Can't start battle due to error

Sincress · September 16, 2021

Hi, I'm having issues with starting the battle after the ship designer. After the lengthy loading process the loading screen gets stuck at "Loading Level..." indefinitely. When clicking the mouse anywhere on screen, the battle scene opens but there is no UI, no ocean, only the ships are visible. When pressing Esc, nothing happens, and it's impossible to get any UI to show. The issue is 100% reproducible meaning I can't enter the battle at all without this happening. It started happening after the Core 0.5 patch.

Loading screen, "Loading Level..." text is pulsing like Click To Start Battle should be.

When I click anywhere on screen, incompletely loaded Battle scene appears:

The last NullRefException repeats as it's being called from Update() somewhere. Good luck fixing this, and let me know if you need more info. (Yes, I'm a Unity game dev)

I got the same issue ☹️ i like this game i am very disappointed about this i hope some how to fix it. Is there someone who now how to fix this problem.

Nick Thomadis · September 17, 2021

Unpacker uses a standalone 7zip exe. Can you try to install 7zip in your system (it is free) and see if this helps with the problem?

Sincress · September 17, 2021

I tried installing 7zip but the problem still occurs, unfortunately.

Maik1508 · September 18, 2021

i solved the problem i updated my nvidia geforce gtx 1650 and now it works as well as before the problems so check if your video cart is fully updated hope for you it will work🙏

Admiral, please wait until the fix is live or you can try this workaround:

when windows attempts to close the application, try to wait for the app to respond without clicking any button - app shall respond

Thanks, but, I don't get the "application not responding" window. The battle scene loads, but it doesn't load properly. I just can't play at all now, even after a full reinstall.

This is plainly wrong. Multiple users have reported this issue. The game gets hung at "loading level" and you can literally wait for hours and it will never proceed to "click to continue"

The game is in a broken, unplayable state for some users, and it is unacceptable to keep seeing "wait without clicking, the game will respond"

Unfortunately, the following error still appears in the Player.log and the Battle Scene still does not load properly:

Same. I even completely deleted the game, wiped settings, and did a fresh reinstall on a different drive. Game loads, builder works perfectly, but the game will never pass loading level. Sound plays like waves, if you click you can see ships, but it is frozen, no UI and no water.

Admiral, could you please try to reinstall/update GPU drivers?

Sincress · September 22, 2021

My drivers are up to date, and it's an older NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti. I also haven't had any issues up to now.
