[Bug]: Game not loading for rainworld, stuck on black screen

[SebatheDragonbear]

What happened?

Opening the game crashes instantly upon opening it.

What should have happened?

Open the game and upon reaching the title screen, see the GUI after pressing F1.

UniTAS version

v0.5.0

BepInEx version

v5.4.x

Game name

Rain World

Game build

Windows x64 - Mono

How to reproduce

Drag the UniTAS folder into the patchers folder inside BepInEx, and then launch the game either trough the exe or Steam.

Must say that I'm using the pre-built BepInEx, which seems to be 5.4.17.

No response

That's an unusual error, don't think I've seen that before Might be something with the built in BepInEx

Could you try with the latest build from https://github.com/Eddio0141/UniTAS/actions/runs/10326756674/artifacts/1796921203 Lots of things has been fixed so worth a shot before I look into this

[SebatheDragonbear]

on an initial view, It worked!... wierd I thought I downloaded the latest version.

[Eddio0141]

Ok ok I'm glad! Yeah the versions in the release tab are snapshots I put there once in a while, so its stable but out of date compared to the newly built ones in https://github.com/Eddio0141/UniTAS/actions coming from code changes

[SebatheDragonbear]

and... I managed to open it once, and then it's a black screen every time I open it...

But hey, the menu atleast appears this time!... except the rest of the game.

[Eddio0141]

Yeah that's something I gotta fix Can you attach UniTAS.log? Should be in the BepInEx folder

[SebatheDragonbear]

Sure! didn't want to make another issue to avoid being annoying. (despite being a different issue with the same game)

[SebatheDragonbear]

exceptionLog.txt LogOutput.log

the UniTAS log is a bit too long. and goes over the 25MB limit, but for most of the files seems like it writes the exception log.

I'll send this while I see how to send the UniTAS.log

[Eddio0141]

Yeah I already see something I did wrong in the log Also compressing might work

[SebatheDragonbear]

UniTAS.zip here it is compressed

[Eddio0141]

https://github.com/Eddio0141/UniTAS/actions/runs/10463201309/artifacts/1830157157

can you try out this build? I think it was a simple fix I did that wasn't in the build you tried

[SebatheDragonbear]

UniTAS.log

Opens and instant crash.

Yeah that's odd, I'll have to check myself
