Hello Numantian Games Team,

I’m experiencing a crash when trying to launch *They Are Billions*.
The game freezes at "DXSlim - InitRenderer" and then crashes silently.
I’ve checked the Event Viewer and found the following error log:

Application: TheyAreBillions.exe
Version: 1.1.3.18
Faulting module: KERNELBASE.dll
Exception code: 0xc00000fd (Stack Overflow)
Faulting offset: 0x00000000000951c6

I have already tried the following:
- Running as administrator
- Setting Windowed mode in Configuration.txt
- Reinstalling SlimDX
- Updating GPU drivers
- ...

Check if at the moment of the installation your antivirus, firewall or other software is blocking a proper installation of the tool SlimDx

Hello,

Probably there is a bad line in the code. Check it.

The game has an specific path where the saved files are located. Curse the developers will not help at all. How I can see you have almost 80 hours played, when the issue started?

Hello,

Did you change anything in your pc config and OS before the crashes start appearing?

Regards

Probably your antivirus or firewall is blocking a proper saving of the game. Check the rights or try to launch the game as administrator.

Who designed this campaign? What am i supposed to learn here? The store page shows rows and rows of steampunk machinery and high rise walls, where are they? How am i supposed to enjoy this horribly impoverished and poorly designed game? Am i supposed to abuse mechanics somehow?

Hello,

There are much more than 2 kinds of troops in the game, probably you didn't pass the first steps in the campaing that is just a little tutorial to learn how to play. Check also survival mode.

I'm super curious about where these things are said because it has to be really funny to read them

Originally posted by simonhobnob: I have the GOG version of the game. A few months ago, I had played the campaign three times at higher difficulty levels without a single issue.

However, today, when I wanted to start a new game, the game has stutters on the first level every 20 or so seconds. It pauses, then continues as if nothing happened. This occurs if I am controlling units or moving the camera withhout anything selected.

I have a 7800X3D, 3070 and 32 gigs of ram,

The only difference is that I updated my drivers to the latest ones from Nvidia (and the Nvidia app) - after doing a DDU to remove the old.

I do no appear to have any issues with any of the other games I've played recently (Such as Mass ef...

Hello,

You have the option in the main map menu to make backup of your progress if you want to check the research you decide. After the test you can return to the back point if you didn't like your choice.

Hello,

Could you please attach an screenshot to know the precise place where you hero got stuck?

Also, always you can restart your mission in the menu panel.

Regards

Where did you choose such option?

Thanks for the report.

Do you use any of these programs After Burner or Riva-Tuner Statistics Server?

Is your setting 2 monitors or just one?

Hello

Have you tried a lower resolution?

There are really good campaigns done by some users, check the Workshop

Originally posted by Heresy: I got this game last night. Played for about 5 hours straight. Had no issues of any kind. Now When I try to play the game crashes on Mission Start. It will load about 1/3 of the bar and then hard crash to desktop every time. Even on a brand new campaign.

I tried verifying the game files and deleted the config file and nothing works. I dont get it.

If you play locally in just one machine, disable Steam cloud that usually brings along this issue.
