Getting a black screen on startup, or the game won't run properly? Try these steps!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. [Windows only] Download Delete_RimWorld_Registry_entries.reg (https://www.dropbox.com/s/tqbezlev9mw324f/Delete_RimWorld_Registry_entries.reg?dl=0) (click the download button on the right side of the Dropbox page). Then double-click the file to delete all registry entries related to RimWorld.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
2.
Reset RimWorld's configuration data by deleting all the RimWorld configuration files. You'll find them in one of the following folders (depending on your operating system):
| Windows | C:/Users/[username]/AppData/LocalLow/Ludeon Studios/RimWorld/Config
C:/Users/[username]/AppData/LocalLow/Ludeon Studios/RimWorld by Ludeon Studios/Config
Note 1: the AppData folder may be hidden.
Note 2: the RimWorld folder within LocalLow may differ for various users, see this thread (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=34758.0)
| • Paste this into a Run Window on Windows 10: %userprofile%/appdata/LocalLow/Ludeon Studios/RimWorld by Ludeon Studios/Config |
|
| Mac | Users/[username]/library/Application Support/Ludeon Studios/RimWorld/Config
Users/[username]/library/Caches/RimWorld/Config |
| Linux | /home/[username]/.config/unity3d/Ludeon Studios/RimWorld/Config |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
3.
Force re-install. Sometimes Steam screws up updates. You need to delete the folders manually (not using the Steam interface).
-If you're on Steam:
A: Shut down Steam.
B: Delete this folder: Steam\SteamApps\common\RimWorld
C: Delete this folder: Steam\SteamApps\workshop\content\294100
D: Open Steam, Install RimWorld, and play.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Try running the game EXE directly from its install folder instead of through Steam.
5. Disable virus protection programs (they occasionally flag RimWorld as a virus and kill it, since it was downloaded from the Internet).
6. [Mac DRM-free only] Re-extract the game with the default .zip extractor program. Other programs often extract the files with heavy permission restrictions, which prevents the game from running. (if you know how, you can also chmod 644 the whole install folder).
7. [DRM-free only] Make sure you didn't install the game on a path with special characters, like #, $ or accented letters. Try installing in C:/RimWorld or another simple directory.
8. [Linux only, glibc 2.25] It seems that glibc again has broken compatibility with several software packages including Unity. See how to fix that problem here: https://ctrl.blog/entry/glibc225-unity-black-screen
Thanks goes to kallisti5 (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=4805.msg340610#msg340610) for the tip!
9. [Linux only] Run the game with "-force-opengl". This seems to make it run on OpenGL 2.0+ (Seems to work without it on OpenGL 3.2+)
10. [Linux only] Run the game (prefixed) with "LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1" to force software rendering. It will be poor and performance and not ideal, but may run where the game doesn't otherwise.
11. Install on another drive (this has worked for users who were having issues on Steam).
12. If you have Hamachi installed, disable it's virtual network adapter or uninstall Hamachi.
13. (Windows 11/10/8/8.1 only) Try restarting your computer with the Restart button, rather than the Shutdown button in the Start Menu.
- For those wondering, these versions of Windows don't actually shut down all running services when doing a shutdown. A restart however, does.
14. You may need to reinstall your graphics card drivers. We recommend downloading the latest graphics card drivers from your computer manufacturers website.
15. If you are using AMD graphics hardware and are getting a small window with the RimWorld logo and an exclamation mark, you'll need to update your graphics card drivers as this is caused by out-of-date drivers. If no new drivers are available, you may need to upgrade your graphics hardware.
16. If you are getting an error message about the Steam API, completely reinstalling Steam and RimWorld usually fixes this issue.
17. [DRM-free only] Make sure the DLC files are updated for the same version of the game. We recommend downloading fresh copies of the DLC when downloading an update for the game.
17a. If you have run out of downloads, or are running low, send an email to support (
[email protected] (
[email protected])) and we'll reset your download counter.
18. If you are getting this error: UnityPlayer.dll caused an Access Violation (0xc0000005) (This fix was submitted by a player. Please email support (
[email protected])if this fix works for you.)
a) Locate the game .exe file and right-click on it, then left-click on Properties.
b) Go to the compatibility tab.
c) Under settings, place a tick next to "Disable fullscreen optimizations" and "Run this program as an administrator"
d) Click on 'Change DPI settings'
e) Place a tick next to "Override DPI scaling behavior. Scaling performed by:" and choose the "Application" option.
If you're using Windows XP, the location you want for Step 3 is here:
C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Local Settings\Application Data\Ludeon Studios\RimWorld\Config
Alternatively, check that you have not accidentally turned your monitor off.
Sorry, couldn't help it :D
For some reason everytime i go back to the config folder the ModsConfig.xml is STILL THERE even though I deleted it. Does anyone know why?
The game regenerates a clean one. If you delete it once there's nothing more to do there.
Hi, I can not get Alpha 6 to run on Windows 8.1
I'm running from C:\Rimworld\
I only use Windows Defender, I've added the Rimworld folder as an exception.
I've tried extracting it with 7Zip just in case there was a problem with the default Windows program.
No dice, please help :(
What do you see when you run it?
Can you please go into the RimWorld folder, into RimWorld###Win_Data, get the output_log file there, zip it, and post it? It will help greatly.
Hello,
I just get a empty black window. I've tried running it as administrator and tried a number of compatibility options.
Please find output file attached

Delete the entire install folder and re-extract to a new clean location. It looks like you extracted the new build over the old one or something, which does not work.
I will try that, what I did was try to reextract the files (using 7zip rather than windows) to the same folder when it didn't work.
But I think my actual problem was that I no longer had a RimWorld532 Folder, i.e. all the files were in C:\Rimworld, Rather than C:\Rimworld\Rimworld532. I didn't know the Rimworld532 folder was essential.
It's working now. thank you for your help.

Please specify these errors more accurately. Did the game ever work for you? Or did Alpha 6 crash on first try?
The game did work. It only crashed when I installed the glitter mod.
EDIT: here's what the screen looks like

That's a problem with the Glitter mod then. Please ask them.
The problem was is that I deleted a mod, and it already saved the info in my save file. So when i disabled it, it crashed, because it didn't load. It was TTM custom events. I recognized some of the things not loading
Hello Ty,
Made a clean install (Win7) and then re download the game. It's crashing.

Unfortunately it looks like you're hitting a rare crash in Unity. I really have no ins to fix this, I can't even get in to read the code. So :(. Email me if you want a refund, or perhaps wait for next build or use another PC. I'm sorry I don't have much more than that.
No way I'll ask a refund ;)
RimWorld are working perfectly on my other computers so it's ok for me.. this is just strange ;)
Thanks for the reply.
Found MY mistake.
Maybe comes in handy for you : didn't installed a sound driver on my MOBO...
Sorry for loosing your time Tynan ;)

Ahh, interesting.
i am getting just a black screen when i instal the game i have tried putting the game in every file i have on my comp the game was working fine with me then after a random crash it just went kaput the game somewhat launches but all i get is a black screen with the games cursor and thats all
I'm pretty confused by the issue I've run into.
All two or three times I've deleted and re-installed the game the same thing happens. The first time I run it it takes a good few seconds to load up, but eventually it starts. The second and third time it runs just fine, booting up as it normally would. It's around the fourth or fifth that things just stop working. No matter what I do, when I try to run RimWorld, either by shortcut or directly out of its folder I get a black screen with my cursor and that's it.
No idea what's going on, and I'd appreciate any help I could get with figuring it out.

Ah boy... well, I guess I'll just go poking around until I can get it going again.
Is the black screen problem fixed in the current update or do you have to fix it your self by following the steps.
Hello again Ty, this is another problem. My game keeps freezing up making it unplayable. (This may be my computer) It just unresponds, but still plays the music. Any help?

If you post the log I can take a look. But I suspect a broader PC problem because nobody else has said this.

Modded, and no error shows up :(
I think so. It only started happening a couple weeks ago... Maybe from mod overload...
Having no joy on my mac, I get a split second of sound as it goes to full screen and then a black screen with just the cursor. I can't find any log files and I've looked in all the places listed, I have to force quit the game. Sounds like I am having the same problem as JasonCD, I've deleted and reinstalled a dozen times, no joy.

There should definitely be log files. Please search any way you can. If there game displays the screen even for a split second there should be a log.
I have the same problem, where I launch the game to only see a black screen and the music playing. It seems like if I click around the black screen, other sounds happen (like I'm clicking a button?).
I'm on a Mac (Mavericks) and just downloaded the latest v7. If you tell me where the logs are on Mac, I'll upload right away.

Oh wow, this worked (simply press cmd+esc to exit fullscreen mode after launch). I initially looked for a file to manually turn off fullscreen mode, thinking that might be the problem, but couldn't find the file.

Thank you, it's working now. Liking the new things
So I when i loaded the game i got a small screen saying rimworld on the top ( looked like a small screen took up about 10%) and the rest of the screen was black. when i clicked it whited out and said that the program was not responding. windows 7. HELP.
So I ran into the black screen issue earlier today and found it odd since the game was working fine hours earlier. The only difference is that I'd added some new mods. So, obviously, it must be their fault. I removed 'em one by one until none were left but the problem persisted, so then I tried clearing my configs, clearing my saves, clearing my world, pretty much everything short of reinstalling.
Still no joy, so I checked the forums here and found the path to the logs. Reading through mine, I found the culprit:
Failed to find active mod Core at D:\Games\Rimworld\RimWorld581Win\Mods\Core
Yep. In my zeal to find the offending mod I'd forgotten that the game content itself is actually in there too. Anyhow, I figure with modding only getting more popular and commonly installed mods getting more numerous this mistake is going to get made more often. It may be worth adding a suggestion to make certain the Core folder is in the Mods directory to the troubleshooting steps in the OP.
I recently installed RimWorld on my mac, but it won't open or start whatsoever. What can I do?
Please need help, i get this then i start game..
[attachment deleted by admin: too old]
HELP! so, I accidentally closed out core, then my screen lost all the buttons. Realizing that this was a mistake I Exited out, and stated it up again. This time, The screen wouldn't move from being black. I've tried to re-download and try again 3 different times, but it is still black. I don't know what do do and id love to play again.

Just spend my last download try (for some reason download link didn't refresh with alpha8 release) and finally got alpha8.
Game runs nicely, new colonies creates perfect, but old saves load just black screen. Checked this thread, deleted all RimWorld old files, delete all config files. But same thing - my previos alpa version saves load only black screen, music and coursor.
It's not a tragedy, but i was dreaming to finish my spaceship and continue my story from forest to frosty tundra.

Old saves (and worlds) are almost never going to work for a new alpha, for future reference. If you have a game you particularly want to finish, you should do so before you download the new alpha.
Alpha game is alpha, as Stuff+ says.

That's not a problem. I'll finish it on my previous version, then i'll try to create similar characters and land in boreal tundra. So, with some imagination i'll try to continue my space-crash adventure. :)

Hello! I have recently purchased RimWorld, and while trying to get to run, I cannot seem to get the window or any indication of the game runnung.

The log looks like it's cut off. Does it really just end like that?
Did you close the game before sending it?
You have to run the game, close it, then post the log.
Its alright now, I have fixed it. My PC did not start up properly, and after a quick restart, everything seems to have fixed itself.

For some reason I think of Mr. Burns. I wonder why.
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but,
Ever since I downloaded the newest alpha, I am unable to load saves. I create a new world, then a colony, then after I play for a while, I save it. Then when I go to play RimWorld again, I am unable to load my save and the game becomes unresponsive and I am forced to close it.
I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it and I have even re-downloaded the files and it still doesn't work.
Is there a way to fix this?
Any help is appreciated.
Hello,
Recently got the game and it was working just fine up until today. Comes up stating that it's crashing today. Tried downloading and reinstalling in a different folder and still no luck. Tried deleting config files to reset and also no luck. Any advice?
[attachment deleted due to age]
Actually I found my problem. Did some driver updates and Microsoft wasn't accepting the digital signature driver for my graphics card. Disabled the check and now it works :)
Whenever i try to start the game, i get the black screen cursor bug, i've tried deleting the config.xml but it has no effect
I know my games modded and nobody can really help with this, But I made a new save yesterday and it worked fine no matter how many times i loaded it up. Now whenever i load it up it's just the sound of rain and a black screen.
i have the same problem as Anco, please help :(

Sounds like you need to reload your mods. If you added new mods, you should remove them as they might require you to start a new world and.or colony for them to work.

I only get a black screen when trying to open Alpha 9 on my MacBookPro Retina. Alpha 8 works fine.
Clearing caches didn’t help, permissions are fine.

Please delete all the game files and then reinstall the game to a clean empty folder.
If that doesn't work, please post the log file here; I'll take a look at it.

Sure. I have done this but I cannot find any logs. Where should they appear? An empty folder gets generated in ~/Library/Application Support/unity.Ludeon Studios.Rimworld There is no trace of a RimWorld folder in ~/Library/Caches...
Game worked fine until the new set-up. Followed all instructions and deleted old version to install new one....nothing...blackscreen.. I've triedthis a few times to the point of only two downloads left, which I don't want to lose. Don't know what to do next? Any advice.
P.S.
Discovered my problem. It's the epykx (?) pack. Doesn't work on Alpha 9. Unfortunately, I have but a single download left. :(

I downloaded the hotfix version and the game runs now. I think it was affected by the language bug somehow: although I’ve always played in English, Alpha 9 has opened in Polish, which is my system language. I wonder why it didn’t pick up the language setting from Alpha 8.

Very glad to hear it works now!
I've noticed that VPN's have been a bit of a problem for a while, but am unsure if it really fits here, as sometimes it stops the game from running and othertimes it causes other problems.
Hi,
(Mac user)
I somehow managed to un-click the "Core" button in "Mods" in the first screen when you get the game up and running. When i delete the game and reinstall it i just get a black screen. I have tried everything to get the game to work again without success. How can I fix it? Please help me... I'm a noob.
Thank you in advance.

Please follow step 3 in the first post in this thread.
I can't get alpha 10c to run. I'm on windows 8.1. I double click and nothing happens. I have tried running in admin mode and nothing. please help
I've started not being able to launch the game today. RW785. Game was running just fine yesterday, had a good colony going, nothing had changed update-wise before the error. Subsequently I have updated my video driver but I believe it was pointless, I had updated recently with GTAV and the driver was dated earlier than that.
I've also tried reinstalling Rimworld from the most recent version (rimworldalpha10fwin) with no success.
When I try to launch I receive a popup that says, "The game crashed. The crash report folder named "XXX" next to the game executable. It would be great if you'd send it to the developer of the game!"
I've attached the four files from the report folder.
Thanks for all your hard work and attention Tynan! I'll look more through this thread and see if I can find any clues, I've already tried the steps you outlined in the first post.
UPDATE: I redownloaded the .rar file and reinstalled it in a clean directory, and it still doesn't work. Oddly, it gives me the same error but does not create the directory and output files as described in this new install.

The log says, "UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path "C:\RimWorld\Mods\Core\Defs\ThingDefs\Buildings_Security.xml" is denied."
So yeah, run the game as administrator or install it in a folder that you're allowed to access.
Tynan i checked the file and it is locked.How can i unlock it?(It has tiny lock on it)

Not sure. This is a general computer use issue, you'll just want to Google solutions to that.
You could also just delete the install and reinstall from your zip file.
Windows 7 64bit and RimWorld834Win.
I get a black screen when starting the executable on a fresh game install. When I download a new Alpha, I always install in a fresh directory, so there are no remains of old versions (other than possibly in the registry).
RimWorld783Win displays the main menu after starting, RimWorld834Win just shows the black screen.
The task manager shows RimWorld834Win.EXE using no processor time and 37 MB of memory, the memory consumption rising slowly but steadily.
The size of the program directory of both versions is about the same (783: 106 MB, 834: 108 MB), so it does not look like an obviously corrupted installation.
I have not installed any mods or otherwise changed the program or data I downloaded from the distribution site.
RimWorld834Win does not get far enough to create the
C:/Users/[username]/AppData/LocalLow/Ludeon Studios
folder. I deleted that folder (after checking that RimWorld783Win started fine) and saw that RimWorld834Win did not create it.
Any idea what I could do, other than wait for the next Alpha? Is there maybe an installation verifyer that spits out the file names with an incorrect checksum or some such?
Thanks a lot for the support - and... awesome game, I love it!
This is the output_log.txt - lots of missing script errors, I will attach the dxdiag.txt (sorry, it is in German, as MS in their infinite wisdom decided to translate system parameters :D ):

Merusalem - "The referenced script on this Behaviour is missing!" indicates something seriously wrong with the game files.
My best suggestion is to try reinstalling.
I don't have a checksum atm, but these should be the exact properties of build 834 right after unzipping:

I can't get my game to work! I've tried downloading several times, but it's always the same every time... nothing. I'm down to two downloads remaining and I haven't even got to opening screen yet! I'm afraid to delete anymore games. I have several files that have red circles with exclamation marks in them, but I thought that just meant they weren't backed up. I don't know, I just know that every time I try to start the game it acts like it's loading for a few seconds then nothing.
The output log seems lacking to say the least, but not sure what I can do or what I'm doing wrong.
I found a more detailed error report, but still can't get game to work... at all.

Sketteck - From the log, it looks like Unity is crashing while trying to set up graphics.
What graphics card do you have? Can you install/update your drivers and try again?
I use an ATI Radeon HD 5570 on this machine. It was up to date on the drivers. I tried to run program again and it crashed again. So annoying. Are you sure I was given a cleared copy of the game? The error.log said "RimWorld857win.exe caused an Access Violation (0xc0000005)". That makes me think that it didn't get my payment, but I can send you verification if you would like.
I may try on another computer, but haven't had issues with games not working on this computer before so would like to resolve it on this one, if I can.
Well here's the stack trace. It runs from bottom to top. You can see that RimWorld is calling D3DCreate9, so it's initializing D3D. Then it calls into the ATI driver files, where it's doing a bunch of OpenAdapter stuff (again, trying to initialize graphics). And it crashes somewhere deep in the drivers at a memory free on MmdDxxCreateDevice.
I've reset your downloads if you want to try a different unzip program or something, but this really really looks like some issue in the drivers.

none of this helped. the game starts black screen. i deleted files and redownloaded but it never let me reinstall i dont know where to do that at. i have windows 64bit. it worked but i downloaded a combatrealism mod and it stopped working right after that. i removed the mod from the files and it still wont work. i just payed money for this and it isnt working wtf, please help.
when i tried to download the files again and use winrar to extract them it opend the files without having to install them, but when i opend the game it went to a black screen.
so i deleted the game files and downloaded them again, used winrar to extract them, i never got the option to install the game, i could just open the game from the files, which brought up the black screen, how do i uninstall and reinstall?
Andrew -
1. Delete all your game files
2. Follow step 3 on this post: https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=4805.0
3. Reinstall by carefully following these instructions https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=7886.0
You can *not* run the game without installing it. You can *not* run the .exe from inside the zip file. You can *not* install the game inside, over top of or alongside an old installation of the game. Delete it all, install all clean in a new empty folder, you should be back where you started.
i cant download the game again from my email link, ive run out of downloads trying to get it to work
i have multiple files of the game in my recycling bin from trying this, but they wont work if i extract them. so i guess i need a new download of the game?
OK, I've reset it for you.
Hello Ty
I have tried step 3, and deleted my game a few times to solve the black screen issue. But this just added a new problem to the mix as I cannot even get the game out of winrar and run it. I don't know what to do at this point, please help.
Here is the message and errors.
[attachment deleted due to age]
Alpha make sure you're actually extracting the files, all together, to an empty folder, before you try to run the game.
If your WinRar itself isn't working, I can't troubleshoot that. I'd suggest trying another zip program.
i need help bad first of all i exidentally paid twice and when the game download thing poped up [the thing that has a download button after every type of computer] i was in a hurry and my internet was not being fast at the time and i pressed it a lot of times on both download links [by the way im using a mac if you needed to know] when the game downloaded it only downloaded one game and i un archived it and when i played it it just had a black screen im so mad now please help
1. Follow the steps in the first post in this thread to solve black screen issues.
2. To reset downloads, email Michael. His email is on the page ludeon.com/support

Follow step 3 in the OP of this thread. That will reset the mod config data and get the game running for you.
So i'm currently having some variation of the black screen issue. It started after I activated my mods in-game, and was forced to force-quit my game. Now, when I attempt to restart the game I get black screen. I've deleted my modsconfig.xml, I've done a fresh download of the game, and deleted all game-related files before extracting the new download to my applications folder (where I kept my game before). Still no luck. I'm fairly sure this is related to the "core" file (perhaps I accidentally disabled it while enabling mods), but i'm unsure how to fix it. I can't edit modsconfig.xml because a new file won't generate (since I unfortunately hastily deleted my previous one). Sorry to bother anyone who can help, but it has been months since i've last played this game and I don't remember much about the installation of mods. Thanks in advance.
Edit: and yes i've tried steps 1-5, though it should be noted that the Mac save file/config data location isn't where the first post says it is, but instead in
~/library/application support/application support/rimworld/config
edit 2: I'm so stupid! Okay so ^ is the old location for save data files, the new location is ~/library/caches/rimworld/config
Problem solved by deleting modsconfig.xml
doesn't work... don't know what to do now
any suggestions?
If you have a seemingly unsolvable black screen, could you post your output_log or Player.log?
I can take a look and determine the exact cause from that.
Thanks and sorry it's not working instantly.

this is the right out_log from my laptop
didt work case it puts the rong out_log when i try to lunch whens something thatll change the out_log i think that might fix it.i guese its just the waiting game
Oke I might be a complete retard here. But I tried using mods after a few hours of playing the vanilla game. I am able to install all the mods and activate them on the home screen. But then when I restart it I get an black screen. I then proceeded to delete ModConfig and the game runs again but without the mods this time. When I try to reactivate the mods and restart I get a black screen again. I am using the Epyk mod pack + Zombie apocalypse and Superior Crafting. (I seen those mods on the forum and on video's and I love them)
Am I just bieng dumb or what?
The Epyk mod pack was for Alpha 8. That just isn't compatible with Alpha 11, sorry.
Watch out for the alpha definitions of the mod. For the actual game (RimWorld877) you need mods that are marked mit a11b , a11c or a11d. A11 MAY also work, but only if there isn't any dll involved, as there was a compatibility problem with dlls in between a and b.
Ah oke Welp thanks then. Is the Epyk pack ever gonna be updated?

edit 2: I'm so stupid! Okay so ^ is the old location for save data files, the new location is ~/library/caches/rimworld/config
Ahh, thanks for this lol. I was searching for the "Ludeon Studios" folder and not finding anything and was getting confused. Deleting the files in there just fixed my problem, I would recommend the original post in this thread updating to the new pathway where the config files are stored.
My game works normally after I followed your steps but when I tried to install a mod called ebd interface I get a black screen on launch??? Any idea what's happing because I love this game thanks
oh i got it working now! sorry i have been afk for a while but i looked it up and i didnt properly uninstall all the files :P so i did that and it works fine! thanks for the help sorry you had to put up with my dumb ass.
Пожалуйста помогите найти modconfig, в системе os X Yosemite 10.10.4?

Getting a black screen on startup, or the game won't run properly? Try these steps!
1. MAC ONLY: Re-extract the game with the default .zip extractor program. Other programs often extract the files with heavy permission restrictions, which prevents the game from running. (if you know how, you can also chmod 644 the whole install folder).
2. Try disabling virus protection programs (they occasionally flag RimWorld as a virus and kill it, since it was downloaded from the Internet).
3. Maybe bad or old config data is screwing with you. Reset your config by deleting the old files. Delete all files in the RimWorld config/save data folder. The folder location is different depending on your operating system:
Windows | C:/Users/[username]/AppData/LocalLow/Ludeon Studios/RimWorld/Config (On Windows, the AppData folder may be hidden.) |
Mac | Users/[username]/library/Application Support/Ludeon Studios/RimWorld/Config
Users/[username]/library/Caches/RimWorld/Config |
Linux | /home/[username]/.config/unity3d/Ludeon Studios/RimWorld/Config |
4. Your RimWorld install itself may be corrupted somehow. Delete the entire RimWorld install folder and re-install the game from a newly downloaded zip file as described in this thread (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=7886.0).
5. Make sure you didn't install the game on a path with special characters, like #, $ or accented letters. Try installing in C:/RimWorld.
6. WINDOWS ONLY: Make sure all available Windows Updates have been downloaded and installed.
Thanks for the support, now my game works again, :D, step 3 worked for me.
I have an intel i5 processor with intergrated hd 4000 (its shit ) and my rim world goes black
I have tried the finding the LowLows folder but its not there (i can find appdata)
8)
Thanks any help???
I'm having problems with using mods. I run a windows 10 laptop and got RimWorld to work on it after a good few minutes, yet whenever i try to apply mods on the options menu, it crashes and wont do anything but sit on the picture, without any buttons or details other than the planet, is there anything I can do other than play vanilla?

Have you tried using different mods, I sometimes have that problem when I use a old mod, Try applying each mod one at a time until you find the one that crashes the game.
Im having the black screen of doom. Tried to run a few mods, program hung up then dumped to a picture of the background with no buttons. Deleted the game folder and installed with out mods and tried running, nothing. Deleted the config files and ran and still nothing
For some reason, my game will not get past the black screen. After messing with mods and somehow breaking the game, I deleted everything and redownloaded the game from the email you first get it in. Now i have nothing but the core game redownloaded but it still wont get past the black screen. What do i do?
UPDATE: i have fixed this. I just missed deleting the config ( i thought i did but i was wrong)
I have hidden files showed and Ive looked throughout my computer and I am unable to find the ludeon appdata file

If you are using Windows 7/8/10, you can find Rimworld local folder with this (replace <username> with your Windows login name):
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\LocalLow\Ludeon Studios\RimWorld
I was playing Rimworld for a couple of hours, and once I had a good colony I decided to try and download mods, like a doof I enabled all of them and returned to the main menu, It then froze and went black, it has been like this for 1 day and I am losing my mind because I cannot find the answer to this B.S
I have the output log, I have tried reinstalling 5 times now and it still keeps going back to the black screen, I have also tried to delete the config file but it seems to be in a different place then what the help guide says it is at, mine is in a "Mono" Folder.
Any help will be appreciated, before I shoot my computer.
[attachment deleted due to age]
Mods can be activated/deactivated with the help of this file:
C:/Users/<username>/AppData/LocalLow/Ludeon Studios/RimWorld/Config/ModsConfig.xml
You might want to edit that file and make sure that
Core is the only one active
Alright I was able to fix it with your help, but I was not sure how to disable the mods so I just deleted all of them accept the core one, it fixed the problem though, thanks a lot.
Glad it helped.
Now you start from a clean position and you can install mods back.
Just make sure to read instructions/incompatibilities given by modders themselves, on their mod pages.
In any case, you will know where to look at, if any more trouble with one of them.
Just copy/paste modsconfig.xml before editing, clean up the real one from mods (keeping Core), then add mods one by one back to the game, is a sort of process for safe activation or debug.
just had this issue for the first time since i got this game and my antivirus told me that Assembly-CSharp.dll,Assembly-CSharp-firstpass.dll,and Assembly-UnityScript-firstpass.dll were not safe and were removed. then looked at my like it wanted a treat for doing a good job >:(, i then proceeded to pimp-slap it and told it to never do that again thought youd want to know. wasnt even for a valid reason just cause its unknown ws.rep coded it and removed it
When i first extract game file on windows 10 it works 1 time. Everytime after first i have a black screen. So I delete the extracted file and re-extract the original downladed folder. And it works only the first time. Always a black screen after. Help.
same issue as winnsanity only im still working it on windows 9 so probably not an issue with windows as much as it is with Alpha 12, I,ve re-downloaded, deleted the config, no mods what so ever.
figured it out i think, norton was removing a program nescessary to run i believe, just have norton restore it, and exclude it from future scans

Ahh, looks like Symantec anti-virus is attacking us based on a rather stupid policy.
https://www.codeandweb.com/blog/2012/06/23/how-symantec-ruins-independent-developers
Solution: Open Symantec and de-quarantine any files from the game. Especially:
[my rimworld directory]\rimworld911win\rimworld911win_data\managed\assembly-csharp-firstpass.dll
I can't believe Norton is still pre-installed on some many of today's computers...
What a crappy piece of preemptive dangerous code : ???
Norton is best when 'NOT ON'.
Thank you so much for posting the reply about Norton. That's exactly what's been happening to me since Alpha 12. Fixed and rim-worlding! 8)
I have a Mac and need to open the zip file without Keka, how do I do this?
I've gone through this entire thread but, haven't found a solution >:(. I've downloaded it and start it (I'm running windows ten is that a problem?) but it just sits despite using processing power does anyone know what is happening?
We are using this on Windows XP. I had a friend's game on my computer for a few days and it worked fine. Then, without changing anything (as far as I can tell) to either the game or my PC, or adding any mods, on startup it would get only a black screen with sound (I can still see and use my cursor on the black screen.) I then purchased my own copy and read this forum. I have now deleted everything - multiple times, and tried everything. I followed Ty's instructions very carefully. Nothing changes. Any suggestions?

The clue is in the "Def-linked translation error" part. The game is trying & failing to load translation text. What language does your PC default to? What happens if you change your PC language to English and reinstall? (We won't leave it that way, don't worry.)
@rampant_robot, drewray, & maybe SuperSpaceGaming:
Did you get your problems solved? I could have sworn I'd responded to your posts a long time ago, but I don't see anything here now. Sorry about that. Please respond if you still need help.
Without Hardcore SK mod, just with core folder in mods, game starts ok.
But with this mod and everything installed, game wont start.
I did same on my computer, but on my second pc it wont even start...
Here are pic and output_log
Edit: just to say that i left it in "not responding" phase and somehow after ~20 min it enter into game. then when i went to mods i had to wait ~3min. After adding one mod to list of selected mods, then i went close and then i had to wait more then 5min... After that i created map , but it wont show biomes,temperature etc. After that i exit game, now i cant enter it again... Even if i waited 20min.

I played RimWorld a while back and wanted to play current version 0.12.914 rev777 but it shows only a black screen.
Tried solutions from first post but nothing helped.
Then i tried Version 0.10.785 rev1116 (saved on google drive) which works.
Windows 10
Any tips?
Rimworld task stays at 1-4% CPU Usage and exact 85,8MB ram usage.
After half a hour nothing changed.
Is there a debug mode?
Specs:
i5-4460
R9 390
16Gb
Ok i tried it on a friends pc and it didnt work too.
He download a new .zip from sendowl and it worked.
I tried the last download and it worked too.
I found one difference old files have 75,1 MB (78.809.336 Bytes) the new one has 75,2 MB (78.876.410 Bytes).
The first 5 downloads had all blackscreen for me.
Weird. That sounds like a corrupted download. One corrupted download is not unusual, but five?
Sounds like you've got a shoddy internet connection, that sounds very lossy
I am having the same problem last night i did a fresh install of windows and have been re installing the essentials downloaded the game from my last email but just getting a black screen i have tried downloading it again thinking it was a corrupted DL but its exactly the same... anyone got any idea why it would all of a sudden be like that?

Over several days?
My location is Germany. Maybe it is something with the rooting to that Download Server.
A ping test to www.sendowl.com today is ok, 0% packet loss.
@Goltec
Can you post the size of the .zip file?
Yeah sure the size of the download each of the 3 times i have tried it has been 75.2mb i know from your post you said you had a smaller one several times then got that size but no change on mine
After running one time and quitting the game, the game does not start, screen stays black and only my mouse cursor is visible. Deleting the files in the app data folder (windows 7), reloading and rerunning fixes. The happens repeatedly. Runs fine once, quit game, won't run, deleted, reload (lather, rinse, repeat....) April 6th, 2016, version build Alpha13win. Never had this problem with other builds.
So, I've tried all above and tried all day to get the new update to work but every time i run it, it doesn't pop up, nothing happens. In my task manager it says its running but there's no window. I'm on 64 bit win 10 OS and have it saves exactly like the "hot how install rimworld" topic says to. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I think we have a bad compiled file. It doesn't run although it appears in the Task manager.

