(Steam) Game launches - crashes after load screen with no error log

[jake]

Hi All,

I've installed all components from this thread : https://www.reddit.com/r/projectceleste/wiki/how-to-install-and-play-aoeo-celeste-fan-project

After the game launches I see the screen and the boat sailing as soon as the custom mouse cursor displays it crashes straight to desktop with no log on what happened.
Decided to turn off my anti-virus and now when I click play online it does nothing but minimise the launcher.

Which antivirus and/or antimalware programs do you use?

I had McAAfe for some reason so I Geek uninstalled it. other than that I also turned off windows defender

Now that mcafee is gone, try running a game scan then see if it works.

Well that fixed the button not doing anything - however at the load screen it will now freeze til I kill it- I still get the custom cursor as soon as it happens but no crash report at the end and then trying to relaunch minimises the launcher - then if I do a game scan again it runs but does the same as above

Hm. Sorry for all of the trouble. Have you tried checking the event viewer for errors regarding Spartan.exe? You can open the event viewer by doing WIN+R then typing 'eventvwr' and hitting enter.

No luck finding it in the Event viewer. I might just clean install it and go from there if not I'll just cry over not getting nostalgia. ;(

We'll get this working one way or another! ^^

See if everything works while in "Safe Mode with Networking". To get into that mode, google how to boot into it for your windows version.
