Hey @Satrycus I've analyzed this bug with another player on Discord. Seems the problem is that other connected input devices interfere with the game. So please try disconnecting all Flight-sticks, Gamepads, Touch Pads or other input devices so you only have the mouse and keyboard connected and restart the game and try again. Hopefully this works We'll try to release a fix for this soon Cheers, Micha

Here is a list of common fixes if the game does not start at all, or crashes when opening or when starting a new save. Make sure your disk is not full, and free up some space Close all other programs that, so you have enough free RAM. If the screen is black or pink or the game does not open. Update your graphic card drivers I'll update this post with any future common issues

If you report a bug, sometimes it can be very useful for us to have a look at the save file or at the logfile of the game. The easiest way to provide us with both is to use the in-game bug reporting tool, by pressing the bug button in the top right corner, this will send us the files automatically. However, sometimes this won't work so here is explained how you can find the log and save files on your computer: In the Windows Explorer, go to view and tick the box to show hidden files Navigate to C:\Users\Username\AppData\LocalLow\Stray Fawn Studio\The Wandering Village Inside this folder is the "Player.log" which is the logfile The save files are stored in the Saves folder If you encounter any weird bugs, use the in-game tool to report them or create a post in the Bug forum. You can also send the logfiles directly to support@strayfawnstudio.com so we can help you. Happy Testing! Stray Fawn Studio

Please update your graphic card drivers. Most of the time this fixes the graphic bugs. If this does not work, please send me your logfile so I can see what went wrong. The logfile is in this folder: C:\Users\username\AppData\LocalLow\Team Niche\Niche - a genetics survival game\output_log.txt You have to enable Hidden Items so you can see the AppData folder.

Hi Pack! Since December 17th Niche is using a new folder for the save files on MacOSX. Unfortunately this caused problems with the Steam Cloud sync and it did not sync the files anymore. The Cloud Sync should now be fixed and work again. You might get a popup asking if you want to download the old saves or upload the new ones when you start the game. To recover old save files that were created before the 17th of December you have to copy them into the new save folder. Here is how you can do that: Open the Finder Click on Go in the top bar, hold the Option Button so you can see the Library Folder Then click on Library In Library/Application Support are two Niche folders: unity.Team Niche.Niche - a genetics survival game/Saves <- This folder is not used anymore and contains the save files before December 17th. com.strayfawnstudio.niche/Saves <- This is the new folder which contains the saves made after December 17th. Copy the old save file that you want to play from unity.Team Niche.Niche - a genetics survival game/Saves to com.strayfawnstudio.niche/Saves If there already is an new save for the same slot, it will be overwritten. So make sure to make a backup copy of a save before overwriting it, if you want to keep it. We are sorry for the problems that this change caused. Hopefully this guide helps you to recover your old saves. If you still have trouble write us an email to support@strayfawnstudio.com and we can help you. Cheers & Thanks Stray Fawn Studio

Hey @Void Sorry for not replying earlier, I totally forgot the post, thanks for reminding me. Unfortunately there is no error in the logfile, but I had a look at the savefile you provided It seems like you used a tool or a mod to get infinite ressources. Maybe this caused problems. The savefile you uploaded had some really strange data inside. I fixed it by hand by setting the tutorial to finished. But I'm not sure how this happened. Next steps: Take my savefile and place into this folder C:\Users\username\AppData\LocalLow\Nimbatus\Nimbatus\Saves\Savefiles And try to load it. If this still does not work, try to create a new game where you skip the tutorial and don't use any cheat-tools or mods. However I'm not sure why the endless tutorial bug happened in the first place, I'll have to investigate it more. If we don't find a solution for the problem you can have a refund, no problem. Cheers, Micha 255d3a3f-fc50-43e7-b51c-50a622488695.nimbSave

It seems the game has trouble playing the intro video. Try one of the following things: install the Microsoft Media Foundation from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/search/result.aspx?q=Media+Feature+Pack for your version of Windows. Or go to Windows Settings --> Apps --> Manage optional features --> Add a feature --> Windows Media Player --> Install.

Unfortunately no error in the logfile. Can you try to reproduce the crash and immediatly grab the logfile afterwards?