Just got the solution :o
My AVG was running the first time that I tried to play and it has sent the EXE to the vault. Even after I had a clean start with it not running, the game didn't work.
It was not a bad compiled file. It was a bad user ;D
CHECK IF THE FILE IS IN YOUR ANTI-VIRUS ALREADY.
give it the right to run.
Good gamming :)
The game loads up it says loading defs in a horrifically messed up font, then it says initializing interface in an even worse font, and then I get a black screen with only the cursor
EDIT: Ok, I clicked on core under mods, there wasn't any defs, only language, I go into language, I back out of it and defs appear
@Goltec - my RimWorld A13 .zip file is 82.6MB (specifically 86,634,354 bytes) and contains a folder called RimWorld1135Win (the latest build). You've still got a broken download. Download from somewhere else.
@richnsanders - sounds like a permissions issue. I've got Win7 too, never seen this before. Wipe the LocalLow\Ludeon\ folder, run RimWorld, exit, then go check permissions in Windows Explorer. Make sure it's not read only. If it still doesn't work, run it as admin and see if that makes a difference. Admin rights should only be a temporary fix, FYI, and it just means you've got a permissions issue going on. Let me know how it goes.
@c2theanyon - How long do you let it run? It takes longer to load now than it used to. If it's been more than 5min and still hasn't shown up, then I'd suspect either an antivirus problem (whitelist RimWorld - there's no viruses in it) or else a permissions problem (try running as admin). Please post if that helps or not.
@dareddevil7 - Weird. Is it working now, or are your defs still missing?
Downloaded and extracted the game today. Never before played it on this system. It loads and I can see the main menu. I leave everything at default values, choose Create World, then click Generate. I see "Generating world.." and a few minutes later I alt-tab to find a window titled "Oops the game crashed" and some logs have been created. I can repeat this every time. The first post of this thread says to delete old configs and game data but this is the first time I've attempted to run it. Where can I send these logs?
I've tried in windowed mode, full screen, changed the resolution but still it crashes almost immediately. I changed the map size to the smallest and then to the largest but still it crashes.
most recent error.log contains:

**** Crash! ****
"d3d9.dll caused an Access Violation" means your video card driver is crashing. Please consider updating your video card driver.
I just upgraded to the latest driver but it still crashes. On the main menu I have no image of a planet, just a black background. Does it not work in XP maybe? I have a Quadro FX1000.
Works fine on a newer computer, I should mention. If it's just that this is an older computer then don't waste your time trying to figure it out, I'll just use a different computer. I was hoping this was an issue with a known fix but if not that's fine.
That card is 13 years old so I'm not surprised it might have an issue.
Unity supports a lot of cards quite well but, well, there's a limit. And I suspect the drivers aren't really updated much either. So you may need to use a newer machine.
I have to manually type the pathway:
C:/Users/[username]/AppData/LocalLow/Ludeon Studios/
I could not find the folder by clicking. I literally had to type it in. For some reason the properties of this folder were set to show hidden. Once I disabled that, I was able to run the game.
Correct. Windows hides the appdata folder by default. But you should be able to run the game regardless. I'm glad it's working though.
So I've been playing RimWorld under Linux Mint like a command line illiterate monkey since Alpha 3. I extract it into a folder on my desktop, double-click the RimWorldXXXX.x86_64 file, click "make executable and run", and play.
Alpha 14 is the first time this hasn't worked for me. I tried it in bash, and got myself an error that makes no sense to my semi-trained lazy eyes:

This looks to me like it's complaining about multiple monitors (I only have the one 12 year old SXGA VGA LCD, hooked up to DVI with an adapter)... and trying to initialize a gamepad/joystick that I don't have plugged in. If anyone has time during this hectic launch window... help?
I'm no Linux guru, but try disconnecting one screen and see if that works. I'm on Windows, and my crappy PC has an overheating issue when I run RimWorld with both screens on (I suspect it's really a Unity issue). So I wrote a script to turn one off, run RimWorld, and then re-enable the second screen.

What's your screen resolution? What's your System Language? Sometimes those are factors too.

Thanks bundles. Formulating a post for the other thread now.
@loc978
it's the ~/.config/unity3d/Ludeon Studios/Rimworld/prefs file that causes the crash.
just remove the line with the "UnityGraphicsQuality" setting from the file and everything will work fine.
alternatively you can backup your ~/.config/unity3d/Ludeon Studios/Rimworld, delete the Rimworld folder and launch the game , it will generate an empty configuration with a working prefs file that you can put in your original folder but you really have to be allergic to editing a simple text file : )
In my case the directory ~/.config/unity3d/Ludeon Studios/Rimworld is empty. I tried to delete and start again the game but still empty.

i hope it's not something in unity, but there seams to end somewhere in »libmono.so«, but on the other hand KSP(unity 5) works fine .... (always at [0x7f9c39e22772] btw.)

thats fine, mine reports 6 screens but got only 4 monitors. Guess the report ist about the connections you have not the connected ones.
UPDATE: little note since i got a workaround in case the linux version won't start whatsoever. You can play the windows version of rimworld with wine and "winetricks tahoma corefonts" since the fonts used missing otherwise.
Hi,
I have the same problem on debian jessie.
The issue seems to come from the libmono.so included with rimworld. That's why we have this issue either with STEAM or SendOwl version.
As it worked without any problem in A13, I wonder if the libmono.so has been updated in any way?
How libmono.so is build? (so we can try to replace the buggy one)

This way, visitors and raiders don't move and finally die at the edge of the map. Maybe it's not related, but this make the game not so fun.

Hello there,
I bought RimWorld at the 7 alpha version, if I'm not wrong, and I always had great fun playing it. This time, with the steam version, I have some issues. The game initialize and, after few seconds at the menu screen yet, the game crash and stop work. I'm attaching my output_log.txt at this message. It is a little bit strange, the log says that are some errors at the definitions links.
Maybe this is important: I did have the alpha 13 installed. I just deleted the alpha 13 folder and then I instaled the alpha 14 version from steam.
Anyway, thank you for your time and hope for the problem solve!

Running it on Arch Linux,
Getting the above errors, Game shows up as a black box, and then crashes down.
Included in the link the a strace, (it scans /sys! and closes EVERYTHING IT CAN.)

Oh boy, this is working finally!
For others, here is the start_Rimworld.sh file :
#!/bin/bash
#Launcher for the Linux version of RimWorld
# cd into the directory containing this script
SCRIPT=$(readlink -f "$0")
DIR=$(dirname "$SCRIPT")
cd "$DIR"
#Getting game executable name.
GAMEFILE=`ls | egrep x86$`
#Checking if OS is 32 or 64 bits and adjusting the game executable name accordingly.
OSVERSION=`uname -m`
if [[ $OSVERSION == "x86_64" ]]
then GAMEFILE=${GAMEFILE}_64
fi
#Puts the game executable as... executable if not the case.
if [ ! -x $GAMEFILE ]
then chmod +x $GAMEFILE
fi
#If this is a dev version, we want to activate logs.
#if [[ $GAMEFILE == *Dev* ]]
# then LOG="-logfile /tmp/rimworld_log"
# else LOG=""
#fi
#We always want to activate logs
LOG="-logfile /tmp/rimworld_log"
#Locale resetting (important for Ubuntu players who are not native speakers of English) and launching the game.
LC_ALL=C LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 ./$GAMEFILE $LOGEDIT : well, it's very slow indeed, almost unplayable. But it works...
Oh, wow, my post made it. (The site seemed to have gone down as I was trying to do it)
I made a post on the reddit aswell: https://www.reddit.com/r/RimWorld/comments/4til60/black_screen_linux_issuecause_the_website_is_down/
On this google drive link, I do have an strace of both when it works/doesn't, and the GDB-output of when it crashes (The built-in script to get it doesn't seem to work) And a screenshot of comparing where the game crashes in the strace's.
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B85eUDW66FPNWlAtMFE0b0dqYzQ&usp=drive_web
If there is anymore debugging I can do, feel free to ask away.
On the note of LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1, If you run it on a lower resolution it does run faster.
Found, a working (for me), accelerated (not slow), fix.
Run the game with -force-opengl (A unity argument)
Here is a new start-script implementing it:
#!/bin/bash
#Launcher for the Linux version of RimWorld
# cd into the directory containing this script
SCRIPT=$(readlink -f "$0")
DIR=$(dirname "$SCRIPT")
cd "$DIR"
#Getting game executable name.
GAMEFILE=`ls | egrep x86$`
#Checking if OS is 32 or 64 bits and adjusting the game executable name accordingly.
OSVERSION=`uname -m`
if [[ $OSVERSION == "x86_64" ]]
then GAMEFILE=${GAMEFILE}_64
fi
#Puts the game executable as... executable if not the case.
if [ ! -x $GAMEFILE ]
then chmod +x $GAMEFILE

#fi

LOG="-logfile /tmp/rimworld_log"
#Locale resetting (important for Ubuntu players who are not native speakers of English) and launching the game.
LC_ALL=C ./$GAMEFILE $LOG -force-opengl
Note: I was playing with LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1
and MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.1 -- Crashes.
MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.2 -- Works fine.
And reading unity's site: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/OpenGLCoreDetails.html
It seems it requires openGL 3.2... (So only older hardware would be effected)
However, for some reason, "-force-opengl: To use the legacy OpenGL back-end" Works! So Horrah! I can play the game!
Sorry for the 3 posts in the thread, almost in a row, but as this one works well, and contains new info, I didn't want anyone to miss it.
May I say "I love you"?
Thanks a lot!!! :)
EDIT : stupid question : how to add this option in steam?
https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=1040-JWMT-2947
Tl;dr right click it, add lunch options, add options. (Given, if it runs that startup script.. you'll have to modify the startup script)
I cannot verify that though, steam doesn't run for me.
The game just started with a black screen. Removal of the config/save folder didn't help. Also there is no log files so I have no idea whats the deal with the game. I'm on the alpha 14 C

Adding launch option via steam wasn't working, so I modified directly the startup script in ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/RimWorld/start_RimWorld.sh
And... it works now..?
yes! :)

yeah -force-opengl did the trick for me as well, thanks a lot!
still it's odd that you have to "force" opengl since it should be the only mode available on linux ???

Seriously, I have no idea what else it's doing.
Maybe it would be good to put that in the default startup script? Though it seems a little ridiculous to have to do that.
From how it's phrased on the place I found it:
-force-opengl: To use the legacy OpenGL back-end
-force-glcore: To use the new OpenGL back-end. With this argument, Unity will detect all the features the platform support to run with the best OpenGL version possible and all available OpenGL extensions
-force-glcoreXY: XY can be 32, 33, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44 or 45; each number representing a specific version of OpenGL. If the platform doesn't support a specific version of OpenGL, Unity will fallback to a supported version
-force-clamped: Request that Unity doesn't use OpenGL extensions which guarantees that multiple platforms will execute the same code path. This is an approach to test if an issue is platform specific (a driver bug for example).
All of those should work/run on Linux, as GL-core is a mesa/Xorg/dri thing: https://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/GLcore/
For some reason, somewhere, it seems to detect the features wrong... or it might not support pre 3.2 as hinted by the -glcore32 being the lowest value.
I know it helped pk4yahweh's mac which seemed to fall-back to software rendering (My guess is that macOSX can figure out "oh this is doing stuff not supported, to software rendering!") (He was asking if this can be patched into the mac launcher?)
I'm not sure forcing it in every launch is a good idea though... as I guess unity seems to think there is some benefit of using newer functions, and I remember reading somewhere on their site that it does a fall-back to X software stuff when needed.. so running it this way might reduce performance/increase CPU usage.
I would recommend trying to detect this in some way though.. There is the command "glxinfo", which gives loads of information. And going through the strace's I remember seeing a good chunk of it's output.. I think Unity get's it it-self... In which case https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/SystemInfo-graphicsDeviceVersion.html might be useful, so you might be able to relaunch the game from itself with -force-opengl when needed. (OpenGL <3.2)
As for linux/mac scripts: 1 way, is to simply launch the game, and see if it crashes due to that error. (Ideally saving this result aswell so only on the first launch you get the crash..
There is also the command glxinfo, but it's not installed on everything by default, so it'd be a hit and miss.
(If it was scripting, I'd probably try to do a hybrid of both, as glxinfo would be more reliable and less jarring when it's available.. and there may be more methods idk of.)
p.s, I think it'd be a good idea to add $@ at the end of the line where the game in launched so that if someone modifies the steam launch options it'll get passed through to the game.
Edit: (Because my script is demanding and kinda complex, I'll try to do it when I get home)
Edit2: It's done, see two posts below.
Run the game from Steam, screen pops-up all black, screen closes. No log is generated.
Deleted all configuration files, problem persists the same as before.
Edit: Linux user.

Here is a first-version of my script, that attempts to detect when it needs to run the game with -opengl-force.
This should fix it launching with a black screen and immediately crashing with slightly older hardware.

Put it in the directory where start_rimworld.sh is and it should work fine.

Your script works fine for me. If it's working for mac, maybe Tynan could use it till unity gets it right. That said is there a bug report for unity?
I use the opensource "radeon" driver (3.0 Mesa 12.0.1) since the close source driver doesn't work with 4 monitors. (gfx driver are a mess, be it amd or nvidia)
Maybe thats the big difference here why it works for some and some not. Oddly enough i have no problems with starting other unity 5 games.
So I went and bugged the mesa-dri people, and some people on Steam Linux Users Group about -force-opengl vs -force-glcore. In conclusion:
(-force-glcore) : it's probably referring to core vs compatibility profiles which only exsist in opengl 3.1+ (And only got decent till 3.2) Which explains why it needs opengl 3.2+ (https://www.opengl.org/wiki/Core_And_Compatibility_in_Contexts)
and (-force-opengl) : which is Unity's legacy render, which just needs OpenGL 2.0.
They also say that using -force-opengl shouldn't impact performance. (My caution seems unneeded)
And that it is something you can set in unity's player build settings. - which would fix needing any script at all on mac, and the old script would be fine for Linux (although I still suggest adding a $@ at the end of it)

Do you think this is something I should do?
It doesn't sound like it hampers anything at the moment, "it should just be a matter of new features", so you may as well. (I'm thinking it'd just be graphical features, but I may be wrong.) But for a fix, it'll solve the problem.

Well, I'm on board with the forced opengl start. Not sure how to make it work with the steam version, but I've managed to play the DRM-free version without a problem using a cut down script more in keeping with my usual "double-click the executable" tradition (mostly because I can't just double-click the .sh file to run it) :
#!/bin/bash
./RimWorld1238Linux.x86_64 -force-opengl
...in a file simply titled "launch"
*edit* I also keep a version of the file one directory down with "./RimWorldxxxxLinux.x86_64" in there for easy, four keystroke updating.
thank you for that tidbit of unity knowledge, ttoocs
*edit2* feeling quite stupid... of course the steam version just runs ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/RimWorld/start_RimWorld.sh ...so I just applied -force-opengl to the end of that file and it launches from steam like nothing is wrong.
Hello!
Unfortunately for me the game won't run on my computer either, already followed the steps on the frist post to no avail.
I recently got the game on steam , hasn't been able to run it properly even once. When i open the game i get a crash after a few seconds ( i have gotten as far as being able to push the "new colony" button but sometimes it crashes before the menu loads.
Im attaching the log of two of the crashes i have had , the first one is with the game configured in spanish, the second one in english.
I also tryed to force opengl mode "force-opengl" in this case i can get to play but everything is pink
http://pasteboard.co/dUrmImoHZ.png
http://pasteboard.co/1ofeF3qkt.png
Also atttaching the log for this test as -pink
My computer specs are as follows
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3570K CPU @ 3.40GHz
Video Card Gigabyte GV-R797OC-3GD
RAM 16 GB
Operating System Microsoft Windows 10 (build 10586), 64-bit
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game multiple times, trying in 2 different drives. The computer has been rebooted a few times between diferent test
ANything else i could try ?
[attachment deleted by admin - too old]
When it's run with -force-opengl there are 373 instances of "null texture passed to GUI.DrawTexture", which is where the pink would be from.. which is strange.. There is another argument that you _could_ try for blind luck, but no idea if it would work: "-force-d3d11"
On the first crash.txt, it looks like it the Spanish language files are messed up, and then it _might_ be crashing because it can't name things..
My best guess from that is to try to get it to run in English, and see if that helps. (if you're already running it in english... well... I guess it's just kinda corrupted? in which case try the registry fix attached to the first post)
Idk how the windows version logs it-self... but the logs seem cut-off... but that might just be how it's run. I'm test that abit.
Edit: The crash_2.txt looks like it's just initializing it... and then exiting properly. The crash.txt just gets cut off, which I guess is the game crashing.
Sorry, no new ideas as to what to do. (other than the two original ones I had, but idk if they work at all.)

(TL:DR -> +1 for player rebuild)
well in case it really doesn't has any impact on performance it looks like the best thing to do for now. Since you don't have to fiddle around with new scripts.

oh boy, hope amdgpu with CIK will get stable till that happens, otherwise my wine will work overtime ....
@ttoocs thanks for all your work!
So i just bought this game on steam and everytime im trying to start it i get this error (attachment). (Got DirectX 11, my drivers are uptodate, 3D acceleration is active)

Hello!
Thanks for your reply, I tryed running the register cleaner but while i do see that there's supposed to be an attachment in the first post i can't see a download link at all. This happened in multiple computers on multiple networks, since the first post is kind of old i supposed the file was removed since it's not useful anymore :/
Anyone has the file and can attach it again ?
This is what i see in the first post :
http://pasteboard.co/eaWzaPKxF.png
And this is what i see in a more recent post with attachments :
http://pasteboard.co/eaXtl4yp2.png
Edit :
I made an attempt with the "-force-d3d11" command, i got the game to run but again with everything in pink colors again the null texture errors in the logfile.
Final edit! : finally i got it to work, i deleted the game one more time and reinstalled again, i started it again and was greeted with the pink version of the game again, this is because steam remembered the launch options "-force-d3d11" , i removed the launch options and the game crashed again, so i made a final attempt, i changed "-force-d3d11" with "-force-d3d9" and now finally it seems to be playable, no crash so far and i have textures and all!!
Thanks for the help!
Kind regards,

Just got the game on Steam in Windows 10. Starts up to just a black screen with cursor and music every time. Tried suggestions from original post to no avail. Here's the log:
- snip -
Thanks for the log. I don't see any obvious errors there. I don't recognize the last 2 lines, but they don't look like error messages either. Did you have any successful launches of RimWorld yet?
Nope. Tried multiple reinstalls/verify game caches/opt ins to beta version/etc. and nothing. Every time it just goes to black screen with game cursor and music.
I'm not sure if your low Video-RAM may be a problem: 1074 MB
RimWorld has a min requirement of 2GB RAM, but I'm unsure about the requirement for VRAM..
How much memory has your computer? (Free memory, see task manager on the tab ?Power?)
I've tested it on my computer: RimWorld needs over 2GB of active memory (2.5GB and more with mods)
Also, just out of curiosity: Do you have a Anti-Virus program? And if so, which one?
I'm asking because some people had problems running it as it was partly blocked by their Anti-Virus. But your log doesn't suggest anything of that kind, so my idea would be too low free memory..
If you press and hold Alt-Tab, is the miniature RimWorld window all black as well?
I've had occasional instances with running games on a HD4000 laptop where the game will load to a black screen, and I then need to access them via Alt-Tab-cycling in order for the game to display properly (the game will be displayed properly in the miniature Alt-Tab window). Not sure if I've had this problem with RimWorld or not, but I can't say that I haven't either.
I'm getting an issue with the black screen during the "Initializing Interface" phase on Steam startup. Everything runs normally until then.
I've tried multiple re-installs, including wiping my registry keys and files in appdata, and none of it seems to work, even without any mods whatsoever. I've checked in the config and Core is active, so I'm pretty sure it's not that.
What operating system are you on?
Can you post a log file (link in sig)?
I am using Windows 8.1. The log file is too big to fit even on Pastebin...
From the looks of it though, it seems that the game is looking for mod files that are not only not there, but deactivated as well.
Could you post a representative part of the log file? Or just zip it with 7-Zip or something.
And that's really weird. Have you successfully run the game before?
Try deleting all local content, etc (backup your saves first!!) then erase RimWorld too. Then reinstall and try again.
Yeah I just put it up on Mediafire, hope you don't mind. http://www.mediafire.com/download/b1m1wa23sw15hfp/output_log.txt
I've successfully run the game before, both modded and vanilla. Haven't been able to run it with the latest update though.
I've already deleted all local content, even going as far as to remove the registry keys, and reinstalled several times but that doesn't seem to be fixing the issue.
The mod 'Core' is actually RimWorld itself. And it's royally b0rked according to your log file. I have no idea how RimWorld itself gets broken, unless Steam is to blame. This might be another case where Steam Sync causes more harm than good.
Try this:
1. Disable Steam sync
2. Uninstall RimWorld completely (and whatever other file wiping you want to try)
3. Reboot PC
4. Download & install RimWorld
5. Re-test
6. If it works, you can re-enable Steam Sync
Thank you very much, the game appears to be working perfectly fine now.

