Game doesn't want to launch (Sorry i'm FR^^)

Hi there is it possible to get any information about my game ? It doesn’t want to start and i’m very embarrased by this fact … I’m on Steam / Win 7 / 8 go RAM / GTX 960 / FX 8320E Amd

Welcome to the forum, @EazyoWoP :slight_smile:

Could you upload your stonehearth.log file?

It should be in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stonehearth\

Can’t find it maybe because i can start the game ?

It might be, but inside it we could find a hint about why your game can’t start.

Do you have a user_settings.json file, at least? Ah, if you’re on Windows 7, make sure that you have Service Pack 1 installed.

There are several things you can try, maybe one of these can make your game to start correctly:

  1. Update your graphics drivers from here: http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/107564/en-us

  2. If your user_settings.json seems incomplete (you can open it with any text editor, it’s a text file), try deleting it (the game will automatically create it again, or try modifying it yourself with these values (use your ID and screen resolution):

{
	"user_id" : "YOUR ID HERE",
	"collect_analytics" : true,
	"enable_auto_save" : false,
	"renderer" : {
		"run_once" : true,
		"use_high_quality" : false,
		"enable_ssao" : false,
		"enable_shadows" : false,
		"shadow_resolution" : 256,
		"msaa_samples" : 0,
		"shadow_quality" : 1,
		"max_lights" : 30,
		"enable_vsync" : false,
		"enable_fullscreen" : false,
		"screen_width" : 1920,
		"screen_height" : 1018,
		"draw_distance" : 1000
	},
	"audio" : {
		"bgm_volume" : 0.6,
		"efx_volume" : 0.6
	},
	"enable_lua_jit" : false,
	"force_32_bit" : false,
	"language" : "en"
}
  1. Upload your crash.dmp file so that devs can take a look. It should be in the same folder, where you have Stonehearth installed.

  2. Try running the game outside of Steam, sometimes it can fail if Steam is running in the background.

I find it but i can’t upload because i’m a new user but see what’s going on :

Hmm that’s short. Does the game window open at least? Do you get to see the Stonehearth process in the Task Manager, or it just crashes to desktop?

I hope one of my steps above works for you. First make sure that you have SP1:

and then try the other things I suggested if the game still doesn’t start.

It also can be caused by adware, or your firewall/antivirus blocking the game.

Thanks i’ll try after restaring my computer :slight_smile:

Ok i can’t lauch it i try to instal service pack 1 but i’m on win 7 crack so maybe there’s a solution ?

Sorry, but if your Windows 7 doesn’t have Service Pack 1 I’m afraid that you won’t be able to run the game in that computer. It’s in the minimum requirements for Windows 7 :sweat:

You could try enabling the game through your firewall/antivirus or something, but I believe that without the SP it won’t be able to launch.

to be fair getting service pack 1 is worth a computer reinstall! And it will be faster to reinstall than downloading the service pack only to see windows fail installing it 6 times, then there’s the +220 other updates that comes after.

And i would be surprised if you dont know how to get an updated windows :innocent:

I’ll try some thers sollutions thanks all have fun
