your system)

Yes, try that 👍

[dapper cargo]

Ok

Huh

I camt change anything

Cant*

[sacred wadi]

If you go back to the Local folder and right click the Teardown folder then Properties then Security, you can check if you have rights to modify files inside the folder. 👍

[dapper cargo]

Oh ok

Let me try see that

[sacred wadi]

Should look like this!

[dapper cargo]

Ok

[sacred wadi]

(If you have all permissions)

[dapper cargo]

But in English

[sacred wadi]

Ofc ^^

Or Swedish, if you're planning on moving here 😉😉

[dapper cargo]

Lol

Um

For me it's set to system Instead of root

[sacred wadi]

That's fine, my user is called root :)

#JustSkidThings

[dapper cargo]

Ok

Should I dm you so I can send screenshot?

[sacred wadi]

Also, 0 was the correct value

Feel free to :)

[dapper cargo]

Ok

[exotic surge]

Shawn is literally him 🔥 🔥 🔥

[sacred wadi]

Noo, i'm just Shawn!

[dapper cargo]

Hes the best person 👍

[ivory cave]

[sacred wadi]

Here and then options.xml @ivory cave

[ivory cave]

Those files arent there for me

[ivory cave]

[ivory cave]

[sacred wadi]

Have you started the game?

Ever?

[ivory cave]

[sacred wadi]

Try to restart it once please

If that doesn't work and it instantly crashes, I'll send you an options file tomorrow when I'm back on my PC

[ivory cave]

Thankyou shawn top guy

[sacred wadi]

[ivory cave]

Its okay i need to get outside anyway but thankyou

[ivory cave]

[ivory cave]

@me when ur back

[sacred wadi]

Back :)

Sorry for taking a little bit, i had so many meetings today.

Press Windows Key + R and enter %LOCALAPPDATA%/Teardown/

Then try and paste this file

I'll ping you just incase you're on your PC, but not looking at discord. ^^ @ivory cave

[ivory cave]

Thankyou i will do it when i get m back from pub

[sacred wadi]

Please @ me if you need more help. :)

I'll try my best to respond.

[ivory cave]

it still doesnt launch

[sacred wadi]

Could you try changing the gfxapi value to 1 or 2? If it's set to 0 right now. :)

[ivory cave]

okay

[sacred wadi]

Tell me how it goes!

[ivory cave]

still doesnt launch

[sacred wadi]

Tried both?

[ivory cave]

yup

1 2 and 0

[sacred wadi]

In what way doesn't it launch? cmd.exe opens up?

[ivory cave]

let e record it its wierrd to explain

[sacred wadi]

No problem! :)

[ivory cave]

it wont let me record but it says opening playing for like 2 seconds then just closes

[sacred wadi]

Ahh, no window opens?

[ivory cave]

no windows open

[sacred wadi]

After the crash, i mean :)

[ivory cave]

yeah like nothing opens even when i press play

[sacred wadi]

Launch the game and let it try to start, don't manually close it

[ivory cave]

no like all i do is press play and it closes itself

[sacred wadi]

Should create a new folder in %LOCALAPPDATA%/Teardown/Crash/

What are your system specifications?

GPU/CPU/RAM

[ivory cave]

2060 xc evga 32 gigs of ddr4 and ryzen 7 2700x

[sacred wadi]

Sorry if i've asked this before. :)

[ivory cave]

all good

[sacred wadi]

Hm.. You shouldn't have any issues with DX12 or OpenGL..

[ivory cave]

like i played it when i was on windows 10 but is it bc im on windows 11?

[sacred wadi]

You might want to send a bug report to Saber Interact or Tuxedo Labs as your systems meet the required specifications to run the game, you're not using any mods right?

[ivory cave]

i have tabs and some weapon mods of steam but is that the proble?

[sacred wadi]

Try disable all your mods, just incase. :)

[ivory cave]

okay

[sacred wadi]

You have to do this to submit a bug report, incase it's actually an issue with the game itself.

[ivory cave]

okay will do thanks shawn

[sacred wadi]

https://support.saber.games/hc/en-us/requests/new
I'm still looking for the bugtracker, for some reason none's talked about it for months. :p

[ivory cave]

how do i disabl the mods

[sacred wadi]

Go into the mod manager, it's named differently on PC, but i'm sure you'll find it. :)

Ah, here's the TD bugtracker
https://github.com/Teardown-Issue-Tracker-Maintainers/Teardown-Issue-Tracker

[ivory cave]

where is the mod manager located

[sacred wadi]

The button next to play on the main menu, i can't quite recall the name!

The place where you disable/enable mods. :)

[ivory cave]

no i cant get to that remeber bc my game doesnt launch

[sacred wadi]

Ah.. I see.. 😳

I thought you were able to get to the main menu, sorry!

[ivory cave]

its okay i should have been clearer

[sacred wadi]

No worries, feel free to submit a bug report, as the game doesn't launch at all.
Make sure to check that your anti-virus doesn't block the game first though

[ivory cave]

how would i turn off secure f bc that is my anti virus

can i show you what it does

i tried launching it fro the file itself and this just happened

@sacred wadi

[ivory cave]

shawn?

[ivory cave]

Shawn is have reinstall my windows 10 and teardown still doesnt launch

[sacred wadi]

Still no errors?

[ivory cave]

I made a ticket or email to saber and tbey fixed it thankyou tho

[lavish sigil]

Biboo tax

[sacred wadi]

Yay! Nice :)

[exotic surge]

Shawn is literally HIM

He’s the best 🔥 🔥 🔥

[sacred wadi]

Aww ❤️

[ivory cave]

ur

why is this happening

@sacred wadi

[sacred wadi]

From #faq

I am getting "Application load error: 3:0000065432" when the game launches.
If you see this, it is likely caused by third party security software and not game specific. You can find more info here https://support.saber.games/hc/en-us/articles/20140967342353-Teardown-Application-Load-Error.

[ivory cave]

ohh its my antivirus

thanks shawn top guy

ty sm

wait my gaes like so low fps and that isnt normal

[sacred wadi]

Sorry for the slow reply, glad it worked :)

Low FPS is normal, game is quite demanding

[celest wyvern]

You're cooked

[exotic surge]

Shawn is HIM 🔥 🔥 🔥 He’s amazing

[knotty sequoia]

it still doesnt work can you help me

[sacred wadi]

Are you getting the application load error specified in this message?

[knotty sequoia]

This is what it says

[sacred wadi]

Using any antivirus?

[knotty sequoia]

i disabled them all

[sacred wadi]

What are you using though?

[knotty sequoia]

the basic setting real time one and malware bytes

[sacred wadi]

Make sure they're both completely reinstalled, restart your PC afterwards then re-try

[knotty sequoia]

what do you mean re installed

[sacred wadi]

If this doesn't work, please verifiy integrity of game files

[sacred wadi]

Disabled* my bad

[knotty sequoia]