Any updates, Draycos559?
Sorry for the delay. Memory usage is only at 35% of 8GB while running the game (152.2MB for Rimworld, specifically). I'm just using Windows defender. Game is still black screen even in alt-tab mini viewing mode.
It seems like Win10 doesn't really like DirectX 9 for some reason.
Try Windows Update and see if anything DX-related updates.
Failing that, try this:
http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2756506/directx-games-work-windows.html
EDIT
TLDR = You probably need an updated from MS here:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35&nowin10
I tried multiple things to get the black screen to stop coming up after the few seconds of loading but nothing would work. Then I had realised... Somehow my 'Core' folder had been deleted!! I put core back and that made it completely work again. So as a future notice for other black screeners, if the other things dont work. Update or check your 'Core' is ok

If you are using a laptop (I am assuming this from your log file - Renderer: Intel(R) HD Graphics), then are you using the video drivers supplied by Intel or by your laptop manufacturer?
My Win10 laptop automatically installs the latest Intel H4000 drivers, so I'm wondering if yours is doing the same, and if so, then maybe changing to your laptop manufacturers drivers would work. (That is assuming your manufacturer has reasonably up-to-date drivers, and that Win10 won't just automatically overwrite them with the Intel drivers shortly after).
DirectX updater said I already had current/newer version installed. Couldn't find anything DirectX related in any windows updates either. Not sure where my core folder would be located, but steam has repeatedly verified my game cache so I doubt that's it (dunno if your comment was directed at me). I am on a laptop and unfortunately HP doesn't feel like providing upgraded drivers past whatever operating system your laptop started on, so upgrading drivers is a no go. I think I'm currently using some older drivers installed in compatibility mode or some such nonsense. Still black screen on launch, considering getting a refund at this point.

Having the same issues. nothing is working thru Steam.
@4enzik81, what have you tried so far? What's your operating system?
@Draycos559, when you get the black screen, try pressing Alt+Tab to switch away from RimWorld. Then Alt+Tab again to switch back to RimWorld. It worked for another user. If that doesn't work, try running RimWorld itself in compatibility mode (see https://steamcommunity.com/app/253250/discussions/0/535152511350119421/, but make the changes for RimWorld instead).
Please post success or failure so we can continue to help you & others.
Tried alt-tabbing to no effect. I tried running compatibility mode both as you suggested as well as by using the troubleshoot compatibility option with both Windows 8 and 7 options. None had any effect.
Edit: Thanks to everyone who tried to help. Unfortunately, nothing has worked or improved the situation so I went ahead and submitted a refund request with Steam before my 14 days were up. Hope you're able to help the other guy.
@ Draycos559 - I'm sorry that we were unable to help you resolve the black screen problem. Some technical problems just don't want to be solved it seems :( And thank you for posting again to update us on your situation, as that is very much appreciated.
I am not sure what the Steam policy is regarding buying, refunding, re-buying, then re-funding a second time*, but if you still like the look of the game then maybe consider trying again at some point in the future. As perhaps your black screen issue will resolve itself when there are some new drivers / RimWorld / Unity updates, or if/when you change your computer*. Either way thanks for checking out RimWorld to begin with, and sorry again that we couldn't help you resolve your technical problems.
* - Does Steam's 2 hour playing time / 14 day timer reset? If generally not then is there an exception for when a game does not work due to a technical issue?
So early this morning RimWorld stopped working on my computer. I left it running on my laptop when I brought it over to my friend's place and it had crashed when I reopened it. Every time since then it launches with a black screen and only music plays. I have unsubscribed from all mods, reinstalled, verified files, deleted the files in the steam common folder, deleted the files in the LocalLow folder, restarted, restarted and reinstalled, run as admin, run in compatibility mode, checked drivers (including directx), checked windows for updates, and every combination of these as well as several others. It ran just fine on my computer and in the space of 5-10 minutes went from working to not working no matter what we tried. It did not update nothing changed except it crashing. Every other game runs just fine on my computer and there are no viruses. I've really enjoyed your game so far and hope that some inexplicable bug isn't the end of my ability to play it.
@ sciman123 - Somebody else recently reported pretty much the exact same problem. The game worked fine, then there was some sort of system problem (crash in your case), and then RimWorld loads to a black screen (with music) every time they start the game.
https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=25323.0
Unfortunately that user hasn't (or hasn't yet) posted again with an update on their situation. But as milon said in the thread I linked, this really is very strange, and the only thing I can suggest right now on top of what you did is to check if your video driver recently got (automatically) updated or not, and maybe uninstall the game (and maybe manually delete all related files/folders again like you did) and run a registry cleaning utility. I'll go and poke some of the other moderators to see if they can offer up a possible solution if you get no joy.
ps. I assume you've already tried following all the steps (for Steam users) in the OP of this thread?
pps. The OP has a utility (step #5) to delete all RimWorld registry entries. So it's probably better for you to use that than a registry cleaning utility.
sciman - It would be very good if you'd post your log file! Find it in
Steam\SteamApps\common\RimWorld\RimWorld_Data\output_log.txt
This will help me determine the cause of the problem.
Calahan- I'll try that now.
Tynan- I've put it in the attachment below. Thanks for making such a fun game by the way. My friends and I are addicted.
Edit: For some reason when I attach the file it says nothing when I post or save the post.
Edit2: Of course it works when I edit it to say something is wrong.
[attachment deleted by admin - too old]
Well, the log is totally clean. Not much help there.
Best I can suggest is to follow the steps, being sure to follow 1,2, and 3 diligently.
If you do that you should be able to completely clear out every trace of RimWorld, getting it back to where it was before when it worked properly.
I did step five twice. The first time it didn't work after a clean reinstall. The second time it did. I'm not really sure what to make of that but thank you so much. I'll make sure to save a log and post it here if it happens again.
Joining team Black-screen-of-doom, I get as far as "Loading interface" and then I get to see naught but the white cursor on a black screen, forever.
I have no mods installed. I am on a windows (10) machine and have completed every single step on the first thread of the post. It's a Steam based copy.
I tried waiting out the black screen, but it stayed constant for 4 (tested) hours.
I have no mods subscribed. Core was checked the last time it worked. I even deleted all the saves as a random solution.
All is sadness, I already put 60 hours into this game, but I would like it to actually work.

Hmm. When exactly did this start? Something must have changed if it was working and then stopped working.
Are you sure you completed every step? For example, did you do the whole wipe-all-files-and-registry step, with restarting your PC? Did you install it on another drive?
If so it'd be great if you could post your log file.

I know you're saying you have no mods, but did you at any point have some, then delete them?
I had
precisely this problem the other day, after deleting a bunch of out-of-date mods; It turned out I'd accidentally deleted my Core mod as well. When I restored that, the problem went away.
i really want to play the game but i cant get it to work on windows 10, i did all the steps but still black screen, help?
The game doesn't start after updating OSX to 10.12.1
The only thing I get is a black screen, then it goes into 'Application not responding'. There is no excessive CPU utilization, no network traffic for the process, no excessive RAM consumption. I have the latest RimWorld version (build ID 1314177).
Installed via Steam, tried removing and installing again - to no avail.
Fix ploxx
@WhatsOn: Can you roll back your OS update? I know virtually nothing about OSX, FYI, so I can't offer anything better than stupid ideas like that. :P
@JJRaz: I see it's been over a month now. Any success?
@milon: I cannot rollback the update (nor do I want to, really), although it did work on 10.11, I am therefore sure the update broke the game. Would be really happy to see this fixed, as I am sure more users will update to Sierra as well.
Agreed. Unfortunately I don't know enough about Mac to even begin troubleshooting. :\
I did try googling a bit, and it looks like there were a bunch of Mac graphical issues, but I think those were related to Sierra 10.12 (not 10.12.1). I don't think I can help further, but I'll keep an eye on this just in case.
This is a critical issue, it would be nice to see a bit more effort put into fixing it. It literally makes the game unplayable...
I've opened a bugreport https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=27117.0 (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=27117.0), if You need more information let me know there.
I'm glad you've got it fixed now.
And it seems more like a Steam or an OSX issue than a RimWorld issue, so I doubt Tynan can solve it for you.
Hey guys, every time I'm generating the world I allways get this crash :/

I do have drivers updated and such
Could you upload the full output_log as an attachment?
You could also remove all mods, delete all saves, uninstall, reinstall, and start over. Looks like you've got missing or corrupted file(s).
I did everthing that said but no chance, i still just have a black screen and cant launch the game.
Hi exxe, welcome to the forum! We're more than willing to help you out with that. Please tell us what OS you have (Windows, Mac, Linux) and what RimWorld you have (Steam or DRM-free). Also, see the link in my sig about bug reports & log files - I'd like to see your log file if the game created one.
I have done all of steps game doesn't work. Can I have a version of the game not on steam instead would be great!
I want to get playing so plz get back to me ASAP.
You can only get non-Steam RimWorld from ludeon.com
If you're still in your refund period with Steam, you can return it and purchase RimWorld from Ludeon directly.
If you're beyond the refund period, see my prior post - provide more details and we'll try to help you get it running.
Tynan and Co,
thank you for good game, new-year update and for the support in this thread

Milon,
Yes, in my situation this change fixed the problem.
One russian guy already described such situation for other Unity-based games. I just followed to his advice.

Have you tried Alpha 16 yet? What about the other fixes posted by other users (like changing time zones, etc)?
Hey guys, bought the game tonight on Steam and it's consistently failing to launch. Managed to briefly get the main menu to display two or three times, but it always crashes with the same "Oops![...]" error message within five-ten seconds. Tried everything that was suggested in the thread and then everything else that I could think of, from disabling Steam overlay/file sync, various permutations of compatibility mode/run-as-admin, to uninstalling/running the registry cleaner/rebooting/reinstalling to changing permissions etc. etc. and the results so far have been the same each time. Even tried copying the install folder to the C: drive and running from there, for what good that'd do with a Steam game.
Running on Windows 7 64 bit, Radeon R9 280x, Phenom II X4 B50 with 8GB of RAM.
A .zip archive of my most recent crash folder is attached, if there's anything of use in there.
Edit: Tried A14 and A15 through the Steam betas tab, but no joy.

Thanks for the informative post and the crash report.
Can you run other Steam games successfully?
RimWorld uses Unity for its framework. Can you play other Unity games on your PC?
Are you using the latest drivers for your video card?
Open your Steam Library, right-click RimWorld and go to Properties. In the Launch Options section, set it to "-force-opengl" (no quotes) and try running RimWorld. Does that fix it?

Every other game in my library runs fine. But now that you mention it, I had the (seemingly) same issue with Jalopy - but not with Receiver or Unturned.
I did try "-force-opengl" in my initial efforts to fix things, but beyond displaying an all-pink window before the crash I had no luck. Also updated my drivers and rebooted, but still nothing.
I guess it could just be an issue with my machine and newer builds/versions of Unity, since I never did find a fix for Jalopy after a few days of searching and ended up refunding it. If nothing else I'll keep checking in after each update, and I'll probably install Rimworld on my laptop in the meantime - I think it might just about manage without choking, heh.
Thanks for your time :]
@JJRaz, wow I never would have thought the BIOS would be the culprit. Good find & glad it's fixed!
@Semi, the pink color indicates graphics corruption of some kind. Try running it on another computer (ie. your laptop). Once you get a world up and running (I suggest a small-ish one), save the game, quit, and fire up Steam on your desktop. Steam sync should sync it up with your laptop and you can try again. If it works, hooray! If not, then it's an issue related to the OS/drivers/Unity.

Here is a quote of a suggestion on the pink screen issue posted by a user (mrofa) in another thread.
Quote from: mrofa on December 30, 2016, 09:32:13 AM
Go to:
Appdata/LocalLow/Ludeon Studios/Rimworld
And remove Config directory
This will remove all settings which might be the cause.
On game start default settings will be created.
Pink thingy is that the game cant find a texture for the object so its use the default one.
Hopfully this will help

No idea if it will help solve the issue for you, but it can't hurt to try.
Hi,
I have a big trouble.
When I tried to play via steam the whole screen turns to purple and could not do anything.
However, the sound plays OK
I reinstall the game itself and graphic driver as well.
however it doesn't help. and I followed your suggestion above and the result is same.
Could you please let me know any possible remedy?
My system for your reference is as follows,
i7 7700k, Nvidia GTX 1070, 16 GB mem., Win10 pro.,the graphic driver version is 378.49
Please let me know if you require any further information
It would be much appreciated if you could send back to me an advice email,

Hi again,
I found the reason,
I have installed WiredXDisplay which permit to use Android smart phone as a secondary monitor. I uninstalled this program and it works well.
is it bug of WXD or Rimworld?
[attachment deleted by admin due to age]
Hi SYJ,
It's not a good idea to publicly post your email address - you can get all kinds of spam from web crawling spam bots that way.
Anyway, I'm glad you've got it fixed. The pink color is what RimWorld shows when it is handed invalid graphical data. I suspect WXD altered the format in such a way that RimWorld can't handle it, which would make the problem a WXD problem. (But that's a guess - I don't know for sure.)

Hello,
I've got blackscreen issue too .
I'm running on Windows 10 , i disable G-SYNC but when i start the game, i can see the "initialising interface " then black screen :/
I tried to remove and reinstall it but no way :(
Please help !
Okay so i fixed it !
I just change install it on another drive :)
I'm also having the pink screen issue, game has worked fine for nearly 400 hours and suddenly stopped.
I've tried all of the steps listed on the first page with no success. Only possible thing I can think of is that I updated my drivers when I had some text error in Total War Rome, after this the game stopped loading properly. Not sure if related but after recently re-downloading Skyrim, it also won't launch quoting a display issue.

The pink you're seeing is RimWorld's "Oh no, I don't know what I'm drawing!" panic color. And your graphics shaders aren't working at all. I'm pretty much 100% certain it's related to your recent driver "update". Not all driver updates are actually updates, btw.
However, the next step is to determine what DirectX version is running on your system. If you're not certain how to look that up, run the command 'dxdiag' and the version will show on the main screen that pops up. Get the version for us, and also any relevant warnings/errors you see as you browse through the tabs.

After checking my DirectX and making the connection to the timing of the driver 'update', I was able to solve my issue my reinstalling my graphics drivers, apparently there was a mishap after the 'update'. Thanks for your time, I'm off to check out these new A17 features ;D
Awesome, I'm glad to hear it!
The black screen, always. I can hear the intro music, the mouse pointer becomes customized, but everything black, windowed. Tried delete config files, update drivers... can someone, please help me? Trying to solve this a lot of time.

UPDATE:
Another game made on Unity (Battlerite) give me the same error. Other games (on Unreal Engine and Blizzard games) work fine. May be it will help.
UPDATE 2:
If I exit Steam and launch game directly by binary it works. What additional logs from Steam should I show to solve this problem at all?
UPDATE 3:
Even Windows reinstall can't fix this. Excuse me, but fuck this shit.
First, check to make sure that DirectX is properly installed on your system.
DX9 should only be used as a fallback option on Windows 10, as DX11 should be automatically detected and used by default.

I have DirectX 12 in my dxdiag. MS installer said to me that I have actual version.
I downloaded this game from Steam and cannot run it.
I tried uninstall and re-install for few times, also I tried to use the delete register entry. I think I already block all my virus protector and allow Rim world in windows firewall.
My computer is win 8, 64 bits system. What could I do to run this game?
Thank you

@555, The log file you posted states that your system is actually using DX9 for RimWorld. That means you've got some kind of graphic driver issue. What's your graphics card? A problem like this is often fixed with a newer driver, or (if you're already "up to date") by uninstalling/deleting the graphics driver, rebooting, and letting Windows Update look for a generic replacement.

@redhazor, sorry I didn't get to you sooner. Are you still experiencing this? What version of Windows do you have? What's your graphics card? If you could, also attach the log file (see link in my sig).

@xuekalin, we'll be glad to help you out too. All I know right now is that you have Win 8 and the Steam version of RimWorld and that you "cannot run it". What exactly does that mean? There's a lot of ways a program can break, so the more detail you can give the better help we can provide.
kuwingto's post about the game running every other day was split into it's own thread here:
https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=33392.0
I found the ultimate "Linux black screen at launch" fix... Seems there are bugs in Unity around newer versions of glibc.
A solution is listed here (he even lists RimWorld as impacted)
https://ctrl.blog/entry/glibc225-unity-black-screen
Worked for me after adjusting the path to libjemalloc.so.2
Thanks kallisti5! I really appreciate that!
EDIT - I added your info to the OP. Thanks again!
Hi. As soon as I launch "InitializingInterface" briefly flashes and the game blackscreens.

Windows 10, using steam download. previous versions worked 1 yr ago
@ erjo5055 ^ - Have you tried:
1 - Simply restarting the game and/or rebooting your computer? A lot of those errors seem to be from the game using a config file from an old version (A16 v1393) and throwing errors because it doesn't recognise all the new terms for stuff introduced since then. IIUC the game should update this config file each game launch so if you restart/reboot the errors should, in theory, be gone (as the config file is no longer out of date).
2 - Following the steps to perform a clean reinstall as outlined in the OP of this thread. Try #1 above first as that's easiest, but if that fails then try #2.
If neither of these help then please can you post your full log file (as an attachment) from after you've performed a clean reinstall and attempted to start a new vanilla game (I'm not sure if you are intending to use any mods but if so please wait until the game is working before doing so).
If you do need assistance, please also tell us what version of Windows you're running.
Hi, I need to tell you that with Chinese Tencent QQ running (process name is qqprotect.exe) , the game won't start. Can you fix it?

That qqprotect.exe program has been known to cause issues for RimWorld. So simply disable it when running RimWorld
If you are asking if this
can be fixed, then the likely answer is don't know/maybe. If you are asking if this
will it be fixed, then the likely answer is no (unless it's a trivial fix, and even then likely no as it still takes time). All IMO (This is not a quote or message from the developers, and should in no way be taken as one).
If every developer had to account for, and fix, every clash with every other piece of software, then I doubt anything would ever get done. So unless Software A is somehow necessary for Software B to run, then it's far more sensible, and logical, to just not use both pieces of software at the same time. (ie. the common sense solution).
Hey guys, Windows 7, AMD R9 290, I'm struggling with this black screen issue as well. When I load the game it shows the main menu art, and when the box says 'initilizing interface...' it goes black. Here's what I've tried so far;
System Restart
Verify game files
Delete config and other files + verify + system restart
Reinstall
Clean Reinstall
Clean Reinstall on External Drive
Different graphics software from current, beta current, older, far older (2 years). Some of these gave me a pink screen, others gave me the same initizliation then black screen.
I've updated net, and directx, I've also tried reinstalling both.
I've tried forcing d3d9 and d3d11
/e Since posting I've also tried a clean reinstall without steam cloud sync and such turned on but it didn't work.
/e2 I couldn't find a legit way to test an older version as I have a steam copy, but upon peer sharing an a16 version of rimworld, the a16 version was able to run on my computer. Perhaps my issue is with steam? Regardless, I'm not starting the a16 versions campaign as I'd like all the newest content and updates that come with owning the game.
/e3 I've since found the beta options for other versions of the game. A15/A16 do not work for me through steam.
Any help would be great! I've attached my output log.

Interesting. Sounds like a Steam issue. A clean reinstall "should" have fixed that.
Are you running any mods? Did you run mods before the game broke?
That's a crazy log file. It looks like the game can't find any of its normal Thing definitions (or something like that). I notice it's using DX9. Was this when you were trying to force DX9? What OS are you running?

Yeah I accidentally gave you the log from my dx9 force attempt. I could get you the regular one when I'm home. That's what I'm thinking too, some steam issue. I've had all my mods unsubscribed and deleted since my first restart. I'm running Windows 7. I haven't played the game in a couple years, saw all the new stuff and was pumped to give it another go!
Try a Steam clean install this way:
1. Turn off Steam Sync for RimWorld
2. Uninstall RimWorld
3. Manually go into your Steamapps\ folder and make sure the RimWorld folder is deleted
4. Restart your computer
5. Install RimWorld and cross your fingers
I can't find the exact "clean install" steps right now, so this may be very similar, but I think it's different enough that it's worth a shot.
Don't worry about the log file unless the above doesn't work.

Unfortunately I've tried the 'steam clean reinstall' steps multiple times, even installing on a different drive. I'll get you the regular output log without dx9 forced.
/e Also, I do have this problem whether steam is open or not.
Here's my regular output log! I noticed it still says d3d9. My DXDIAG say I've got D11 installed though.
/e I just saw that you weren't asking me to clean install again, but to install in your specific way. I will most certainly try those steps exactly. Be back with the update soon.
/e2 I followed the steps you provided, and am still faced with the black screen issue after initilization. I've attached this log
[attachment deleted by admin due to age]
Aha! I've found something. Upon clean steam reinstalling the 16a steam beta version I got past the black screen, and was shown a new error. But I could see the art still. It might also explain the v17 black screen issue.
When I first started looking for resolutions to this problem people recomended the uninstal + delete steamapp files + delete appdata files. I could never find the appdata files and didnt think anything of it. But maybe I'm missing them, or the game can't access them. Check out the screenshot I took of the ingame error. I've linked this steam 16 beta attempts output log too. It looks much nicer!
/e I've tried running steam, and rimworld in adminstrator but still get the same error.
[attachment deleted by admin due to age]
Oh, good find!
AppData is a hidden folder, so it's not easy to find. The easiest way is to open File Explorer and type the following into the address bar:
%AppData%
When you hit enter, you'll be inside the hidden folder. You'll need to follow down a branch or two to find Ludeon (I forget if it's in Local Low or Roaming) and you can wipe it from there.
About the DirectX thing - if you've got higher than 9, but RimWorld only uses DX9, then you may have an old graphics driver. It's used as a fallback in case a newer version can't initialize.
I checked and I do have the most current recommended drivers from my gpu. Thats how I've previously checked appdata info, but when I do that I can't find any pertaining to Ludeon or Rimworld. It's not in Roaming with my other games, nor is it in 'LocalLow' the only folder in there is 'Microsoft' and within that is nonsense.
Also, my concern here is that the game needs to access this folder to save something, and can't. Isn't that what the screenshot error says? Maybe the permissions are messed up on my computer?
The %APPDATA% path variable usually leads directly to:
%USERPROFILE%/AppData\roaming
Whereas the Ludeon Studios folder (on my computer at least) is lcoated in:
%USERPROFILE%/AppData\LocalLow
(The AppData variable tends to change behaviour from OS to OS. Different locations in XP, Vista/7, and 10 IIRC.)
Thanks nccvoyager! I was at work when I posted that and couldn't confirm it.
Slashdiablo, about the screenshot - sorry I didn't notice that before. It *is* showing the correct path and stating that access to it it's denied. That may be a permissions issue, or else another process is using the file. Any idea if another program was using it? Do you know how to investigate & correct permissions?

I unfortunately don't know how to investiage and correct permisions. I had all my other programs turned off as well. I understand where the Ludeon file should be found in %appdata% then clicking back to locallow.
The other problem for me is, my locallow folder literally has nothing in it other than something labled 'microsoft' which has many unhelpful files in it. I have all the file types unhidden, theres just nothing about rimworld or any other game there! Am I being denied access? I am the only user on my computer. I'm NOT looking under %appdata% roaming, I am looking under %appdata% local low and NOTHING is there! Can I get whats needed and place it there?
/e when using the path variable %USERPROFILE%/AppData\LocalLow it also brings me to the same locallow folder with only one folder in it labled 'microsoft'.
/e2 I also tried to path to the windows explorer file %USERPROFILE%/AppData\LocalLow\LudeonStudios but my computer gave me an error saying that file didn't exist. Is it possible the access denied error is the being triggered because the file simply doesn't exist?
Just a note that the folder is "Ludeon Studios" and not "LudeonStudios" as per your post.
For the moment, is the account you are using the "Administrator" account, an "administrator" account, or a "user" account?
Additionally, if you are using a "user" account, do you have access to an "administrator" account?
(It has been a while admittedly, but IIRC, the "Administrator" account is most easily acquired as it is the default account created in most Windows iterations from Win98 through 7. If you do not choose to "create an account" during the OS setup, then you would usually automatically be logged into the "Administrator" account. Slightly different default permissions, though still not as powerful as the system or technician accounts which are usually completely inaccessible.)

When I path to %USERPROFILE%/AppData\LocalLow\Ludeon Studios with the space it takes me to an empty folder with that path name. Not sure what I could do from there, why its empty, or why I couldn't see it otherwise.
When looking at user accounts in the control panel, my account is labled as 'administrator'. I'm not sure if it's 'The Administrator', but it is the only account on my computer other than guest which is turned off.
/e Is there a way someone here could send me the ludeon studious folder? Or are you guys thinking I have it and just can't access it?
Unfortunately, the "Ludeon Studios" folder, as well as the subfolders and files within, are need to be accessible for read/write by RimWorld in order for RimWorld to function properly, so simply creating the files or using a set from another computer may not work properly or at all.
The fact that manually navigating there worked and didn't give you an error around "windows cannot find the path specified" means that the folder exists, though you could not see it or the files within.
Normally, the subfolders of the "AppData" folder are not hidden unless some changes have been made to the folder structure, but...
Just to make sure, in your "Folder Options" "View" tab, "Show hidden files, folders, and drives" is selected, yes?
(You can access the "Folder Options" prompt by typing "Folder Options" into the "Search" bar in the start menu in Windows Vista and newer.)
I'm hoping that the folders are actually there and accessible, and that something else is the problem.
Mainly because beyond this, we start getting into more complex, and terrifying, territory regarding permissions, file ownership, and corrupt directory lists.
(That last one is extremely unlikely, admittedly.)
Huh, alright thanks for this help nccvoyager, hopefuly we are getting somewhere! When I go to the properties for the Ludeon Studios folder, I can uncheck hidden. This showed me the folder and its contents. I also have set up the "show hidden files" option you described.
/e MWAHAHAHAHHAHA I done did it! The error is gone. I had to uncheck the "read only" option which was applied to the ludeon studios folder. Now the game can access and write to it!
SO i've got the 'beta version 16a' running with full functionality on steam. I will now uninstall v16, and attempt to reinstall the generic version of rimworld on steam (v17). I'll update here if it works!
/E2 BOOM BABY IT WORKKSSSSS v17 UP N' RUNNIN!
/e3 If you, or anyone you run into recieves the black screen immedietly after an 'initilization' window, and you've tried everything else, try this; Go into the folder %appdata%/LocalLow\Ludeon Studios and uncheck the 'read only' box. This fixed the issue for me.
Well, glad that it worked.
Strange that the folder was set as read-only, but at least you figured that out.
Enjoy the digital suffering! :D
Cant get the Game running (tried every step) Playing on steam.
The game is started but i cant see any menu or something. Just the Music from the menu...
Anyone could help?
@ Shakur86 - Can you please confirm that you have tried performing a clean reinstall as per the step by step instructions in the OP of this thread.
If the game is still giving you a black screen then, if using Windows, please can you check that the following folder is not marked to read only (if it is then please uncheck the "Read-only" option under the right-click folder properties menu).
c:\users\[username]\AppData\LocalLow\Ludeon Studios
Please note that the AppData folder is usually hidden so you will need to enable the option to view hidden items / hidden files and folders.
If none of the above works then please can you post your log file (as an attachment). Details on where to find it can be found here: https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=513.0 . Along with stating what Operating System you are using, as well as confirming that your O/S and graphic drivers are fully up-to-date.

Thank you for the log file. A few more questions:
1 - Are you using a laptop or desktop computer? (I assume desktop based on your GPU, but asking for confirmation just to make sure)
2 - Are you playing the game in fullscreen or windowed mode?
2a - If fullscreen, do you use alt-tab to switch between active windows, and/or use the Windows key to switch to the desktop?
2b - If fullscreen, try starting the game in windowed mode. (you can force it to run in a borderless window by adding a command line switch, -popupwindow . So edit/create the desktop shortcut and add -popupwindow to the end of the target address so that it ends ... RimWorld1557Win.exe -popupwindow. I think you can add command line switches directly through Steam, details here: https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=26517.msg268395#msg268395)
2c - Try forcing the game to run in exclusive fullscreen by adding a -window-mode exclusive switch. (so same as above but replace -popupwindow with -window-mode exclusive). More details and links here: https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=34607.0
3 - Has the current version (A17b) worked for you at all? Or was it working before and is only now giving you a black screen? (and if A17b has never worked for you, has any previous version worked for you? And if so which one?).
4 - Can you please check that the Nvidia Share option is not enabled (as this has been known to cause errors with RimWorld). Details on how to check/disable it are as follows:(these steps are taken from the following Steam post: https://steamcommunity.com/app/221380/discussions/2/348292957936027015/#c348293161792228704 )
1 - Open Geforce Experience app
2 - Click on Settings icon on the top right
3 - Disable the share setting
5 - Can you please check your power management settings for both your computer and GPU, and check that everything is set to maximum power or maximum performance.
6 - Are you using more than one monitor?
Basically, this HandleD3DDeviceLost log error is a problem with Unity, which based on a Google search, seems to have existed since ~2012. It can apparently be triggered by a number of things, such as the game window losing focus (ie. alt-tabbing), or power management settings placing the GPU on standby. Two previous users have reported it causing a black screen issue before, but unfortunately one of them was never able to solve this problem, while the other never reported back with a final update as to whether they solved this problem or not (and if so, how).

Other options include trying other various switches to force the game to run in certain ways, such as -force-d3d11 and -force-opengl . Also try updating your DirectX (Windows7 64bit should be DirectX11 IIRC). There is a lot of info and various possible solution given in the first inked thread just above.
It might also be worth you trying an older graphics driver as sometimes this error can (for whatever reason) be triggered by a newer one. Especially try this if A17b was working for you previously.

1. Im playing on a desktop Computer.
2. Tried Fullscreen and Windowed
3. I played the game on ver 16 i guess
4. Its disabled cause it lowers FPS in some other games.
5. Everything is to Maximum Power
6. Im playing just at one Monitor
Im trying the launch options now.
Edit1: With "-force-opengl" Im getting a Pink Window
Edit2: Same with "-force-d3d11"
Edit3: No difference between fullscreen or windowed
Edit4: I got it to work again! Its so simple...
Open NVIDIA control panel, go to 3D Settings and hit "Let the 3D-Application decide"
Should work then again!
@ Shakur86 - Great to hear you got the game working again. Given that the game worked for you before (with A16) then it was likely going to be something like a driver, hardware, or a setting change that had occurred since then that was preventing it working this time.
And it's really appreciated that took the time to (edit your) post again with an update, and to share how you resolved this issue. I can't recall seeing anything regarding a "HandleD3DDeviceLost" issue being resolved this way before, but I'll certainly make a note of it for the future! So thanks in advance for those users you might be helping further down the road.
I found that after I got to the last page of mods on steam, then go to the libarary and then back to workshop i still had a bunch of mods subscriged. So once is not enough I infact had to repeat this a number of times before steam just said no more mods.. in fact steam queued me in that they were still there, when I did a clean download of Rimworld it also did a workshop download and put back many of the ones I just unsub'd too.. so be sure to check workshop once you redown load the game, dont' just blindly restart it!
Just ran into this problem. I was developing a new mod and I had in my About folder an empty PublishedFileId.txt - ie the file was there but no text in it. (that file is used to tag a steam game mod)
As soon as the game would open and start to load the screen would go black. Deleting the txt file solved the issue.
I have tried all the steps listed above and when I try to launch RimWorld Beta 18 from steam the icon for RimWorld shows on my task bar but the game does not appear. If I hover over the icon, the thumbnail shows is a black thin line. It was working yesterday. I had been putting off the most recent Windows 10 update and finally decided to install it this morning. I have attached the output log, if that will help anyone try to figure out why I am not able to load the game. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
I keep getting a black screen where I can hear the sounds of the game, but the game essentially freezes and I have to shut down my computer and restart it.

Did you update Windows recently? As a bunch of people have been having black screen issues after the recent Windows 10 update.

