Known issues

[relampago]

Here we will post all known issues (including bugs) and solutions.
Note that Starfall Online is not available for x32 systems. To be able to play the game you should use only x64 os.

Known bugs:

- Some ships and equipment cards miss description or have "?" signs there. We will add it later.


Launcher and client issues:

My Launcher won't update. I get "Fatal Error""An error occurred while updating" and/or "Error updating game files. Perhaps the file is open in another program or run an instance of the game."

To play during this test you need to do a clean install - fully delete old version and download launcher from the website: http://starfalltactics.ru/starfall/StarfallSetup.exe


Sorry if it caused inconveniences - sadly, an old version of game launcher and game can work incorrectly or be unstable.

If you are an experienced pc user, you can try the following to fix launcher:
- open task manager, close all versions of starfall launcher you see there.
- start launcher once again, wait while it downloads update
- once it finishes download and closes launcher to restart it, quickly delete the second stafall launcher process in task manager.
Note that we still recommend doing a clean install before the test to ensure it all works correctly.

• LAUNCHER DOESN'T START AT ALL "The program won't start because zlibwapi.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." but is in the game folder if you check it.

Solution:
- Close launcher.
- Move zlibwapi.dll to any another folder. (Delete it from game folder, but save somewhere else)
- Run the game - it will show error that this file is missing [that's right]
- Move zlibwapi.dll back to the game folder
- Launch launcher again - now it must be ok.

• The game won't start. Error message: "Plugin 'MfMedia' failed to load because module 'MfMedia' could not be found."

Solution:
Can happen to older versions of the game. Fully reinstall the game (make sure you delete all game files!) to fix it.

• Error when starting the game: "Launcher found corrupt data" or "Corrupt data
  found, Please verify your installation" or "Download data is incomplete. Is there connection error?"

Possible solutions:

3 - try to unplug and re-plug your ethernet cable, then restart launcher

• Couldn't start :
  C:\Program Files x86\Starfall Tactics\Starfall\Binares\Win64\Starfall.exe
  MgrUrl=...
  CreateProcess() returned 2.

Solution:
Please, check if Starfall.exe is where it has to be, in Starfall Tactics folder.
If you won't find it there - delete Starfall\version.dat - this will result downloading the game again.
If you will find it there - try to move Starfall Tactics and Program Files folders to another location.

• Error when trying to start the game from launcher: "An error occurred while starting game client."

Solution:
Make sure you don't use x32 system - Starfall Tactics doesn't support it.
Try to close and open launcher again.

v.2 Try to run the game as administrator (right click on game icon - run as administrator)
v.2 Install VIsual C++: Launch UE4PrereqSetup_x64.exe from your game folder: Starfall Tactics\starfall_game\Engine\Extras\Redist\en-u
v.3 If it doesn't help - delete version.dat file which you can find in starfall_game\Starfall\version.dat and then close and open launcher again. (it can result in redownloading game files)

Hello. Make sure they have weapons. Then make sure they look at the direction they can fire and they are close enough to the enemy - each weapon and ship have its firing arc. To see it - hold alt, as it was said in the tutorial. To make your ships attack enemy ships, choose your ships(left click) and then order to attack enemy (right click on enemy).

[thedarklord2016]

ok.

First thing - didn't find "exit game" option, is that missing or i just couldn't locate it in game?
Second - in running survival mode it always trying to run co-op even if i select solo mode (?).

Top left corner in general menu - there is a button which lets you exit. Right bottom corner in Discovery or in battle - there should be menu. You might not see it if you have 4:3 monitor

Try not clicking on "co-op" or "solo" while getting to survival, just choose a fleet and push play.

In survival when the Injector spawns in the 10th wave, the game crashes when you destroy it. I tested this twice with a friend in Co-op Survival.

Also for the Vanguard ships I have one that says it uses beam weapons but can only equip cannon weapons. I have a beam weapon unlocked.

Thank you for reporting, will get a hot fix for the boss from 10th wave today.

Could you say which one exactly, please?

Hey diegoweiller, I already posted a comment about it in your topic.
About tutorial - have you tried to complete one available in the main menu? It might help.
