Hi there! Just wanna expose the fact that even tho I tried multiple times to run the SP2 Playtest but it wouldnt go past the "Loading..." screen. It'd then crash and UnityCrashHandler was the only other file running besides the main SP2 exe. Seems everyone had a lot of fun and will get prizes, etc. I'll wait till March 2026 then. I reinstalled it multiple times through Steam but nothing ever changed. Today is the last day and its still the same. I am sincerely happy everyone got to have fun it in regardless, and sorry if this is unnecessary. If this happened to anyone else, youre not alone. And also, its not my PC's fault. It meets the System Requirements very well. Thats it :)
@AndrewGarrison Well, I even went to Intel's official website, etc, and it seems my drivers all set up. No updates for them. I'll likely need something more powerful than my laptop to run it it seems hehe. Thank you anyway!
P.S.: WAIT I thought of a thing! It was said the game would have customizable graphics settings right? Could there be implemented a way of setting the graphic settings BEFORE launching it? Like as a Steam setting, beta, anything? That could maybe help! SP1 runs just fine so making those graphics achievable in future SP2 Playtests before running the game could do the trick for simple-PC users like me...
@AndrewGarrison Well, ok! Imma try finding which drivers those should be and how to update them. Thank you man! See you all in the "next playtest" then! God Bless you! :DDD
@BRNavyPilot The minimum system requirements for SP2 on Steam include a dedicated GPU. Since your system uses integrated graphics, that’s likely the cause of the crashing. You can try updating your graphics drivers to see if that helps during the next playtest, but the game may still have performance and stability issues without a dedicated GPU.
@jamesPLANESii Which drivers exactly?
@AndrewGarrison My pc is in Portuguese so the DxDiag displays everything in Portuguese too but imma write it down:
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-5200U CPU @ 2.20GHz
RAM: 8GB
Storage: 112GB SSD
GPU: Intel(R) HD Graphics 5500 (128MB)
Free space at the time I installed SP2 PT: ~6GB
DirectX version (according to DxDiag): DirectX 12 (I thought it was 11 but alr thats what it says)
Thank you for replying! :D
Did you update your drivers? I had a similar experience before I updated them. Didn't have a crash since
Sorry to hear you weren’t able to run the playtest. Could you share your computer specs? If you’re using integrated graphics, that might be the issue since the game requires a dedicated GPU. It could also help to update your graphics drivers, as outdated ones often cause crashes during loading.
