Game stuck in loading screen, haven't been able to see the menu screen at all :(

angrove · Dec 20th 2014

Whenever I launch the game I just get stuck in this screen and nothing happens.

red51 · Dec 20th 2014

Is there an errorlog or hs_err_pid file created in your game directory (Steam/SteamApps/Commons/RisingWorld)?

angrove · Dec 20th 2014

Yes there is, I assume it is useful so here it is:

Easy way to fix that, go to your steam, properties->local data there is an option to proof your gamedata. After that steam offers the possibility to load the damage data again.

This error occurs if you edit. delete gamedata in a uncommon way.

angrove · Dec 21st 2014

I did that, but there was no message regarding loading damaged data, it was 100% successful. Have I done something wrong?

Nova · Dec 21st 2014

As you exception says, "AssetNotFoundException", means that the assets you listed are not found by the program. Look manually if they exists in you steam gamefolder, if they are there delete them and try to repair the game again. If that all don't work for your problem i think you should reinstall complete game.

Andy · Dec 22nd 2014

I have the same problem. I have tried redownloading the game, reinstalling Java 8 update 25 (x64), but the game will just close after that starting screen. I have tried doing anything I've read on steam forums, but I still can't get it working.
Any help is welcomed. Thanks.

Here is the error log:

In your case, there is another reason: The game only recognizes your integrated Intel HD, which is not sufficient for the game (the game at least requires an Intel HD 4000, but an Intel HD 3000 does also work (horrible fps) when the latest drivers are installed). Do you have a second graphics card? If yes, you need to manually assign it to the game.

I did that and repaired the game again, then tried reinstalling as that did not work, however it still does not work.

Nova · Dec 23rd 2014

Okay, you start Steam as Admin? Maybe steam has no Write-Access. But really i don't know. Your Hardware seem sufficient.

angrove · Dec 23rd 2014

I start steam as admin. And by Write-Access do you mean whether or not the Read-Only box is ticked in the properties of steam? If so the box is not checked.

Nova · Dec 23rd 2014

Nonono i just thougth that makes problem on reinstall....

Try right click game, and delete your local data, then you should be able to install the game again.

angrove · Dec 23rd 2014

I deleted the local data, and reinstalled the game, but it did not work still

red51 · Dec 25th 2014

According to your second errorlog, the "AssetNotFound" problem is solved (as @Nova stated, this will be fixed by reinstalling the game). As mentioned, your game only recognizes an outdated Intel HD (integrated) graphics adapter.
To assign your secondary graphics card to the game, go to your NVIDIA control panel, then there should be a point like "Manage 3D settings" on the left. There you can setup your primary graphics adapter per application (assign it to the risingworld exe's in your game directory) or as a global setting (that should also work)^^

angrove · Dec 28th 2014

Tried reinstalling the game, did not work when i tried to play it again, tried using a different graphics card, still the same issue.

red51 · Dec 28th 2014

Can you please provide the newest errorlog?

angrove · Dec 29th 2014

EDIT: I retried booting later and still cannot play unfortunately. I am unsure as to what made it work before, and I checked the folder for an error log, but there was no log there.

I was booting the game to test before I gave the error log and it now works for some unknown reason!!! Thanks so much for your time and effort though, it is really appreciated!

red51 · Dec 30th 2014

Glad to hear it's working now!
