Crash before launch
So after messing with the savegame files a little making some faction changes I tried to run it from vortex and it immediately crashed, ran it from file and same thing. After that I did a full unisntall of the game and reinstalled it and it's still happening. Is there already a solution to this? Sorry about copy pasting the logs it's not letting me attach the files.

Re: Crash before launch
Hey there, welcome to the forums.
You can attach large text documents as zip files. I've reattached your log now in a zip for convenience.
From what I can see, things don't look setup correctly to start with. It appears your Daggerfall Unity folder is inside your gamedata folder, as I see the runtime path below at top of log. This isn't a supported setup.
I'd set up a clean install using the recommended DaggerfallGameFiles method. I'll summarise steps below:

Code: Select all
'C:/Games/Bethesda Softworks/DaggerUnity/DaggerfallUnity_Data/Managed'
- Delete your settings.ini and old install first. This is an important step to ensure everything is setup fresh.
- Download DaggerfallGameFiles and unzip somewhere like "C:\Games\Daggerfall".
- Download latest Daggerfall Unity build from Releases and unzip somewhere different like "C:\Games\Daggerfall Unity\0.13.2" (match version downloaded).
- Don't install any mods until you can get the game working. Also start a new game or load an older save to ensure your edits to save data aren't involved.

Re: Crash before launch
Still same issue with installing it the recommended way. When I try to launch it a wet window pops up with the logo for a moment with an exclamation mark and a loading bar but it goes away fast.

Re: Crash before launch
Are you using either Citrix Workspace or Citrix Receiver?

Re: Crash before launch
Thanks for updating install and changing gamedata. A few more things to try.
Googling around on this one, it seems related to video driver. Another driver version for your GPU might solve it, even if it means rolling back rather than updating.
That's all I've got for now. Hopefully something in there helps us make progress. Good luck!
- Check if you have the Citrix products installed that Pango mentions above (Workspace or Receiver) and remove if possible.
- Try running game as administrator (right-click > run as administrator). If that works, you can set this in shortcut properties.
- Try going into settings.ini and configuring "ExclusiveFullscreen=True".
- Try deleting the registry key at "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Daggerfall Workshop\Daggerfall Unity". Unity Player caches some info here that can get screwy.
Code: Select all
ERROR: SymGetSymFromAddr64, GetLastError: 'Attempt to access invalid address.' (Address: 00007FFACA196E0A)
0x00007FFACA196E0A (UnityPlayer) (function-name not available)
That's all I've got for now. Hopefully something in there helps us make progress. Good luck!

Re: Crash before launch
Okay I think I get it now because there is not settings.ini or registry key in that folder.
Oh by the way the game was working fine over a day ago this is really recent