I just got the windows update and I am having the same problem, but I can't figure out how to fix it. I don't have the Intel Graphics Control Panel that these threads mention, or if I do I can't figure out how to open it.
For those having issues with the latest update of windows, does your Start button stop working?
I was having black screen issues in multiple games and my start menu, when clicked or keyboard windows key, would not pop up. After much digging i found this fix which worked for me:
windows key + r will cause "Run" to open. Type "regedit" and after administrator confirmation regedit will open. On the left navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > Explorer > Advance
With "Advance" selected, right click in the right pane and select "New > DWORD (32-bit) value".
A new item will appear and the name can be edited. Name it EnableXamlStartMenu
Exit regedit and restart the computer. It fixed both my start menu and my black screen issues.
Word of warning. regedit is a powerful tool. Changing anything other than what I listed above could have terrible results (like breaking Windows). Use at your own risk

Search for EnableXamlStartMenu to find the post
Edit: If it helps with tracking hardware setups/reported problems i have a Ryzen 5 1600 CPU and AMD rx480 GPU. Windows 10 Home.
My W10 laptop just pushed the update and broke RimWorld. It started opening as a thin line that isn't visible, but I hovered over the box and right-clicked the top edge and clicked "maximize". Now I can sometimes get the screen to show but it is all black and won't do anything but play the theme music.
I uninstalled and reinstalled twice and used Steam's client to verify the game files.
I've run Risk of Rain since the update with no issues, but that game is DRM-free vs. RimWorld on Steam.
Edit: I have no issue with my start button or start menu.
Edit: I can use Shift+Tab to access Steam in-game, but nothing else.

@ Kiame - Thanks for posting that info about the additional options available for resolving the problems the recent Windows 10 update is causing some users.
@ lostlilkat - Glad you were able to solve your problem, and additional thanks for posting the link to the info that allowed you to solve it.
Hi folks,
I am trying to run the latest update, 18beta on my ubuntu 14.04
17b was working using a script i patched together from suggestions in this topic
[pre]#!/bin/bash
#Launcher for the Linux version of RimWorld
# cd into the directory containing this script
SCRIPT=$(readlink -f "$0")
DIR=$(dirname "$SCRIPT")
cd "$DIR"
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libjemalloc.so.1
#Getting game executable name.
GAMEFILE=`ls | egrep x86$`
#Checking if OS is 32 or 64 bits and adjusting the game executable name accordingly.
OSVERSION=`uname -m`
if [[ $OSVERSION == "x86_64" ]]
then GAMEFILE=${GAMEFILE}_64
fi
#Puts the game executable as... executable if not the case.
if [ ! -x $GAMEFILE ]
then chmod +x $GAMEFILE
fi
#If this is a dev version, we want to activate logs.
#if [[ $GAMEFILE == *Dev* ]]
# then LOG="-logfile /tmp/rimworld_log"
# else LOG=""
#fi
#We always want to activate logs
LOG="-logfile /tmp/rimworld_log"
#Locale resetting (important for Ubuntu players who are not native speakers of English) and launching the game.
LC_ALL=C ./$GAMEFILE $LOG -force-opengl[/pre]
So now when I try and execute the game using the scripts I get these:
sudo ./start_RimWorld_openglfix.sh
./start_RimWorld_openglfix.sh: line 39: 4360 Segmentation fault (core dumped) ./$GAMEFILE $LOG $FORCEGL $@
sudo ./start_RimWorld.sh
./start_RimWorld.sh: line 33: 4415 Segmentation fault (core dumped) LC_ALL=C ./$GAMEFILE $LOG
sudo ./executerimworld
./executerimworld: line 33: 4469 Segmentation fault (core dumped) LC_ALL=C ./$GAMEFILE $LOG -force-opengl
I am sleep deprived and sad, I really want to play the new update.
I have tried clearing out home/.config/unity3d/ludeon with no change in result.
Any help or suggestions most welcome.
@ niggles - You haven't actually said what problem you are having (although I'm assuming some sort of black screen issue given the thread you've posted in).
B18 included a Unity update, and that Unity update broke support for some older GPU's / GPU drivers under Linux. Some Linux users have been able to resolve this problem by updating their GPU drivers, while for others there was no solution available because their GPU just doesn't support OpenGL 3+ (that the version of Unity that RimWorld is now using requires as a minimum).
Here are three other support threads about the issue (which may or may not offer you some solutions)
https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=36972.0
https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=37123.0
https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=36958.0
So (assuming you are having some black screen/graphical issues) please can you check that your GPU drivers are up to date, and if they are please check with your GPU manufacturer as to what OpenGL support your GPU has.
Hey guys, I found a easy fix.
I have my steam set to my native language and that made the game start in black screen.
So I changed Rimworld to start in ENGLISH, and woops, it worked.
To do this, rightclick Rimworld in the steam folder, properties, language, set to english.
@ Vampner - Thanks for the info on another possible cause/solution. It's odd just how many different tech issues having a non-English setting can cause, as this isn't the first issue that is caused/solved by this. So not surprised you've found a case of a black screen issue being solved in this way (it's unlikely to be a fix for black screen issues in most cases, but certainly a quick and easy one to add to the check list).
I suspect that B18 not only broke GPU but also mods.
I was trying to add B18 mods(Tried to add more mods -> restart -> Back to add mods, repeat multiple times) and then the game itself broke permanently after one unfortunate restart.
Deleting mod list from config folder(Or deleting config folder) did nothing.
Deleting entire rimworld except mod folder also did nothing.
Deleting all workshop content did nothing.(I am not unsubbing all workshop items, as I have at least 40)
Due to its abrupt appearance of this bug(I have not even played the game to produce this error), I assume that there is some kind of fundamental instability within B18.
Note: Windows 8.1, I think I had pretty recent NVDIA driver, GTX960.
Edit#2 : Reinstalling the game from steam worked, but now that I am downloading the mods again. I am sure it will break again.
I think coughing up entire mod list if ONE SINGLE THING go wrong is OK if it does its job, but I do not see how this is useful if game could be broken by mod list even with this feature.
Edit #3: OK, I have tracked down the source mod error back to one undeleted </li> mxl tag somewhere in the mod. I think game will not break with 0 errors... probably.
However, I should still report that one </li> tag somewhere is capable of breaking the game and prompts user to reinstall.
@ Reinhark - Thank you for the info, and for troubleshooting the problem you had yourself.
Although I don't know enough about modding to know exactly what you are reporting with your final edit. If a mod is missing a </li> tag, and that causes the game to crash, how does that force a reinstall? As won't removing the mod remove the problem? As the mod wouldn't have modified any of the core game files. The user might need to delete their config folder, but again that's not the same and forcing a user to reinstall.
If there was a fundamental stability issue with B18 and mods, I'm fairly sure the major modders would have flagged something by now. If an error/bug in a mod causes the game to crash then that's the fault of the mod AFAIK (although if you do think you've found a bug in the vanilla game then please create a bug thread for it, as the devs are very unlikely to see it here in a 20+ page long support thread).
Hi, love the game and the community. First post so I'll try to keep it concise. I'm attempting to run Rimworld on a Debian Jessie Virtual Box VM. I downloaded the file, unzipped to the directory I wanted it to be in that had the correct user permissions. Running "./RimWorld1722Linux.x86_64" yields "Player data archive not found at 'mydir/RimWorld1722Linux/RimWorld1722Linux_Data/data.unity3d', using local filesystem" then nothing. When I attempt to run "./start_RimWorld_openglfix.sh" i get "Sorry, game still crashed with the -force-opengl fix" after what looks like something trying to open. After this i tried "./start_RimWorld.sh" and it again looks like something tried to open but was immediately closed. I have yet to get the game to actually run on this system but it does run on my host so the files are okay. I have also redownloaded/reextracted with no luck. I'm quite new in general so if there is something else I can provide to help diagnose this please let me know.
Edit: I posted here because this is where the "Notes for Linux Users.txt" file suggests. If there is a better place for this i'd be happy to change locale.
Edit 2: Also, right-clicking and selecting run through file manager does nothing on x86 or x86_64.
Edit 3: Tried possible solution here https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=2605.msg23998#msg23998 by creating a new script and adding those lines plus the recommended "-savedatafolder=SaveData" and "-force-opengl". Running the new script gave the same result as the above scripts. It seems that there is some library I'm unaware of that has unity.3d or the game is supposed to create it at boot but is refusing to?

Ok after looking at this it looks like its the version of OpenGL that is killing it, Check this post
https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=36958.0
My understanding is that the new unity used openGL3.2 .
you can check your supported opengl with
glxinfo|grep OpenGLRight now it looks like the only way to play the game is to revert back to A17. I might try that and report back.

Right now it looks like the only way to play the game is to revert back to A17. I might try that and report back.
I will check the opengl version in a moment but the problem I'm having doesn't seem to be related.
My terminal doesn't show:
"Desktop is 1366 x 768 @ 59 Hz
Unable to find a supported OpenGL core profile
Failed to create valid graphics context: please ensure you meet the minimum requirements
E.g. OpenGL core profile 3.2 or later for OpenGL Core renderer
Vulkan detection: 0
No supported renderers found, exiting"
It ends at:
"Player data archive not found at `../RimWorld/RimWorldLinux_Data/data.unity3d`, using local filesystem"
Which leads me to believe a file "data.unity3d", that is supposed to be with the B18 DRM-free download, is not there. I also noticed that I've only gotten it to run on machines that have Steam installed. I'm going to see if I can find and just copy and paste the data.unity3d file from the machine with Steam installed.
Check /tmp/rimworld.log for the real error.
That file will 've created when the game launches for the first time. That error is a red herring.
Ok i got B18 to run on my machine. Basically X11 wasn't using the Intel Drivers so it didnt have access to the OpenGL profile above 2.1. This was because of a Kernel switch in grub.
I removed nomodset from my kernel line and BINGO, everything worked. I even have steam running.
I am running Centos7, so YMMV but it worked for me.

kernel line meaning /etc/default/grub? if so i dont have nomodeset there.
also where is the log file? not seeing it

I'll take a look overnight, if I remember. Ill see if I can get mine working on arch. I vaguely remember having the same problem the first time I launched on Arch.
Is this still the correct location for this topic?
I last played Rimworld about 2 weeks ago and it was fine. I had 4 mods installed, although only 2 active. I tried to load it up today and I get the black screen (I see the planet loading screen for about 1/2 second and then it goes black).
I've tried everything on the front page. Have unsubscribed from all mods, deleted the game and all folders, ran the registry program, rebooted, re-installed, it's still the same.
All other Steam games are working as normal.
What's the next step?
EDIT : Installing on a different drive fixed it. I would like it on my main drive but this works for now.
Hello,
I am having an issue with rimworld on steam. Everytime I attempt to start the game it immediately crashes.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game on multiple drives, deleted files, etc. Nothing has
Worked unfortunately.
It says a folder named 2018-05-04_074510 next to game executable
Hope this helps.
Without the an error log it is hard to say why the game crash.

Hi,
I run Debian and am only able to launch the game using "LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1", which makes the game slow, ugly and quite unplayable. If I do not prepend my command with this, the game crashes on launch. If it's any help, I was able to launch the game only with "-force-opengl" in the previous version, the crashes started in B18.
It works. After asking around in a Debian forum I was able to install bumblebee and primus to use my graphics card correctly and am now able to play by launching the game with optirun.
I've just bought Rimworld off of steam. I'm having this issue too. initially game would open and music would play but no window would appear. After following all advice on this forum I have managed to get window to open but I am left with a lack screen. Please help, I am not particularly tech savy.

Getting a black screen on startup, or the game won't run properly? Try these steps!
1. Reset RimWorld's configuration data by deleting all the RimWorld configuration files. You'll find them in one of the following folders (depending on your operation system):
Windows | C:/Users/[username]/AppData/LocalLow/Ludeon Studios/RimWorld/Config
C:/Users/[username]/AppData/LocalLow/Ludeon Studios/RimWorld by Ludeon Studios/Config
Note 1: the AppData folder may be hidden.
Note 2: the RimWorld folder within LocalLow may differ for various users, see this thread (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=34758.0)
|
Mac | Users/[username]/library/Application Support/Ludeon Studios/RimWorld/Config
Users/[username]/library/Caches/RimWorld/Config |
Linux | /home/[username]/.config/unity3d/Ludeon Studios/RimWorld/Config |
2. Your RimWorld install itself may be corrupted somehow.
-If you're not on Steam:
A: Delete the entire RimWorld install folder.
B: Re-install the game from a newly downloaded zip file as described in this thread (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=7886.0).
-If you're on Steam:
A: Unsubscribe from all mods in the Workshop (http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/browse/?appid=294100).
B: In Steam library, right-click RimWorld and select Uninstall.
C: Shut down Steam.
D: Delete this folder (if it's there): Steam\SteamApps\common\RimWorld
E: Delete this folder (if it's there): Steam\SteamApps\workshop\content\294100
F: Restart your PC.
G: Open Steam, Install RimWorld, and play.
3. Disable virus protection programs (they occasionally flag RimWorld as a virus and kill it, since it was downloaded from the Internet).
4. [Windows only] Download and run Delete_RimWorld_Registry_entries.reg (https://ludeon.com/rimworld/Delete_RimWorld_Registry_entries.reg) (right click the link and use Save Target As) and double-click it to delete all registry entries related to RimWorld.
5. [Mac DRM-free only] Re-extract the game with the default .zip extractor program. Other programs often extract the files with heavy permission restrictions, which prevents the game from running. (if you know how, you can also chmod 644 the whole install folder).
6. [DRM-free only] Make sure you didn't install the game on a path with special characters, like #, $ or accented letters. Try installing in C:/RimWorld or another simple directory.
7. [Linux only, glibc 2.25] It seems that glibc again has broken compatibility with several software packages including Unity. See how to fix that problem here: https://ctrl.blog/entry/glibc225-unity-black-screen
Thanks goes to kallisti5 (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=4805.msg340610#msg340610) for the tip!
8. [Linux only] Run the game with "-force-opengl". This seems to make it run on OpenGL 2.0+ (Seems to work without it on OpenGL 3.2+)
9. [Linux only] Run the game (prefixed) with "LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1" to force software rendering. It will be poor and performance and not ideal, but may run where the game doesn't otherwise.
10. Install on another drive (this has worked for users who were having issues on Steam).
11. If you have Hamachi installed, disable it's virtual network adapter or uninstall Hamachi.
12. (Windows 10/8/8.1 only) Try restarting your computer with the Restart button, rather than the Shutdown button in the Start Menu.
13. Running Windows 10 and just updated to the Fall Creators Update? Please see this thread: http://steamcommunity.com/app/294100/discussions/0/1489992713701469592/
14. You may need to reinstall your graphics card drivers. We recommend downloading the latest graphics card drivers from your computer manufacturers website.
Greetings to all, for storage problems on my pc moved the locallow folder to an external hard drive, which was the saves and configuration of the rimworld and when I had no more space problems I decided to return to the place locallow folder and run rimworld I get black in the window of the game
any solution?
try the solutions that you put and it does not work: /
pd: is the version a17-b18, my os is windows 10 and is non steam
So I just bought and installed rimworld via steam but the game crashes when I try to run it.
I tried deleting the config files and re-installing it.
Here's my error log

Hi, getting a crash on startup, posted in bugs but going to add a link here (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=41741.0) incase anyone can help
The Delete_RimWorld_Registry_entries.reg link seems to be broken
Enter at the windows search field "regedit" and start it.
Use the search function from regedit and search for Ludeon.
Delete the complete Rimworld .... entry.
Close regedit.
Ok thanks. Wanted to make a full wipe when testing the unstable build
I made all things but game not start. I already take black screen??? on my laptop I dont have graphics card. How can I fix that?? I use win7 and pc ACER
If you laptop only got desktop (2d) graphic's and no 3d grafik abilities you can't run Rimworld.
Sometimes the laptop use a 3d emulation software to have a minimum graphics.
Since you got Win7 i think it is a very old one, do you got the minimum resulution of 1024x768 ?
Did you got DirectX installed ?
Latest graphic driver ?
And at last maybe post the error log, that maybe show why it won't start.
Look at point 6 how to locate the log.
https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=513.0
Okay so I found a fix for me on Ubuntu and an older laptop, it seems my laptop was using an older version of OpenGL when trying to launch the game due to my old intel graphics card, but to fix that I launched with the following from the console:
MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.3 MESA_GLSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=330 ./start_rimworld_openglfix.sh
Obviously either make sure you are either in the right folder or complete the directory to point to your start rimworld script.
This will only work if you use the MESA drivers.
this problem is after I downloaded some modes on workshop. Now what I need to did I did but It's not working. I deleted all saves all modes and the game but allready not work.

