My game is crashing :_:

What version? Do you have the crash logs?

Developer

That's not good. Do you have any more details? Are you doing something specific to make it crash or is it just when the game starts up?

my game is crashing upon save file loading, this only happened after i put this game on steam, do you know how to solve it?

Developer

Can you send me your level file please and I'll take a look?

Also can you send a file called Autonauts_Data/output_log.txt in your install folder please?

when i clicked open on my save file, it showed me lots of 0s, 16s and 17s then lots of code, is that what you mean? and also how do i send  Autonauts_Data to you?

Developer

Yep the save file has lots of numbers in it like that. You can send me those using any free Online File Transfer service. I use Dropbox but there are many others. If you get stuck you can cut/paste the contents of output_log.txt into a reply message here (the level file is too big to do that with)

can you give me some info on how to paste the contents of autonauts_data?

Developer

Just open the file in any text editor, select everything (usually CTRL+A), copy it, then paste it into a reply here

i have copied the SAVE FILE TEXT so now i put it in a reply?

its confusing me because theres autonauts_data and the save file, but i checked and its probably the save file because i made a new one and it works like it should.

one more thing, how do you make bridges from one island to another?

Developer

Nope I need the output_log.txt contents. The level file will be too big to post here.

Bridges are built like walls but you'll need to explore the water first with a canoe and paddle.

Dear Developer,

Please help me the game is crashing, what should I do?

I suggest that if you have a recent save file that you made the last time that the game ran before it started crashing, load that save file.  Hopefully that save does not include whatever happened in the later game that caused it to crash, such as a huge amount of new objects (like a huge tower of harvested items).  Loading the save file that doesn't have too many objects or some other problem will probably let the game run without crashing.

If you think that you don't have a good save file, look in the "Autosaves" folder below your "Autonauts" folder, which contains the files that are automatically created whenever you see the piggy-bank appear in the bottom-right corner while the game is running.  Find the most recent Autosave file created before you started the game that crashed and load that file.  Below is an image of a typical "Autosaves" folder which should be named something like "C:\Users\Owner\Documents\yourname\Autonauts\Autosaves".

do you want me to send you this file

You do not need to send your save file to me.  Instead, start Autonauts and once it shows you the Farmer-Player, press the "Esc" key to bring up the menu.  Click on the "Load" option.

A window will open labeled “LOAD FILE”.  Change the folder to the one that contains your Save files.  Click on the file name that you want to load so that its name is shown in the “FILE NAME:” field.  Click on the “Open” button. A window will open labeled “Load Game?”  Click on the “Yes” button to load the file. Your save file will be loaded and you should now be able to play Autonauts as it had been before whatever changed had happened that caused you game to crash before.  Good luck.

Yeah, my game keeps on crashing, but i don't know why it does. I've installed  your newest windows version (32 bit) and I can only hear the sounds of clicking the area (can't see anything). My game crashes 5 seconds after it's started up and i really want to play this game.

Developer

OK can you send me a file called Autonauts_Data/output_log.txt please and I'll see if there's any information for me. Thanks

never mind. It's working fantastically now! :D
