Some players have reported that the game won't launch.
For others, the game worked, but then crashed or entering an endless loading screen.
The good news is that we've found the cause and seem to have fixed everything. But that's not certain!
To test this, we need volunteers from those currently experiencing this issue. We've created a separate testing branch where we've uploaded a build with the fixes.
We kindly ask that if you encounter the issues described above, follow the instructions below, run the new build, and let us know in the comments or on Discord whether this resolved the issue or whether it created any new ones.
To join the Open Beta testing branch:
Right-click the game's name in your Steam Library. In the list that appears, select "Properties" at the bottom.
In the window that opens, select Game Versions and Betas
In the Hidden Versions field, enter the super-secret code KotaMotaBetaTest and click the "Check Code" button.
A new betatest branch will appear - just click its checkbox, and Steam will automatically switch to it and start downloading the update.
If you haven't been able to launch the game since release, just try it and report back in the comments below this post or on Discord.
If you had saves and don't want to risk them, save a copy of them somewhere before launching. In theory, this build should fix broken saves and the game will start loading, but in practice, it's better to be on the safe side. Saves are located in the following path:
