Crash at start "Fatal: Invalid value (1281)"
« on: January 12, 2020, 04:03:50 PM »

Hi guys, i just bought the game and i can`t start it. Crash at start with error: "Fatal: Invalid value (1281)" does anybody knows what it could be?

This is the part of the log with error i think:

Hi - sorry about the trouble! First thing I'd suggest is updating your graphics drivers, this looks like that sort of error.

That might help, yeah.

Before that, I'd try running the game as admin, and in compatibility mode for windows 95, XP, and 7.

Looks like another user had the same problem long ago and solved it by disabling anti-aliasing externally through their graphics control panel. I saw on the discord that you tried disabling anti-aliasing via the settings file, but it might be worth a shot anyway.

Hey I recently found out why my game couldn't start I had to mess around with my 3d Intel setting and turn off the anti-aliasing

Oh, hmm - might also be worth a shot trying to turn off vsync via data/config/settings.json, changing this line:

"vsync":true,

to

"vsync":false,

Unless you've already tried that. Chances are this would just give us a slightly different error message. Sundog's suggestion seems to have a higher chance of actually helping.

Did you try a driver rollback?

Also: do you happen to be running MSI Afterburner? That's known to cause issues with the game.

What video card do you even have specifically? And does your system also have an IGPU present?

Was just talking to someone over email with the same exact issue - for them, turning off the "ROG STRIX GPU Tweak II monitor app" they had running resolved it.

I have RTX2070, and i was just doing that "turning off the "ROG STRIX GPU Tweak II monitor app" because you mentioned MSI Afterburner and now runs yeah!!! But UI is a bit small and is hard to read, when i try smaller res. like 1600x900 i can`t get it over the hole screen it hangs up in the corner.

For that, can you try the fix in the last post in this thread? Should do the job.