Please post your log file so we can help figure out what happened. Unless you installed Steam to a different folder, your log file is probably here:

Hi, my game is refusing to run in dx11 and keeps running out of memory, Ive tried updating video driver and everything but it refuses to run in dx 11. I even tried to force it, but then it crashed
Kassidoo,
could you please read
https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=513.0
and post an error log, maybe there we can get some hints.
There is no specific circumstance that causes dx9 to run as far as I can see, my driver and everything is updated. Even my gf next to me with different hardware it runs on dx9. Only thing in common is win10 and our gpu 1080.
Relating to the crash, its the disgusting "RimWorldWin.exe caused an Access Violation (0xc0000005)" which from my understanding has no fix.
The game works fine for hours upon hours, but if I save it and reload, its a gamble if I ever can get back in my game as it crashes within 5 min with this every time. So far the only workaround I have found is to try every outsave and hope one works.
This is my log https://www.dropbox.com/sh/tj5msktq4ooxbs8/AAB3QaX4X7CR9_t7OyagHKipa?dl=0
As for the save, its modded so I dont know what good it would do without all the same mods and loadorder
Edit: And every crash I get has the same "Read from location 00000010 caused an access violation." so its the same thing going on every time.
Like i thought.
It has nothing to do with DX11, Rimworld still just use DX9c.
It is the typical too many mods out of memory issue maybe together with larger then normal map/world.
Sorry no chance to help for your current colony except you want to play at Linux (which is the only version which got 64bit Rimworld).
But with the upcoming version we all get 64bit, and can handle that many mods without running out of memory.
And btw. when did you got a black screen ?
How is it out of memory? It is only using 30%, and also that isnt a good answer as my so next to me with the exact same amount of mods doesnt have this issue.
30% of what ? You total RAM ? It doesn't matter.
Rimworld B18 is a 32 bit application and can only address 3.2GB RAM, doesn't matter how much you got installed.
Did you maybe increase the map or worldsize with your current colony, which have a big influence on the memory usage.
Multiple colonies or many Temp. maps also increase the memory need.
Zombieland is another big mod that need alot of memory, but it is hard to remove.
If you can load the safegame you can try to add RuntimeGC mod, to clear unneeded pawns and things and reclaim memory from time to time.
At the time of the crashes it generally uses less than 1gb ram, I have default map size, only 1 colony with 1 colonist on an ice sheet map with no mobs or anything so very little happening. But regardless, I doubt there is anything I can do with a software issue.. As said by ison : "Access Violation errors mean that it's a Unity's bug, so we can't do anything else other than hoping that updating Unity will fix it. Thanks for reporting though." in the thread https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=36129.0
Hi, I have tried all the steps I have uninstalled the game I have turned off windows defender. I have done everything I can to try and fix this black screen it looks like its playing but it isn't. It lets me go into steam overlay and it shows my FPS but i am still at a black screen. This isn't the only issue I have had. I have been having a issue with Dying light also. And I don't know what I can do to fix these games. These are my favorite games and I can't play. Ever since July I have been having issues
Good morning/afternoon/evening.
I have issues with running RimWorld. I use Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS - fresh install, two days old. Everything is updated, ubuntu updater couldn't find any additional drivers. There is no black screen, something just flickers - and nothing. Terraria works without problems. GPU: `Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0046] (rev 12)`
I tried the local reset, which didn't work. I tried the -force-opengl, which didn't work. Here's output when I run it directly:
```

Player data archive not found at `/home/petr/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/RimWorld/RimWorldLinux_Data/data.unity3d`, using local filesystem
```
I tried to run the two fix files that came with install - it didn't work. I verified file integrity with steam - it didn't work.
I don't know what to do. There are no config files, there are no logs. I dual-boot with Windows 10, where it works flawlessly. It would be great if someone could help me.
I'm on Linux (Arch Linux), and I also can't launch Rimworld anymore since yesterday. I've never had this problem before, played B19 without any problems (even with more than 200 mods active), and I could start 1.0 before without any problems, as well.
What happened is the following: Yesterday I browsed my modlist again to see whether all my mods were already ported to 1.0 from B19, then, for some reason, Steam crashed, and Rimworld followed suit a couple of minutes later (I don't know why, maybe because of Steam DRM?). I then started Steam up again, and all of my previously installed games weren't installed anymore (at least according to Steam, because they were all still there, and 'reinstalling' mostly meant that Steam found the old files again...). I then tried the following:
1. Reinstalling Rimworld, without any cleanup beforehand: Trying to start Rimworld via Steam has no effect, trying to start it directly by using any of the provided scripts or 'RimWorldLinux.86_64' directly gives:
Set current directory to /home/[username]/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/RimWorld
Found path: /home/[username]/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/RimWorld/RimWorldLinux.x86_64
There is no data folder
2. Doing a clean reinstall, as described in the first post of this topic: The same as above. I even turned off 'Cloud Syncing' and unsubscribed from more than 300 mods. Currently, my Rimworld should be as vanilla as possible, but it still doesn't start up.
Is this some kind of Unity issue? I read somewhere that this might be related to Linux filenames being case sensitive, in contrast to how Windows (mis)handles this. Is it possible that sometime between Rimworld versions, a file with incorrect capitalisation was added, and because Steam is stupid, this change was not reflected correctly on updating and only came to light, when I had to reinstall Rimworld completely?
Hi guys, new Rimworld person here and I just bought the game for my Mac after watching my wife have so much fun on her version in Windows. I bought it and installed it but it wouldn't run. Crashed right away. Not the first time I've had this happen with a new game so I verify the integrity of the game files and its good. Try restart - crash. Restart PC and try again - crash. Check support area - get link to here. Posting here to see if I can get a resolution for this as I've never had a new game be this hard to launch.
Mac Specs:
Version: Yosemity 10.10.5 (14F2511)
Processor: 3.2 GHz Intel Core i3
Memory: 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics: ATI Radeon HD 5670 512 MB
If anyone can direct me to how I can get the game to launch and run that would be most appreciated.
*EDIT: So I found the local .exe file and it launched the game there. It's doing it offline so I don't get any steam perks from playing, but it plays now.
Pls kindly take a look at my post regarding this.
I had some issues that may be connected

Hi there!
When I first launched Rimworld (via Steam, laptop, win 10) a crash error message showed up then seconds later a black screen and the game freezed. After I ran an integrity check on steam and restarted the game the crash message showed again and only the cursor changed without black screen but it crashed so much I couldn't even exit with task manager. I tried every suggestion I found in the forum but nothing's changed. :'( Could you please help me? I' attaching the last error logs below.

Pasziplayer,
when did you update your grafic driver the latest time ?
Since the crash is lated to the NVidia 3d driver you should do that.
Thank you for the answer. My laptop doesn't let me update or delete the nvidia driver and I can only have it fixed after the Christmas holidays. However, it works fine on my mother's laptop (which she rearly uses), so no worries. :)
Hay Tynan, the Ludeon Studios Folder is entirely gone. Rimworld won't start and I think this might be the problem. I've already tried uninstalling it and reinstalling the game. I even removed all the mods and even removed the files Manually but the game still sends the message: Rimworld by Ludeon Studios has quit unexpectedly. Alternatively, In the report log it says this: Application Specific Information:
validateTextureDimensions:758: failed assertion `MTLTextureDescriptor has width of zero.'
I don't know if either of these are the reason and I don't know how to attach the report log.
Also, Rimworld is an amazing game. It must have been difficult to balance it so well.
Edit: Okay, turns out my mouse is invisible. Does anyone know where the programming is located?
I have Windows 10 and Steam.
I've tried all the prescribed steps pinned on this topic. I've also tried the following:https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/1/1480982971174752598/
and also

The game starts, but as soon as it says "InitializingInterface" the screen goes totally black and does not recover.
I have also tried launching the game as administrator and installing on a different hard drive (creating a new Steam library)
I have attached my output_log.txt but I could not find any error.log.

I think there is a problem with your translations.
Since you can't change the language ingame you need to edit or delete the prefs.xml
AppData/LocalLow/Ludeon Studios/RimWorld by Ludeon Studios/Config/Prefs.xml
Try if the game starts with english.
Quoteyou need to edit or delete the prefs.xml
AppData/LocalLow/Ludeon Studios/RimWorld by Ludeon Studios/Config/Prefs.xml
I just double-checked and I don't have an
AppData/LocalLow/Ludeon Studios/RimWorld by Ludeon Studios/Config/Prefs.xml file.
I did follow the pinned solution also, which includes
Quote1. Reset RimWorld's configuration data by deleting all the RimWorld configuration files. You'll find them in one of the following folders (depending on your operation system):
Windows C:/Users/[username]/AppData/LocalLow/Ludeon Studios/RimWorld/Config

Note 1: the AppData folder may be hidden.
Note 2: the RimWorld folder within LocalLow may differ for various users, see this thread
I also tried removing the whole C:/Users/[username]/AppData/LocalLow/Ludeon Studios folder and the problem persists.
As an added troubleshooting step, I made sure that my graphics driver was the most current version and uninstalled and reinstalled it.
I also noticed that besides the "problem with [my] translations", I'm getting the following error repeatedly:
Could not execute post-long-event action. Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

however none of that helped because I'm not running any mods and I did a completely clean install.
Thank you again for any help.
The exception indicate the program (RimWorld or you) haven't (read) access permission to the file. Can you open FriendlyName.txt with any text editor like Notepad? I'm not sure Windows security system, but maybe the file (or its parent folders, or root drive) haven't allow normal users. Or someone locks those. Some people says, if the drive bring from other PC like as USB storage, or the OS was upgraded, it would be break permission occasionally.
I just wanted to let you know what I found out...
It looks like IOBit Anti-Malware was blocking something, and turning the protection off temporarily didn't help (and even adding an exception for FriendlyName.txt didn't help). So I had to completely uninstall IOBit Anti-Malware and THEN do a clean install of Rimworld, now Rimworld seems to work fine. Reinstalling IOBit Anti-Malware after Rimworld doesn't seem to affect it, it still works.
So I don't know what the deal was exactly, it's a really strange problem.
Thank everyone for their help.
I can't open RimWorld versions above 0.17 with "start_RimWorld_openglfix.sh".
Val,
you should be more detailed with your error report.
And maybe you made a new topic.
What Operation system.
Steam/non-steam
What you are doing
Logfile from Rimworld. To locate the logfile look at
https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=513.0
You can attach files to your posting, so don't try to insert the log as text.
OS : Lubuntu 18.04 x86
I'm trying to play the game through the steam version, but for a reason that i don't know why i can't open the game through "start_RimWorld_openglfix.sh" in versions above 0.17. When i try to run "start_RimWorld_openglfix.sh" with "./start_RimWorld_openglfix.sh" this is what appears
"Detected OpenGL versoin < 3.2, launching game with a fix"
"Sorry, game still crashed with the -force-opengl fix".
I recently had to switch OS to Ubuntu 18.04 and I can't seem to launch RimWorld, I am very new to Ubuntu and don't know any terminal commands, whenever I try to launch RimWorld the game just flashes then disappears. FYI I have tried the terminal commands that come in the notes and it says that the command is not found. any ideas
Posting the logfile would be helpful.
Rimworld allways create on start a logfile, so there is maybe a hint.
I am not a linux user, but did you update the video driver ? Do other 3d games works well ?
I think these are the log files that you are looking for, if not let me.
I haven't tried other 3d unity games, should I?

EDIT:
MSI Afterburner was the cause of my crashes. I changed the application detection level to none and now the game start and runs fine.

YES! Thank you! I was trying all weekend to get the game running. Tried everything and was almost sure i could never play the game again.
Closed MSI Afterburner and now it works! Would've never thought of that. Thanks! :)
Good day! I just bought the game but it keeps on crashing whenever I launch it from Steam, can't even last a minute from the starting menu but the game seems fine whenever I launch it straight from the game folder. I have no mods installed, tried validating my files and reinstalling the game. Anyone knows what's going on here? Thanks!
Here's a video recording of what's happening, the first time I launched the game was from the game folder and it seems fine, the following two launches are from Steam when the crashes happen, it doesn't give me any error logs too.

----- Found the answer, seems to be RTSS. Made a profile of RimWorldWin64.exe on Riva Turner and disabled RTSS functions on it. Haven't experienced any start up crashes so far, cheers!
Thanks ragington!
This thread should be pinned or something. I wanted to play again since a long time and crashed all the time.
RTSS was the reason - just put the RimWorldWin64.exe as a profile in there and deactivate the detection level - solved!
Recent RivaTurner update (7.2.3) seems to have fixed this, I can now play the game even with it on. Just a heads up.
Hello!
I've been playing fine until yesterday, when I updated my GPU driver. Now, every time when I try to start the game (no matter if from Steam or directly) I get the error message, and the game is not starting at all.
The most recent crash report is attached.
Some info about my PC, I don't know if you need that at all, and which info you need, so I just put some of it here:
CLEVO P170EM
Windows 7 Ultimate (64-Bit)
Intel® Core™ i7-3610QM CPU @ 2.30GHz
Intel® 7 Series/C216 Chipset Family
AMD Radeon HD 7970M
Intel® HD Graphics 4000
Any help is very apprechiated!
Sorry, right after I posted this I found that sticky topic "Black Screen? ..."
So, I already did do step 1 before, so I guess I really need to try step 2 now?
Hi,
QuoteRenderer: Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000
you should try that Rimworld use the other videocard.
special since
Quote0x000007FECC65D715 (atiumd64) OpenAdapter
0x000007FECE71FD0C (atiu9p64) XopOpenAdapters9
all the driver are for ATI allready.
Alternativ, deactivate the intel one at the Bios, if you don't need it.

Yea, I noticed that the crash report said that the Intel GPU was being used, too... Altho I configured the AMD "switchable graphics" (translation from german, dunno if it is called like that in english) so that the AMD Radeon should be used...
I'm gonna ask the AMD support next, I think. If that doesn't work, I'll do step 2 and 4 from the sticky topic, and let you know the results.
So, I thought I updated my AMD Radeon drivers, because the old one was from 2013, and the new one was from 1 month ago...
BUT, the old one was from the manufacturer (Clevo), and the new one was from AMD. That's why the new one didn't work correctly.
The AMD support also gave me the advice to try and disable the Intel GPU in BIOS, however, in my BIOS there was no setting for disabling any GPU. And the support from mySN/XMG/Schenker (where I bought the laptop), confirmed: I can't disable it.
"Leider ist es bei dem Barebone P170EM von Clevo nicht möglich, die integrierte Intel-GPU im BIOS auszuschalten.
Durch die Integration von NVIDIA Optimus bzw. in Ihrem Fall von AMD Enduro ist dies nicht möglich."
I tried to switch back to the old driver, deinstalled the new driver. Rimworld worked again, but the Catalyst Control Center didnt work correctly, so I downloaded the driver from Clevo and installed that, but now the GPU driver was completely broken with constantly flickering display and crashing programs.
So now I'm preparing for restoring my SSD from a backup...
Sorry for writing all this kinda unneccessary stuff, but I need to reflect myself about what happened. Thanks for bearing with me, and wish me luck that the backup works :)
Alright, everything is working again!
Thanks for the help, that small hint actually helped a lot :)
Good day!
Could you please help me with the following problem.
My game crashes after launch in 5-6 seconds.
No errors are shown at all.
Sometimes the game may not crash if I do nothing. But if I click any button, the game immediately crashes.
I am using the steam version. I completely deleted the game from the computer from the steam folder and AppData. It does not help.
I tried to quickly change the language in the game (English, Russian, other). It does not help.
I tried to run the game in windowed mode and with different screen resolutions. It does not help.
I tried in Steam to launch different versions of the game (b18, b19). It does not help.
I am using a 64 bit version of the game.
Computer configuration:
OS: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro
CPU: OctalCore AMD Ryzen 7 2700X, 4100 MHz
Motherboard: Asus TUF X470-Plus Gaming
System memory: 16310 MB
Video adapter: Radeon RX Vega (8176 MB)
AMD Radeon Software 2019.1204.2025.36760
Hi,
the logfiles don't show any hint why Rimworld got ended. It isn't a crash because at a crash you would get a crash msg. + crash folder.
Only
QuoteCouldn't find exact match for backstory ComputerGeek14, or any close match.
Couldn't find exact match for backstory Technician82, or any close match.
are suspicious, but no real reason for a crash.
And since you mention you complete delete (not uninstalled) all surplus files should be gone too.
So i think some other tools you installed on your mashine should be the reason.
I don't think any antivir tool would end a program without report/warning.
So check other tools you are running at the background.
I think someone got trouble when he launched the game over steam.
Could you try what happen when you Rimworld starts direct from the installed folder and not over Steam.
Beside that i don't have any ideas.

