Crashing on Startup on PC

If the game crashes on startup and does not open an error log text file, you can try the following:

Make sure XNA Redistributable is installed
Steam should automatically install it, but you can also get it officially from here[www.microsoft.com].

Try the OpenGL Branch in Steam
Do this by Right Clicking the game in Steam -> Properties-> Betas -> Select "opengl" from the dropdown.

If neither of these work and you do not get any error, feel free to post a topic and we can try to sort it out.

Even though it wasn't on startup, the OpenGL branch solved no error log crashes I was getting. Happened like 5 times before I got to Theo in chapter 1. Several times on screen transitions and once while talking to Theo just before the line where it zooms in. Both full screen and windowed. Steam also thought it was still running for a little bit after the crashes. No crashes so far after switching up to chapter 3 now.

Opengl fixed it for me.

Devs should fix this asap. I was close to refuding it and wait for a discount on nintendo switch.
You guys might loose sales because of this. Because if you buy a game and can't start it many ppl will just refund and pirate a working version of it.

The game has a crash/hang on startup problem in Fullscreen mode on the XNA/DirectX version (default) on Windows 10. Disable Fullscreen Optimizations on Celeste.exe (found in game's root directory) allows the game to start in Fullscreen mode.

Edit: This issue seems to occur with Realtek Audio drivers (UAD) with Sonic Studio or Sonic Radar (UWP). Uninstalling Sonic Studio/Radar apps (UWP) seems to fix Celeste startup problems.

Nice, turning on Disable Fullscreen Optimizations worked for me as well. I have Realtek Audio with Nahimic (UWP) installed, a different sound optimizing application.

Hi, I have this problem and I will like to know how to solve it. I already tried launching the game with the -opengl- option, but still nothing...
