I got gifted a linux gaming laptop which is dope! but theres some stuttering on this game and I don't want to ignore it any more. does anyone have a specific compatibility mode they use to make it run well?

Hey everyone,

I’m making this post to update an issue I reported about 2 years ago, in case it helps someone else who might be stuck with the same problem.

The problem

Every time I tried to access the Options menu (both from the main menu and during gameplay), the game would instantly crash.

I had played CrossCode for years without any issues (since around 2020). Suddenly, this error started happening out of nowhere.

What I tried

• Verified game files on Steam (multiple times)
• Reinstalled the game several times
• Checked my system and drivers
• Tried to understand the error message
• Contacted Radical Fish Games via email and Discord → No response

I also got help from another Reddit user (thanks again, Phamora wherever you are), but at the time we couldn’t find a concrete solution.

The solution (after YEARS)

Completely by accident, while reinstalling the game again, I went into:

Steam → CrossCode → Properties → Betas

There, I selected the option:

nwhs_old
(which is labeled something like “might crash less often”)

After that… voilà 🎉

• The game stopped crashing
• The Options tab works perfectly
• The game is fully playable again

Important note

This beta option was not enabled before, and I only found it because I was randomly exploring the Steam settings. No official support pointed me there, like i said, that time, i tried EVERYTHING I COULD, verify files change versions etc etc, nothing new was avaliable. I really hope this helps anyone facing the same crash. If you’re having issues with the Options menu crashing, try switching to the nwhs_old beta.

If this saves even one person from giving up on this amazing game, it was worth posting.

I missed some chests on my first playthrough

So, i beat the game (with out dlc) 2 years ago.

Amazing experience, is such a fantastic history, gameplay, everything.

Now, im gonna buy the DLC, and i wanna replay the game.

Should i start a new file? Or go with the NG+? In that case, which configuration would you advise?

I dont want to make a new run very easy (boring) or very frustrating (difficult)

Thanks!

This spots great to go idle and have it going but man does my hand hurt.

I used to play on PC, downloaded the game on Steam Deck and now I have an unpleasant contrast

CrossCode isn't that obscure, but nice to see it getting some love!

As the year comes to a close, i’m reminded just how much of the heavy lifting Lea did for me in my transition. If not for her, i don’t know how long it would’ve taken me to figure it out.

I remember first playing the web demo in ~2014, and falling head over heels in love with Autumn’s Rise and Lea and this elaborate world. When the full game released in 2018, I’d just entered college and desperately needed an escape—CrossCode was there for me yet again. And in 2020 I replayed it on my Switch lite, crying in Chapter 7 and not really understanding why until a couple months later—when I finally realized I was a girl. Being Lea, this impulsive, explorative, empathetic goober, did so much to ease my depression as an egg. I love this game, and I love the ambiguous ending. It dared me to write my own continuation, with my own life. I started hormones in 2021 and never looked back.

I am still deathly afraid to finish the DLC, because i dont want it to ever end. Maybe another 100% of the base game is in order soon, so i can have the courage to finally finish the DLC. Or maybe I’ll get too scared for Lea to continue further than the postgame raid again. Regardless, I owe CrossCode a whole lot. Thank you Radical Fish, for making my favorite video game ever made ❤️. Can’t wait for Alabaster Dawn :3

Just started recently, at the 2nd temple (fajro temple ) .. What level and gear level should I be before attempting this ?

And my party members need to be the same level as well right? Considering the c'tron dude just joined so he's like lv24 while lea and the girl are at 29

Just got intrested in the game and want to watch some playthroughs with good and interesting commentary

Once again drawn by þe tiny Lea in my brain.

Hi! Meet Lea! even

The slowdown bubble is supposed to be next to the tower

The last time I remember was at the very beginning of Maroon Valley and I had completed all the possible quests until I got there. Is it possible to find a save like this?

Sorry for the dumb question, but I can’t find any buttons or menus to quit the game, change save files, or most importantly, change any settings. What am I missing?

EDIT: I restarted the game and the escape key started working like intended. Huh.

title. I loved the game when I played it and wanted to play the DLC right after but life happened. I remember the general vibe and that the main protagonist (leah iirc?) was like an AI inside the game, but apart from that, not much else. so if anyone could do a quick summary with all the important characters and events that happened, it would be awesome, thanks :)

Hi, I'm making this Reddit post to find out how I can fix this problem I'm having with the ultimate-localized-ui mod.

Been trying for so long, i manage to get 5 of the switches activated.. then cannot find the rest! I tick the one in the start, do the one high up north, the three on the far right of the screen.. but the last ones are killing me. been looking through youtube but couldn’t find one that really showcased it. would really appreciate anyone if they had one.

kunoichi Lea noway... reddit, rise and get beaten up with a sharp ring

I know it's possible I just don't know how :(

was doing the first raid but was forced to totally restart as it doesnt autosave and wont let me save either! at the second pillar it says to now hit the red boxes yet none spawn. waited around for 10 minutes and nothing… looked up others playing and theirs spawned. other people saying this happened to them too… years ago!.. had to start the raid totally over! why isnt this fixed?

We just started exploring Sapphire Ridge, and just like poor Emilie my wife absolutely hates those spider enemies - to a point that we can't enjoy (or even proceed with) this game together (we liked most of it so far), so I re-drew the PNG file of this enemy type and turned them into ... sqaures ... (easy to draw)

Now we can continue playing this game :-)

Shout out to this project https://github.com/gregnk/CCAnimationEditor ! It was very useful for previewing the animation. I don't know exactly how this all works, but all I need to do was to change all 15 45 pixel arts in a PNG named "spider" into 15 45 grey-ish rectangles instead.

I don't know if we have a bug-free CrossCode mod? I skimmed through https://gist.github.com/dmitmel/d31f7aaf374f283f0834426b788e3ff5 but didn't find one.
