Critical Hotfix 1.0.0-1 - How to deal with crash issues

Game is just out and we already encountered quite a few critical issues.

This is why we now release Hotfix version 1.0.0-1 hoping to fix things.

What changed

We downgraded NW.js (the "engine" of CrossCode) again by default.

We were forced to do this since too many player experienced game-crashing issues with the new NW.js version.

The downside of this is, that the game might run slower for other players.

For those players we now added the following option:

Upgrade NW.js by switching to the nwjs_new beta branch

There is a new beta branch available called nwjs_new. By switching to this branch you get CrossCode again with the new NW.js version.

You switch to the branch like this:

  • Rightclick CrossCode in your library
  • Select Properties
  • Select the BETAS tab
  • In the top select box, choose nwjs_new
  • Verify game files or reinstall

This is confusing what does this mean?!

Instead of talking about technical stuff lets go through the most common user experiences here:

Case 1: The game was running fine with 1.0.0 but with 1.0.0-1 it's worse

=> Switch to the nwjs_new branch

Case 2: The game was crashing with 1.0.0 and you fixed it by downgrading NW.js

=> Nothing you need to do. The new version has the downgraded NW.js by default.

Case 3: The game was crashing with 1.0.0 and you fixed it without downgrading NW.js

=> If the new version runs worse for you, you can also switch to nwjs_new

Sorry for all the trouble to those player experience the crash issues! We're hard at work to find a good solution that works for as many players as possible!
