Working version as of THIS MOMENT

for what ever reason, the upload for
this game on IGG seems to crash
(even tho it should be the same) as
the version in this link.
however, the link i shared in this comment
is the same link SO MANY OTHERS are using
and not having the crash issues.

so, idk if something is going on when i email
this to IGG for upload, or if i somehow made a mistake
somewhere. but this is the version that works
(some may crash) idk, but ive yet had anyone
say this version crashed! (there is several uploads in
my gdrive, so thus the confusion)

if @roosevelt2362 can grab this and
do a reupload, to hopefully resolve the
crashing issues others still have that
would be fine with me. as im not sure
what else the issue could be since
sending this link thru gmail/proton/email
in general seems to have some effect
on the crashing which is strange but
afaict thats the only difference between
the link shared here VS whats sent to
IGGs email address.

the game has an antipiracy measure that deletes the game folder after 1 or 2 in-game days.

Yeah I have no idea how other people get it too work, I tried the re-extracting after the game crashes twice now and it consistently crashes after 1-2 in-game days. After playing through and doing it again after the re-extraction doesn't do anything for me consistently within 15 minutes it crashes.

"they" aint gonna do anything,
nobody is working on this.
one person actually, but they
cant get it packed back up into
a proper exe again. it refuses to
compile. so, try different versions of this,
or buy it. im 42 days into mine, and havent
crashed yet, others are just as far if not farther.

(they used the link i shared?) which should NOT
matter since i sent that same link to IGG.
either way, nobody is messing with this.
its alot of work for someone to do this for free.
when the games cheap enough.

Hi!
i've just downloaded FIXED version and FIXED.2 version
but, I too, always encounter the same error.
It crash after first night.

reextract the game, if you crash.
its usually good after that.

the main issue, the crash is random.
but most the time after the first crash,
itll work without crashing again.
im on day 16 without another crash.

just so its clear, there is no other
fix at this time sadly, unless reverting
back to the Early access version.

you can use the link i shared to the
others in the comments if you wish.
although whats uploaded here
on IGG should be the same thing.
as to what i shared with the others
that have no issues and are finished
or WEEKS into the game at this point..
(in game weeks)..

restart the game, usually crashes
1 time. then you should be good.

use the link shared in comments,
just for sanity sake. if it crashes
once, re extract leaving the prior
files, just overwrite whatever it
asks. then you should be good.
(upload vs what i shared) should
be the same however so idk.

with the version you uploaded, i crashed.
(within 10min)
but with the file i had in my gdrive im on
like day 5 with a 20 min run. im curious if
the save file i also removed from what i sent you
had something to do with it... bc this is strange.

or i sent you guys the wrong one...
either way, the one i shared in the comment
here to Zkiller691 is correct.
(they need to manually remove
the save files themselves....
so the tutorial shows up,
and their resolution works proper.

how long were you playing
before it happened?

try this (left save files which is the only
change i made after i was informed
by a few users it was working for them)
*if you dont remove those, the tutorial doesnt
show up, and you start off 6 days in)
so remove all inside the save folder
located in
erminus\Terminus\steamapps\common\Terminus\saves\save_1

i changed the link, so make sure
you get the right one...
i.e. as soon as you commented
i updated the link.

if it still crashes, then it must be intermittent.
i had no issues on this version either.
(same version just a few things missing).
either way, if it doesnt work... then ive
no idea, and am sorry.

the one thing i didnt check,
i moved the game to my steam
folder (as if it would had came from
steam). im not sure if the others
just downloaded and played
it where they downloaded it to.

if that doesnt work, then im bowing out.
to many DMs stating they havent
crashed, and a few in comments.

No, thats a PROBLEM!
i must have emailed the wrong
stuff. or me manually removing the
save files before sending it
had some kind of effect.

its strange. bc i too crashed with
what they shared. so im lost.
but with what i shared (re downloaded)
and removed the saves myself, i never crashed.
i did set time to move FASTER so i could crash
sooner if it were to happen but, so far...

game is not fully cracked if it has a antipiracy measure that will crash it about 30 minutes in and then screws with your files and deletes things, it's just not. You'll have to agree.

Also by the looks of it'll take time to find a solution for this one since no one on cs rin or elsewhere has any idea how to deal with this in a competent manner.

(remove all files, folders inside that folder)!
link should take you to gdrive!
then lmk how far you get! original upload is from IGG
ive changed a few things, using others as ginnie pigs,
since i played for 2 hours or so
plus, i just dont
like these kinds of games... either way, if you play
and dont have issues let me know!

otherwise, if its fixed, ill continue to

for those having issues,
if you crash. Re-extract the game.
i crashed one time, after that ive had no issues.
(on day 50 now around 4hrs in) but still.
Do yourself a favor, and backup
the save folder every so often
and keep the packed rar around
its small, so its doable that way,
you have a way to continue where you
left off. you can also make ALL files inside
\Terminus\Terminus\steamapps READ only.
(highlight all files/folders in that dir
and right click, hit properties,
hid "read only" apply. hit yes
if it asks to apply to sub folders etc!!

