Crash!
Dernière modification:
Below are some common debug steps that should be taken before opening a bug ticket as they will solve the issue in most cases
Case 1: The game is crashing before the WFTO Logo splash appears
This issue occurs when the automatic installation of the .NET framework failed. This software is required for WFTO to launch.
Try manually installing the correct .NET framework from the Microsoft website.
Case 2: Black Screen after WFTO Splash
This issue is caused by out of date operating systems. To correct this, simply install any pending updates you may have for your OS. You can do this by opening the start menu in Windows and typing "Windows Update". Linux users should take extra care to meet all of the requirements in our System Requirements
Following this guide will help: Black Screen on Startup
Case 3: Game crashes during play
Some users have found that by disabling Screen Space Ambient Obscurance and Anti-Aliasing as well as running on lowest Texture Quality can prevent crashes during gameplay.
The best thing to do it delete the Options.txt found at "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\War For The Overworld\WFTOGame_Data\GameData"
Case 4: Anti-Virus false positive
Some Antiviruses has a heuristic algorithm that detects WFTO as malicious, this is a false positive that to our knowledge only affects a small portion of users. If your antivirus software is running you may find that your WFTO fails to launch or crashes on start-up.
- Disable your Antivirus to see if WFTO now runs
- If so then add an exception for WFTO and it's folder contents in the steam library
Case 5: Unknown Crash