Hello!
Thank you for the idea.
Yes, indeed, when the game is launched through Steam, it crashes. But when the game starts from the direct folder, then it works fine.
I don't know why this is happening. I looked at the Steam file logs but could not find a reason.
Could you please look and suggest what is the reason?
Thanks in advance.
Hello, Game doesnt start up on my MacOS Catalina.
I delete my older version downloaded directly from your dropbox.
and download brand new steam, delele older rimworld and instal brand new from steam. but still doesnt work and show this error:
Steam – Error
An error occurred white updating RimWorld (uknow error)
See the Steam supprt site for more information
need to say, the game doesnt work before. i read some articles about that and its maybe because rimworl its not supported on Catalina OS?
Thanks for response

Hello!
Recently there was an update for Rimworld to version 1.1 and after updating my game it totally stopped working. I can't even made it to the main menu. It's always register an error giving me only one option to do: "shut down the programm".
I have the license Steam version of Rimworld and even updating my game back to the 1.0 version do nothing, it's still not working!! :'(
Please, help me, I want to try out new Royalty DLC and even already bought it. :'(|
P.S.: I'm playing on Windows 7 without mods
SiRFiR,
since the new version use a new unity engine your video card might need actual driver.
If you didn't try this so far, it should be the first thing you should do.
Did you use any mods if yes, you should deactivate them all.
So you can be sure the problem happen with the plain vanilla game and isn't based on a mod problem.
After you be sure the problem still happen without mods, a logfile would be helpful and might show a problem.
Look at the rimworld installation for the _data folder, inside you will find output_log.txt, attach it as file to your answer. You need to use Reply to see file attachment options.
For anyone that was using the launch argument in steam to change the RimWorld settings directory
-savedatafolder="full location here"
i was getting a black screen. Removing that argument and the game launches fine
Using symlink from cmd
mklink /J "C:\Users\<user>\AppData\LocalLow\Ludeon Studios" "D:\Steam\steamapps\common\RimWorld\Ludeon Studios"
works
Any path which contain a blank/space need to be enclosed in "" or the blank would be interpret as seperator.
Basicly that isn't anything new.
In my cases there are no spaces yet still a black screen. Just noting it here for another avenue to explore for others.
Hello, I played a few hours of Royals 1.1 on my mac but after hotfix #2 the game no longer starts. It opens up to a black screen and sits there forever. Using 0% CPU.
I've tried uninstalling the game in steam, clearing all ludeon/rimworld directories in "~/Library/Application Support" and reinstalling. It doesn't help.
Any suggestions what else to try?
I found a log file which might give some help:

EDIT: after a long time waiting (a minute or two) the game crashed and this error appeared in the log:
/Users/buildbot/buildslave/steam_rel_client_osx/build/src/common/pipes.cpp (770) : Assertion Failed: fatal stalled cross-thread pipe
EDIT 2: second time restarting computer things worked again. I guess this is some intermittent error. At least I have a solution :)
Hi,
I've just updated to v1.1 on steam and the game no longer starts.
Games starts fine on laptop only set-up (Alienware with Windows 8.1 system) but when I connect the multi-screen set-up (extended desktop) through the Kensington universal docking station the game will crash on start-up.
I tried using steam launch options for fullscreen and windowed mode and tried launching the game from the folder but had no luck.
Earlier versions worked fine on this set-up.
Any help would be much appreciated.
EDIT: Game works if I set any two of the three screens in duplicate mode.
Have a Intergrated Intel Card (G45/G43 - OpenGL 2.1) had to use "MESA_GLSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=150 MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.2 ./start_RimWorld_openglfix.sh" in terminal (cd to game directory) to get the game running. I don't suppose anyone knows how to translate that to be used in steam's launcher options for the game? Tried entering it as is and with the full path to the sh file. Also tried putting the "MESA_GLSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=150 MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.2" part after them as well and still no luck. :/
Good afternoon!
Achtung!!! Sorry for my mistakes in the text.
I don't know English very well and I can confuse times or Google Translate could not understand me correctly.
I have a licensed version of the game in Steam and I and have a problem. After the purchase Royalty
and its installation, I began to see this:
Without Royalty everything works fine.
I deleted the game and downloaded again.
The steam says the files are not damaged.
I will be very grateful if someone helps me.
Plymeb,
i think you got old remain files at your installation.
Take a look into the Mods folder of your rimworld installation.
When you see a Core folder delete it.
If there isn't a Core folder, go back and delete the Data (not the ...._data) folder and let steam repair/reinstall it.
if I understand you correctly it should be like this:
RimWorld/Data/Mods/Core
but I have so:RimWorld/Mods/notebook
when I delete ''Mods'' or ''Data'' the game does not work.
Maybe I misunderstood you?
There is sometimes a problem with the steam updater, he didn't delete all old installation files. So uninstall wouldn't fix the problems since the folders/files are still there.
Thats why you need to manualy delete them.
It should looks like
Rimworld
---Data
------Core
------Royalty (if you got that DLC)
---Mods
------Core (if you see Core in the Mods folder delete it)
------Harmony
------Hugslib
------(and what ever mods you have installed)
When you got the Core folder under Mods, thats the main problem, delete it and start Rimworld.
If you still got errors, then just manualy delete the whole installation (not uninstall) and let steam reinstall/repair it.
The Mac version 1.1.2654 rev668 has no executable in the .app
Downloaded DRM free from sendowl.
I don't know if this is precisely the correct place for this. I can start the base game, but I bought Royalty recently and the DLC refuses to load. I can start the base game just fine and when I open the mod list, Royalty is there but deactivated. When I reactive it, of course Rimworld notices a new mod and tried to restart. When it comes back up, Royalty is disable again.
Help! I've tried turning off all my mods but this is still happening. I feel like I can't even play the base game because once this is fixed, I'm going to want to start something new with Royalty!
Nate,
be sure base game and DLC got the same version number.
The current DRM-free version for MacOS (1.2.2753 rev705) is missing executable permissions. Also, the developer credentials are missing/incorrect.
Workaround:
1. Open Terminal.app and enter "cd /Applications/RimWorldMac.app; chmod -R +x *"
2. Launch (only the first time) with Alt+right-click, "open", and click the "open" button when prompted.
Offtopic:
I know this is an easy fix for you, but it's also an easy mistake to make. So will you consider distributing the DRM-free version on itch.io?? The Royalty add-on could simply be one of the download options, or another product page altogether.
Some of us do not like Steam and others wouldn't know how to fix this. Mods do not work on Steam without an internet connection (or manual install), and the manual installation of mods on a DRM-free version is what lead me here.

Hi,
could you maybe add the logfile to your answer, it is located
%userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow\Ludeon Studios\RimWorld by Ludeon Studios\Player.log
You need to use reply before you can see file attachment options.
I never encounter "Faulting module name: mono-2.0-bdwgc.dll", so i don't have any big ideas. And since your windows is just a month old i think you have no old rimworld version or old video driver.
Maybe the logfile show more.
Hello,
i wanted to start playing Rimworld again, i stopped playing when there apparently were big incombatibilities between Unity and certain Linux configurations a while back.
Now ive installed a fresh, unmodded/unsubscribed instance of Rimworld, started it up, but i only get the in-game mouse cursor, theme song, but no picture. Still seeing the Steam interface "through" the window, so its a graphical problem it seems.
Machine is a Lenovo X230 running Artix Linux, installed mesa drivers and everything. Trying to start the game with the included shell scripts produce the same result.
ive also tried to manually switch from fullscreen to windowed mode, in my experience that works rather often when theres a case like that. But when i try to edit .config/Unity3d/Ludeon Studios/prefs, it will immediately revert back to the default configuration (which seems to be fullscreen).
Hi,
with the newer version there came an upgrade to the unity engine too, which require a better videocard then before.
I think you Lenovo X230 isn't longer capable to run Rimworld.
You should try to update the video driver if that maybe change anything, but beside that i don't think you can do anything.
wtf. so even though RW isnt the most graphics intensive game there is (i can play stellaris and skyrim on low settings on this machine still) it's Unity which just doesnt bother with backwards combatibility anymore? well, it is what it is then. thanks though.
Hi. My name is Vagelis, I just bought RimWorld and it won't open. Something about Unity pops up. What do I do?
I was told to add some more information. And here it is:
1. What the circumstances were: I buyed the game from Steam. Downloaded and tried to open it but it never opened. My OS I think is 64-bit of Windows 10 Processor x64. And here is my system's specs I think: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2310M CPU @ 2.10GHz 2.10 GHz RAM 3,00 GB.
2. What happened: Every time I tried to open the game instead of it running a message about Unity came up, loaded and closed immediately after loading.
3. What you expected to happen: I expected for the game to start. I just downloaded it.
I was told to get the logfire. I did copy and paste what you told me to, but it turns out I don't have a logfire at all. I only have the following folders: Config, Saves (completely empty), Scenarios (completely empty), Player (15KB), Player-prev (15KB), steam-autocloud.vdf (1KB).

Hello. This is the player. I really hope that helps.
Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2310M CPU @ 2.10GHz 2.10 GHz RAM 3,00 GB.
Renderer: Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000 (ID=0x116)
You don't meet the minimum requirements to run RimWorld. You have HD Graphics 3000 integrated graphics processor, RimWorld barely runs on HD Graphics 4000. Yours is one generation too old. It has reached end-of-life. The RAM is another point -- there isn't enough of it.
It's propably a 10-year old budget laptop. You need a new(er) computer for RimWorld. If you want a laptop, I suggest that you look into new-ish used T-series ThinkPads.
Ok ty for your your time good people. Sorry for being such a noob on pc stuff. Bye bye.
Hello,
My game won't start either, luckily I know the problem as I got the exact same problem with airport ceo, another game that uses the unity engine. Unfortunately the latest Unity client makes my games crash and this is super annoying, it probably has to do with 2 monitors where my gaming monitor (4K) is not my primary monitor, for reasons I can't adjust this, because I will run into more hardware problems if I do.
Now with this I am not able to run the game anymore since yesterdays update, I feel lucky I didn't purchase the new dlc, but I feel sad that I only got the game for about a month now and now that it's updated I am not able to run it anymore, well I can if I go to the beta's tab and select the latest 1.12 version, but that probably won't run the latest dlc either.
Anyways, I complained about this to unity already and I hope they fix this soon, I'm just hoping that you would get this fix in the game, as I won't notice if it's fixed or not as I can't upgrade unity myself.
RadioMan,
yes you need to use 1.3 for the latest DLC.
Many people reported back that the remove of the windows registry entries (remover at the 1. posting of this topic) helped but i am unsure if that help with the 2.monitor problem (someone else reported too).
Thanks Canute,
But I doubt that my issue will get solved with removing the registry entries, as the older version still works fine. I don't think I should touch this. Because I already had this problem in another game, exactly the same problem that is, I almost know 100% sure it's a problem with the new unity update, unless I'm told here, that the unity version didn't get updated with the last update.
Since it is a suggested thing by the main developer of this game (Tynan) i think you should try it out.
Since RW is a portable game (you can put it on a USB stick and play it from any other mashine) i don't think the registry are that important or get recreated with a RW start.
And like i allready said, many allready used it with success, but i don't know if they used a 2.monitor or not.
You know the DRM version of that game comes with a zip-file and don't even use an installer, that's why i think the regestry entries get created with each start like when you don't have config files.
Yes, well it is going just as expected as I have the exact same in another game, like I said.
After deleting those registry settings I can run the game, need to set it up again so it will run on my gaming monitor in the correct resolution and settings. After I press quit to OS and restart the game, it crashes again. I agree I can run the game this way, but it's a workaround, not the solution, because I need to do this every single time I start the game.
By the way, congrats on 10000 posts.
Ok, but i don't think the developer can made a quick solution for it and prolly need to update the unity engine again which mean's you need to wait for an update.
But could you please made a new posting at the Bug section.
Describe the problem, your hardware maybe dxdiag.txt and the player.log after a "crash". When it is a real crash the error.log/txt too from the crash folder but i just think Rimworld just stoped working and didn't crash.
And include what you have done, like the temp. fix with the regestry remover.
Alternativ, you can visit the developer Discrod and describe your problem there, maybe you will get a faster responce.

I got a quick fix for now, same with airport ceo, that I can live with..... that reg file or better said deleting the key in the registry gave me an idea, starting the game on my 1080p monitor in 1080p change it to windowed mode and move it to the 4K monitor. Here I can press that square on the upper right so the game comes up in somewhat fullscreen, after a restart I only need to move it to the 4K monitor again and press that rectangle.
I don't want to make it run in fullscreen as it would crash again the next time I want to play the game. But maximize the windowed mode is something I can live with now.
And once again, I don't think it's fair to make a bug report about this, as the problem is not caused by the game, but by the 3rd party engine and it's up to them to come up with a solution, as I don't want that all my unity games will stop working after they get updated to the current unity version
Hi new to the forum so sorry if I format this incorrectly. I'm having a problem since the 1.3/ideology update where my game loads fine without any mods loaded but once I add some it just starts crashing on the loading screen. I've tried the first two solutions already and completely uninstalled and reinstalled the game with no improvements. Just to clarify this is the same mod list I've been using in 1.2 without any problem (smaller list actually considering the mods that aren't 1.3 compatible yet). Anyone have any other suggestions.
Does i understood it right ?
Rimworld 1.3 + Ideology start and works fine.
Adding Mods, don't work anymore.
Sorry, but then the fixed you mention can't work because they are only for the plain Rimworld can't start isue.
Only use mods that are made for 1.3 looks like 1.2 mods mosttimes don't work at 1.3
Don't activate all mod's at once then you notice early when a mod made problems.
But when a mod let RW crash, you should contact the mod author.
Thanks for the reply, unfortunately it seems that the problem is 1.3 has raised the specs of the game to the point where past a certain amount of mods the game simply can't run and crashes instead, as I've just tried out the same mod list on a more powerful machine and have had no problems.
What with this ??
(https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=5234139883269435&set=gm.1234569653708250)
Few days I save the game, the game has broken when saving. next time when I want play i got this errors.
I would say, to many bad mods.
Edit:
Any mod that give you an error after activation/rimworld startup is a bad mod.
Maybe take a look at the 2.link from my signature.
you think of version from 1.2 ?

I'm having the same sort of issue. I'm running Arch Linux with a Tiling Window Manager, and the game loads perfectly except that the screen is black. I can even move around the menus and hear the button-sounds, indicating that the issue is grapical only.
My graphics card is a reasonably modern AMD card. I'm not getting any crash logs because the game isn't crashing, it's just unusable because it's a black screen.
I've worked through all the options Tynan suggested, even running with forced-software-rendering, to no avail. RimWorld ran fine on the same hardware before I switched to Arch, So I'm pretty sure it's not a hardware issue. I'm out of ideas on how to fix this, please help?
Hi everyone,
Until recently I was able to play Rimworld without any issues. I wanted to start completely fresh and with no mods so i turned off all of my mods in the in game mods manager and unsubbed from them all through steam, but since i did I have not been able to start the game. I've been trying to fix this issue for about 7 hours now and cant find a way to get it to work.
I have tried a fresh install of the game and deleting the config files, I have tried as many things as I could find that might work to help fix it. I play on an AMD laptop that can usually run a few hundred mods without lagging at all. This is my only PC for the moment and Rimworld is My favourite PC game. I run the game through Steam.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance for any and all help.
Well hello there everyone um, so I know my computer is old and its a laptop and my graphics drivers last available updates are from a while ago but Rimworld used to run just fine. And I hadnt played in a while but now I try to play it and i get the unity error on startup that lasts a half second and then the game just never starts. I tried everything listed above, ive even rebooted my laptop, ive checked for programs that could potentially interfere with steam or rimworld, Ive done the windows memory diagnostic thingy and im running out of options =_=. I wanna be sure it's my hardware that just isnt compatible before i give up lol. Although as I said, It used to run just fine T.T.
Here's my sys info :
Device name DESKTOP-J86PU6N
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2670QM CPU @ 2.20GHz 2.20 GHz
Installed RAM 8.00 GB
THere are two graphic cards : AMD Radeon HD 6700M Series
: Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000
As I said, I know they aint the best but it used to work and all the drivers are up to date :/ DirectX is as well. Here is the content of the crash file :
player log
error log
Im tryna upload the crash dmp and im actually not sure how if you need it but anyways. Help lol
Basically on Mac Ventura 13.6.4
With Steam.
Launching the game segfault (I guess).
Nothing is shown from executable on command line
I was using an external screen and at a certain point I was hitting Command+F (because it was a long time i did not play it - on win - and had some Mod for search not searching anymore).
What happened is that on mac this will exit fullscren and go to a windowed version. Hitting again I noticed the resolution got fucked up. It became like 16:9. Command+F again repeteadly basically increased the resolution. I believe I fucked up my mac with some Brew install stuff on screen resolution earlier on. That's not the point though. I looked for a Config.xlm and found out a width of 133.000 something pixels. 133 screens worth.
I changed back but I believe Steam cache stuff in some weird .db places.
Anyway, I reinstalled through Steam. Still launching gives coredumps.
While closing Steam altogether, I rm -fr * the Config from
- Users/[username]/Library/Application Support/Ludeon Studios/RimWorld/Config
Nothing. The other path, the one for Cache, provided by OP, is not there in mac. There's a com.valve.etcetect but can't see anything from there too.I grep the whole folder for screeWidth ... nothingI can't investigate on the Config folder because according to the suggeston I deleted the content. it's now empty and obviously not repopulating it :'(
edit: the log tells me things to do with screen resolutions indeed but I don't know the code, and after all this is a game not a job :D
log-censored.txt
edit2:
- Not even Step3 (i.e. deleting from terminal the game and workshop, with the actual correct paths for Mac) and reintalling works
- Clearing the download cache with Steam->Preferences->Download->Clear Download Cache will also not work.
I will not try to see if it's the Mod, but if this forum would be as dead as it seem, someone from the company could tell me what the code on my log is referring to... or where to look. Luckily I haven't bought all the DLC, that would be major sucking to have 100euro wasted this way.
