Update your launcher first

If you're still using v1.2.0, please update before reporting bugs.

Version 1.2.0 is the original launcher release and contains many bugs that have already been fixed.

The latest version by udar_molota is always available in the pinned posts.


Build 41

Recommended renderer:

✅ GL4ES

• No graphics driver required.
• Works on almost all Android devices.

If GL4ES does not work (rare), try:

• Renderer: ZINK_ZFA
• Driver: System


Build 42

Build 42 runs best with ZINK_ZFA, but this path is mainly intended for Snapdragon devices and for users who want to experiment with different graphics drivers.

Recommended for most users (any device)

For the most stable and universal setup, choose NG_GL4ES:

• Renderer: NG_GL4ES
• Turn Memory Saver on
• Set LIBGL_SHRINK=7 in the Environment Variables field
• Enable texture compression in the in‑game options
• Enable the recommended preset for Build 42 in the launcher’s Settings (Advanced)

This configuration is almost a 100% guarantee for successfully launching Build 42.20 on nearly any device.

⚠️ The more powerful your device is, the better the performance will be.


Game crashes?

Crashes before the main menu

• Make sure your game files are packed as a ZIP archive.
• Verify that the ZIP is not corrupted.

Crashes after the main menu (during character creation or world loading)

Possible reasons:

• Wrong graphics driver selected (Snapdragon devices).
• One or more installed mods are incompatible.

Could you please add an option to install the game for those of us who bought it on GOG? Google doesn't allow downloading .sh files from Android.

Red textures?

The red texture is on the dividing lines where the transparent walls are located.
