After reading the comments I have to ask, does this include the second hotfix or only the first?
I still have not downloaded, will wait if the second hotfix is not included?

The game was updated again today. Hotfix - Hotfix2 - Patch 1 and today's Patch 2.

IGG has not yet updated the files. You can follow from the title. After updating, it will say Patch2 there.

Possible fixes for people with stuck on load

  1. redownload the game if you downloaded before 1/19

  2. Add the game to steam as a non steam game then add this commend to the launch options

-noasync

Looks like this:

In order to put in a command in the Steam Launch Options, right click on New Cycle, then click on the properties menu. At the bottom of this menu, there is a Launch Options text box. Type in the command into this bow, then close the menu; launch New Cycle as normal. This should fix any loading issues you are having with this new survival game. Hopefully this will be fixed soon.

Ill keep looking for fixes in my spare time.

just a f y i your cpu and ram is the minimum the game will run at

Processor: Intel Core i5-4590 @ 3.3 GHz | AMD FX 8320 @ 3.5 GHz
Memory: 8 GB RAM

So it might take a little longer to load, but shouldnt be stuck in the infinity loop, try the 2 fixes I posted and lmk

Your pc is better than mine.

I seen others on both Win10 and 11 having issues. Did you download the game at all before the 2nd hotfix? I am wondering if the hotfix didnt take affect because the old on still exists in the appdata

I dont think this will work but try this,

Go to C:\Users\tooth\AppData\LocalLow(in windows 10 you may need to unhide hidden folders to access this)

replace tooth with your user name Or type %appdata% to get there

After uninstalling the game be sure you delete this folder too

Core Engage Software Inc

Then reinstall. It's worth a try, but I dont think it will have any bearing tbh

Open your task manager and see if the game is not responding. Both you and the other person have issues, hes intel your amd, so it's not limited to handwear type.

Also redownload the file from this page. It is possible that the admins reuploaded the fix after you downloaded it.

Not helpful my guy. Atleast they are posting specs, let's try and help our fellow gaming brother and sisters.

I dont claim I can fix issues, but I do like to try and help, we are all here cause money is precious and we try before we buy. Every game I chose to keep from this website I have bought, but this site has saved me some bad purchases.

So Ill try and help ppl to keep that helping vibe.

I just bought the PC with these. I want to upgrade, but money's tight. Also in my country pc parts/ electronics aren't cheap.

Long ago I realized half the "it dont work" comments are by newbies that dont know what they are doing or people using toasters.

Works fine. Upgrade your toasters

So are you implying that a simple extraction and executing an exe file is as hard as it goes? or are hotfixes just redundant optimizations? One more thing, is this a finished AAA game that you really need to upgrade your toaster or just a game on alpha stage? That's the issue with new games nowadays, most of them req tons of resources while looking like stardew valley and factorio or from a 2002 game. Well, I'll be playing from my potato pc then.

As a 41 year old firmware engineer who has been doing things like this since I was in middle school (I remember having to manually set IRQ and DMA addresses of your hardware in DOS to get games to work correctly) and only on PC's that I've built myself I agree with him. Every time I see people having problems with cracked games I never have a problem. The only conclusion I can draw from this is that their computer is inferior or they just don't know what they are doing.

Maybe as a typical american citizen, but certainly not the case for usual pirates. We scour games on multiple sites and search abit for troubleshooting problems. Most users who complained here anyway have sufficient specs and as you can see the problem is not in the hardware and computer literacy but more on the developer side. And also my potato is ryzen 3 3200 16g ram rx580 and an ssd. Even though that really is a potato, I didn't encounter problems playing this while sticking to medium graphics.

People saying it loads forever, but they are not saying their specs. Games that load slow are usually on a SATA drive. Need SSD atleast if not NVME to avoid super timers.

recommended settings

Processor: Intel Core i5-7400 @ 3.0 GHz | AMD Ryzen 5 2600X @ 3.6 GHz
Memory: 16 GB RAM
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER | AMD RX 5700-XT or better

Devs already released a hotfix to fix the other load issue

If people having issues would actually state their system config, maybe some of us geeks would try and offer possible support in our free time.

But most just say doesnt work, when more than half the time it's user/operator error.

I love cractorio btw

It doesn't work because it keeps charging indefinitely. Waiting more than 40 minutes on the screen with the information "The first launch will take some time, please wait." Running the program as administrator, I already deleted everything and downloaded it again via torrent and link, and the same situation remains!Uploaded Image

I don't know if any group released it, just got the info from the Steam page.

There seems to be a discussion going on here with some people saying it works and other saying it doesn't.
Some people say it's because the game not being on ssd or the pc not meeting the game specs.

It seems the cause isn't so cut and dry, some people have the issue mentioned others don't, with no clear connection to ssd or other specs.
I have a medium to high end pc and have the game on a fast ssd and have the issue.

My friend's pc has the bare minimum game specs and he has the game on hdd and plays it without an issue.
