As a few people may know I occasionally stop by to play Game Dev Tycoon and it has worked beautifully in the past. However this time it seems to load up fine, run for about 1-2 minutes and then crashes.
My PC Specs are as follows:
OS: Windows 10 Home
PSU - EVGA NEX 750W
CPU - AMD FX6300 5.0 Black Edition
GPU - Sapphire Dual - X R9 270x
HDD - 1TB Seagate Barracuda (x2), 2TB Seagate Barracuda, 500 GB Hitachi Deckstar
RAM - 8GB Ballistic
MOBO - Gigabyte 970A - UD3P
One guy said the follow:
So it seems like itās a recent bug. Perhaps a recent game or OS update has caused this? I havenāt noticed a game update recently, however I think Windows 10 had updated the night before. Would anyone be able to investigate this issue?
Mhm, its 2016, not 2015 or 2014. If you were to made the thread way way earlier than yes, they would fix it. But since they are making Game #2 Its not possible
Besides, if you were using Windows 10, they werenāt expecting a new OS to appear Right after GDT Release, Patches,etc @TheGangstarTY
Perhaps you didnāt read what I put earlier? This has only just started happening. this wasnāt like this before. Itās been fine on Windows 10 previously but only just started.
Not exactly, because the issue still doesnāt get fixed. Your forgetting that this isnāt a save game issue, a few of us are getting it.
Iām trying to find a work around or see what the issue is but I canāt seem to find one so far.
Oh, just to add, two more people have reported the same issue:
[quote=Knightyy;350541595115809900]I went into my task manager and closed the process ānw.exeā that stopped the game from running but im not sure if its a permanent fix.
Update:
This only fixes the problem of it being unable to close, so i guess weāll just have to wait for it to be fixed ĀÆ_(ć)_/ĀÆ [/quote]
Listen, if your having a problem with the game, JUST CONTACT @PatrickKlug
Otherwise im getting annoyed with your smart ish thing.
now without further than do. I suggest @PatrickKlug to close this thread.
Calm down. Iād prefer to post it here so that others are aware too. Thereās a reason as to why thereās a ābugsā section. Please, just donāt reply if you have nothing useful to say. Iād rather it doesnāt get clogged up with spam.
Hello. Iām Gamergrill that was quoted above. Iām running on Windows 7, so the windows 10 theory doesnāt work in my case. As I said above, I have been playing the game fine for a while, and this crashing after about a minute only just started out of the blue. Any information or replicated this bug would be appreciated, as I really do want to continue playing.
Try searching āView Event Logā in Windows. Thatās what itās called in Windows 10. Windows 7 also has it, just tested on my server too.
In reply to @PatrickKlug , Iām not sure if itād be anything that has installed recently, unless itās something to do with Steam (that is the only thing somewhat related that could cause this as it recently updated for me). Weāre getting it across different OS so Iām unsure what the source of the problem could be exactly.
EDIT: Added a video to show you exactly whatās going on at my end. I hope this helps. I go through several attempts to get it working.
EDIT #2: [Relating to Video above] Decided to do a quick report on the time span between loading Game Dev Tycoon and having it crash. Theyāre in order, and I found the time patterns particularly interesting:
Itās strange how the first 3 were roughly the same, and even more peculiar the fact that it took less time to crash after deleting my mods.
Just a note, Steam disconnecting was nothing I did, Iām sure it was just another Steam attack or unexpected network error on their end. Convenient though, considering I didnāt want the mods to attempt to re-download. I hope all this helps, Iāve tried to make some time on this. Normally Iād edit the video but I need to get on with GCSE work, sorry about that.
I decided Iād give this a go just before I went offline. I feel like Iāve got somewhere with this.
I first used your Dev Tools like you said but it crashed everything and I saw no error. However i did gather a report before hand, twice was the same stuff:

I have put the errors in bold, and left the warnings and logs.
I also decided to use Visual Studio 2015 to debug, and it seemed to come out with a stack overflow error upon crashing as seen below:
Iām not sure what the other errors are, but a stack overflow error doesnāt seem fun.
Found out (sort of) what the other errors are. Go to the game directory, go to the ālibsā folder and open āraygun.jsā. Youāll want to find line 2013, that was what it (the dev tools) highlighted. I donāt know JavaScript, so I canāt exactly help any further with this error.
Iāll continue to search further tomorrow, I just tried to see if I could find the problem first. I hope Iāve been able to point you guys in the right direction
Oh and loading up nw.exe doesnāt work, Iāve even tried running as admin, changing compatibility etc.
I have a few ideas as what it could be though so Iāll investigate those also.
The raygun errors should normally be safe to ignore but since a stackoverflow is one of the few things that could genuinely crash the application, itās worth investigating further.
Can you try to simply delete the raygun.js file and see if this resolves the issue?
