Gloomhaven has finally released on Steam. The game is a treat for turn-based dungeon crawler fans, but there are certain errors and bugs with the game that’s preventing some players from enjoying the game to the fullest. Some of the errors are the Gloomhaven Unity error crash, black screen in certain modes, and the corrupt save issues. There is also a variety of other save issues with the game that’s acknowledged. But, until there is a patch to fix these errors, you can rely on some of the solutions we have shared. With some luck, they will work for you and you can continue playing the game.
Fix Gloomhaven Unity Error Crash
Unity error crash is common in games that use the Unity engine and most of the time it’s an issue caused by a fault at the user’s end. One of the quickest fixes for the Unity crash is to uninstall the game, remove all the files associated with the game like the save, config, etc. that’s stored in the Documents folder and then, reinstall the game. If you are hesitant to reinstall the game, just delete the game folder in Documents and attempt to play the game. That should help resolve the Gloomhaven unity error crash.
If the above did not resolve the error the issue may be caused by third-party software. We suggest that you perform a clean boot so everything is disabled and then, launch the game. If the game launches fine, start one application at a time to identify the problem-causing software. Here are the steps to perform a clean boot.
- Press Windows Key + R and type msconfig, hit Enter
- Go to the Services tab
- Check Hide all Microsoft services
- Now, click Disable all
- Go to the Startup tab and click on Open Task Manager
- Disable one task at a time and restart the system.
When you get the unity crash, it could also be because of the GPU being unstable. The GPU can become unstable due to outdated or corrupted driver software, overclocking, or running out of resources to support a game. Hence, ensure that the GPU driver is updated, do not overclock, and try to play the game on lower settings. We also suggest that you cap the FPS at 60 using the Nvidia control panel.
Sometimes overlays can also cause the problem, so ensure that Steam and other overlays are turned off.
Gloomhaven Black Screen in Campain Mode
One of the reasons for the Gloomhaven black screen in certain game modes is because the game requires the Media Player to play videos. Media Player needs to be activated on your OS and set as the default software.
The fix for the black screen is to install the Media Feature Pack. Here is how to do it. Press Windows Key + I to get to Settings > Apps > Open Apps and Features > Optional Features > click Add a Feature > find Media Feature Pack.
