Instant crash to desktop

Support Resolved Reports
2

Hey there @SlayDeDragon, welcome to the Discourse! Sorry to hear you are having issues launching the game recently.

This is the second report today of a instant crash without a dump being generated, The only common link I can see is that both you and this report have a GTX 970 as your graphics card…

To rule out the common things, I’m going to ask you to try the same troubleshooting steps as I did Stefano:

Some suggestions (try launching the game after each one):

  1. Update your drivers to the latest version. I personally doubt it will help in this case, but it won’t hurt anything.
  1. Try deleting your user_settings.json file. This will clear your graphics, sound, and gameplay settings. The file should be automatically recreated when launching the game again.
  2. Delete the entire Stonehearth folder from your steam directory. Important: If you have saved games or templates you wish to keep, be sure to backup your saved_games and saved_objects folders respectively.

If after these 3 steps the game is still insta-crashing, please upload your latest log, and the crash.dmp file (if it exists). If it works, please let us know what fixed the issue!
