Celeste

If you're unable to launch Celeste on Windows, please try the following: Make sure you have XNA Redistributable 4.0 installed (you can also download it from itch.io by selecting itch-redists-xna-4.0.zip from the list) Make sure you have .NET Framework 4.5 installed Make sure the game is being run from a location that has Read/Write File access. (ex. if you unzip it in Program Files or something, it may not be able to write save data, error logs, etc). Make sure the Folder Structure looks like this (ie. keep Celeste.exe and its Content folder together!) ~/MyPath/Celeste/Content ~/MyPath/Celeste/Celeste.exe If it still doesn't launch, try the OpenGL Windows Version instead If neither versions of the game run, check to see if there is an "error_log.txt" in the game directory, beside Celeste.exe, and post it here.

that's what happen when I try to launch celeste for some reason I tried uninstalling and no difference

System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load DLL 'CSteamworks': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)

I have already tried everything that is said here in the "Help info" thread, yet Celeste does not open. My error log is in Portuguese since I'm a Brazillian and my notebook does not allow me to configure a different exhibition language (apparently my version of Windows 11 Home just doesn't support it?) but the error message is consistently this one:

System.DllNotFoundException: Não é possível carregar a DLL 'CSteamworks': Não foi possível encontrar o módulo especificado. (Exceção de HRESULT: 0x8007007E)    em Steamworks.NativeMethods.SteamAPI_RestartAppIfNecessary(AppId_t unOwnAppID)    em Celeste.Celeste.Main(String[] args)

In other words, "cannot load the DLL 'CSteamworks': it wasn't possible to find the specified module". The exception code is 0x8007007E.

I have checked the items 1 through 4 from the Help Info Thread, but idk what the openGL windows version of the game (or whatever it even refers to) would be.

Hi! this is my first time trying to run a game ive downloaded other than minecraft (which my dad downloaded about 10 years ago now.) Ive extracted the folder and run the exe file.. but it opens the game and all i can see is the title page? or the logo? It plays some music and nothing happens when i click the screen or press enter... am I missing a step?

Noel2 years ago

When no controller is plugged in, the C keyboard key is the confirmation key to progress through menus.

Jessisacat2 years ago

Thankyou!!!

mpswaim2 years ago

That's really important! It should probably be on the title screen. Otherwise, it looks like the game's locked up, and just playing calming music.

Noel2 years ago

Yes, it's something we'd like to patch in the future!

bandkidsrule1 year ago

this is exactly what happened to me, and this is exactly what I thought! just locked up and playing calm music-- i had no idea what i was doing wrong. luckily i found this reply! thank you so much!!
