Crashes

General Guidelines

• In the launcher, go to the "Configuration" tab, select "Show Data Location", and grab all log files, as well as the most recent crash dump in the "crashdumps" folder.

Main menu works fine, but levels crash

• If you're using the coop version, make sure you have the newest version installed. Link is on the haunted server.

Immediate crash after launch, no text/graphics shown

• Make sure you properly imported the data.

Crash after seeing some text/graphics

• If you're using Intel graphics... Intel won't work. Don't argue, don't try, it just doesn't work. You need a dedicated graphics card. Use Windows or nVidia Control Panel to manually configure it to use the dedicated graphics card.
• Windows Update tends to install broken AMD drivers. Go to https://www.amd.com/support and manually install a driver from there. The PRO drivers are known to not work, and the "Optional" driver versions also make troubles sometimes.

Other issues

Freeze in menu

HD texture packs not loading

• Make sure the texture pack isn't within a Windows-protected folder. This is usually your Desktop or the Program Files folders. Put your texture packs into your Documents or Downloads.