The best way for you to prevent the crash is back up your files the 1st 10 mins in game. If the game doesn't crash then you'll be fine if not delete the save file and replace the folder back with the back ups. The fixes of @Craxton definitely works. Here's the prop:
Uploaded Image
You can start modding the game in this version as well but I didn't check If I can add more stuffs into the game or not but right now you can change the stats of the foods,vehicles, etc...Furthermore, axe and fireaxe are so OP in this game. They literally kill everything in 1 hit even the hardest zombie.
The guns are quite trash due to the lack of ammu and most of the time you need at least 2 shots to kill a single zom while you can just 1 tap them with the axes.

Definitely! I messed up the game while adding some new foods and crafting recipes in the json lil bit and the game crashed lol. Turn out some of the stats could not be changed unless I can find the root or the database of them. I thought I'm totally cooked at that time but I changed them back right away so It's fine now.

The crash was my fault because I changed the decay rate. Now i know the rate in the json doesn't work lol. I still don't know why people keep telling the fixed version doesn't work. This game is so addictive tho also I hope we can buy furniture or move them in the future too

i find it hard to stay interested,
people complain about food.
but, my only issue is mfn water.
ive been all over hell have 40 empty
bottles across my time playing.
and have yet to find a lake to fill these
mfrs up so i have fresh water.
(constantly near death due to lack
of water) either way, hopefully the others
get a chance to try it out. longer than
an in game day or two (10/15 min) lol.

you can change decay rate in
custom settings for the map you
load in btw
as well as customize every
literal thing.

when did you download?

if youve not re-downloaded
in the passed 12 hours, do so.
if you have, reextract and run it
again.

btw, make these two folders,
and paste the games files there
(the first files you see to where
your able to play the game
)

\steamapps\Terminus
just copy/paste. that may help.
but, it may not... you may re try
the game (after extracting again,
bc it removes stuff) and it work fine
forver.

In fact, the friend who left you a message meant that the game will automatically delete the file, as well as key files such as archives, and then crash with an error message. Even if the network is disconnected, it will be ineffective. I have tried everything and preliminarily judged that it is the program's built-in detection system, which may have multiple detection stages.

I don't think so, man. I totally agree with @wuder because I did test the game by idling it for around 10 mins. The game just automatically crashed after I exited it due to the missing of version_info.json and the whole game got corrupted as well. Furthermore, I tried to back up the files that the game removed from it but no luck because there is some kind of protection preventing people from replacing them.

Yes. Pretty sure man. This is so weird. Here is the test from 10 mins of playing without idle. Crashed around 10 mins like it did before. Idle or not the result is the same. There should be something that triggered the protection.

if its not, then ill remove the files

you should also remove the save files
located in (remove it all inside that folder)
that way the tutorial and native res
work proper.

so, i just had this happen...
its not only removing the json
file everyone keeps bringing up.
its removing alot of shit...
but i never crashed. i just closed
the game trying not to save wtf id done.
and when i reopened it, i noticed
i was missing files. as i was going to upload
the files, with the changes id made.
however, i do have the other which
is where i was playing.. so i may be mistaken
on which is what... its late here after all..
never the less, the one that hasnt removed
the data/folders etc. i removed a few lines
that were http something that pointed
to the devs? im not sure, but they
were for the game in some sort.
if it turns out the changes i made
(after that happened) works, ill share
it here.

a small work around for the time being,
download it twice, and make backups of your
save folder every 10/20 min... as i said tho,
im not sure if im on the right folder
for which one i was recently playing. as
the time frame mentioned on the folder
says "thats not it"...

Ye i think so. Many of them got removed and corrupted. Imma give it a try. Also, did your game change the type of the file after it crashed? Because for me It's impossible to replace them with the old files.
Edit: Tks you so much. I think it works man. The changes work. I did a backup save at the 10mins mark and give it a go for 20 mins at the time I made this comment and no crash or whatsoever.

The current method is to back up the archive file every ten minutes, delete the damaged version, and re extract a new version. It's quite laborious, but that's how it works

I don't have much time to finish the game and yet I'm pretty sure to say at this point the problem is solved by your method. The fixed version is safe to use. Tested by quitting the game constantly to make sure the in-game file corruption wouldn't triggered and I did idle for 30 minutes and still no crash.

VIPTrustedHelperCraxton
it doesnt give me an option to reply to your latest reply.
so, ill reply here.

i understand limited time... quite well actually lol
as for idle time, i dont believe that triggers it.
although i could be wrong. i could simply re download
the version currently present on IGG and allow it to
run in the background, if it crashes while idle
then id call the removed call back, and other
changes made resolved.

either way, ill email IGG and see if he wishes
to reupload this with the changes. then
itll be on a wider scale to know 100% if its
resolved. (resolved would be not needing to
backup saves, files, folder and stuff.)
just download, extract, play and forget
any issues due to cracking issues.
either way, glad i could help!
