Game crashes after entering password, Steam version

[Zengeroff]

Had no issues whatsoever playing the game until this new patch came.

It asks for me to send a report so I did that.

Can't get in to the game. Even rebooted my PC.

[Zengeroff]

To be clear, it was playing fine yesterday.

Today when I boot up, it downloaded a new .exe and a 600+ MB patch of some sort which absolutely broke my game.

I cant even get to the character selection screen.

[Zengeroff]

Suppose I'll wait til the end of the day to delete and redownload.

Though I doubt that'll do anything. I've literally never solved a problem with a game by reinstalling it.

This sucks. Stop breaking shit ED.

Nest please tell them to fix this.

[Zengeroff]

Well.......

Isnt that something. I boot it up on my wifes PC and it didnt download anything and lo' and behold, it works.

Fuck, seriously?

This is stupid.

[Zengeroff]

Question, why the hell did my game download a patch if theres no need yet?

Did you accidentally publish a patch before time and pull it really quick?

My wifes game didn't download anything and she hasnt played in days...

Ugh, shit like this is irritating.

[PatMcgrath]

I'm literally having this exact same issue right now as we speak, only my patch downloaded waay sooner like 3 days ago. Now i also cant get past the character selection screen. It downloaded a random as patch for me aswell.......I reinstalled everything and it still doesn't work so don't waste ur time

[Zengeroff]

Well, at least we know we aren't alone.

No idea why it downloaded a patch. I've played for years and this has never happened to me, or anyone else that I'm aware of, at least not until now.

Maybe they'll see this and fix it.

[PatMcgrath]

it was so odd tbh, cause after it patched so many of my other games started getting updates too......idek tbh i'm sure it has nothing to do with dn. but yea hopefully they see this

[Zengeroff]

Yeah I noticed that too.

Several of my games, Tales of Berseria, Tales of Zestiria, Shining Force Refrain, and Skyrim Special Edition all show that they updated and downloaded 0 bytes.

[PatMcgrath]

i just installed it separately from steam and it works fine......so its definitely on steams end thats causing this issue

[Zengeroff]

Installing it again via steam, if it doesn't work then I'll do it from the main site.

Thanks much for the information

[Zengeroff]

Can definitely confirm.

Its the steam version.

I dont know how or why, but it is severely broken.

A full reinstall patched and did the same exact thing.

Having to uninstall and reinstall this crap twice in the same day. Lovely.

[Zengeroff]

Good news is that all my other games are fine.

Bad news is that DN on steam is absolutely broken.

[PatMcgrath]

yup had a gut feeling it was steam smh

[Zengeroff]

I don't believe it is steam.

It's the steam version of DN, not steam itself since every other game is fine.

I literally spent hours checking this out today.

[superkleenex]

I just patched and have the exact same issue. I can start the game, then I enter my credentials, then 4 digit PIN, and then error report.

I do not use Steam, I use the DN Launcher.

[Zengeroff]

What hardware are you using, if you don't mind my asking?
