game crashes to desktop restarts, then large box of warning text but then game starts

The official Rising World Soundtrack is available!
You can also get the Soundtrack on Steam

    The player log would be indeed helpful ;) Or at least a bit more of information, e.g. what "warning text" shows up exactly?


    If the game restarts automatically, the only thing I could think of is Steam: If the Steam API cannot be initialized, Steam will shut down the game and restart it through Steam. Do you launch the game through Steam or do you launch the exe directly?

    I launch from rising world game folder, I cannot see the warning it is a box of text that flashes after the desktop shows after the game starts. The desktop goes small, black, large then thinks. Then the logo shows then the list of servers will show.


    Attached is the player log

    icon58 Thanks for the log, but probably the Player-prev.log would contain the relevant information :thinking: However, if it's the same issue as noci is having, then it indicates that you are launching the .exe directly, i.e. not through Steam? Is that correct?


    The game previously shipped a steam_appid.txt file, but Valve doesn't want that such a file is shipped (so we've removed it for the store page update). However, without this file, Steam is unable to determine the AppID of the game, so it quits the game and launches it again through Steam. This is intended behaviour of Steam (but IMHO it's no good behaviour).


    You can fix this issue by downloading the attached file and put it into your game directory (where the .exe is located), that should do the trick ;)

    We'll also consider to ship this file again in future updates (or maybe implement a different solution).

    Ja, das war ein Reine Verknüpfung aus dem Ordner.
    Ich hatte auch versucht durch Steam eine Verknüpfung auf dem Desktop zu machen aber Steam hat keine erstellt.
    Ich konnte eine andere Desktop Verknüpfung Dublizieren und die SteamID Tauschen, das klappt dann auch Wunderbar.

    Yes, that was a pure link from the folder.
    I also tried to make a link on the desktop through Steam but Steam did not create any.
    I was able to do another desktop link and swap the steamid, which also works wonderfully.
