My game now crashes before starting after the Beyond the Hive update has landed

Issue Type (Required):

Crash - on Launch

Issue Description (Required):

Hi. After downloading the new update, my game won’t start anymore. It seems to happen for some other players as well. The Launcher starts, but right after I click the Play button it crashes immediately with a non-descriptive error message (attached). I’ve verified integrity of the files using the Steam’s feature, it didn’t help.

The error it throws:

Hi, @FatsharkJulia

Thank you for your prompt response. I did indeed have a parameter added there, and removing it has solved the issue. The problem is, it was “–lua-heap-mb-size 4096” - which is widley suggested on forums as a “solution” to frequent memory-related crashes that has been haunting DT for a while, and which I experienced often (though adding it didn’t prevent them from occurring, but it seemed like their frequency wend down).

If I can’t supply it via that property any longer, what do you suggest to do in this case? What other options are there?

I don’t have any recommendations at this time, but I’ve raised it with the team.

You can set it to 2048. I can confirm game runs with it. I had 4096 before as well and same issue as you. The default is 1024 (when no parameter present).

I’ll try it, thanks

EDIT:
Seems to work so far, thanks again.
