  • Game stuck on "Loading block textures" before main menu

    • Version: 1.0

     

     

    Summary:

    After starting the game, the game scrolls some lines up there and some loading statuses, then gets stuck here. The console is still usable.

    At least 3 people complained about exactly the same step to be stuck in. Most have Windows 7 (on which you have to turn EAC off), another doesn't, but has EAC off. Also some more just mention stuck at loading or "same".
     

    Game Version: V1.0 b309

    OS/Version: Windows 7

    CPU Model: Intel I7 4820K

    System Memory: 32 GB quad channel

    GPU Model and VRAM: (nVidia GTX 1070 8 GB)

    Screen Resolution: 1920x1080

    Video Settings: medium, high or custom, might also have enforced 40 or 20 fps from the driver if the game doesn't have the option.

    Game mode: (MP host / MP client / SP / Client on Dedi, RWG or NAV)

     

    Did you wipe old saves? Yes

     

    Did you start a new game? Can't Reach that far

     

    Did you validate your files? Yes

     

    Are you using any mods? No, never did

    Detailed steps to reproduce the bug:

    1) Launch game, wait

     

    Actual result: Console visible, still reacts, loading stuck at "Loading block textures"

    Last file access seen by scanning tools is in the save folder - and while stuck, it regularly keeps accessing a single network xml in there.

     

    Expected result: Main menu should appear

    Someone at least got into the game by removing controller references from game scripts with remaining controller errors. In my pastebin, there's a controller ext dll null reference error.

     

    One got rid of the problem by disconnecting the controller, however, others, inlucing me, don't have it plugged in (I don't use it for this game).

     

    By now, about 30 people in the Steam forums reported the bug, too. While a large number have Windows 7, it's also Windows 11 and others.

    There is also a stuck at loading bug which stops at loading particles, however, this also has the controller dll error in the console window, so it seems to be the same.

    This always happens by the way, not randomly.

    Just a note. Windows 7 is not supported.

    Win7 support is still declared by the developers on the steam page.
    I have exactly the same problem. For the sake of experiment, i changed the code by removing the controller calls and as a result the game started. The current error is related to incorrect controller support and not to the operating system. The driver version also does not matter in a particular situation.

    Experienced modders will probably be able to release a patch to solve this problem, but something tells me that the developers should do it themselves. Just fix the problem, it is done quite easily, and do not look for excuses.

    So you removed Windows 7 from the storage page just now.

    Even after removing it, by EU law you are at least obligated to keep offering a working game version download in the future for all who purchased it beforehand, for as long as your company exists, remember that. No matter what any further agreement would mention, as here, everything shown on the product page on purchase time is a requirement for the seller, also when selling from outside the EU, invalidating further EULAs and contracts. Having to update it may also be a law, but I haven't studied the laws about the specifics.

     

    (and a reminder to avoid misunderstandings by people flying over it: this bug is not unique to Windows 7)

    Working game downloads are available back to what, Alpha 8.8?  That is planned to continue.  So you are completely free to play on any of the versions that still supported Windows 7.  TFP has planned to make those always available to the people who purchased the game in EA.

    Well done, that's exactly the answer we expected from you.
