I have a problem with the game I downloaded every time I enter to the light house where you get the Glyph of Light the game stops and a window appears with the message Kain2.exe stopped working I need help with this bug

I had a similar problem in another place. It crashed in the same place, everytime I walked in physical form multiple times (near a big platform before the first boss Melchaiah), so what I did (as a last resort) was to try again in spectral form, and the game didn't crash that time, and I was able to continue with the game.

Try again in spectral form...

I know it isn't much help, but it should be noted that the Lighthouse area is optional.

If Azreals method doesn't work and you want to still do this area you may need to use a different/earlier save file and retrace your steps.


It seems that for some reason on this version of the game that if you save right after some cutscenes the game file will corrupt and will crash at the same spot over and over and over again. I THINK, ASSUME..etc. that the coding may be confused and part of it is trying to re-activate that cutscene but since you are actually past it, it just causes a crash to the game. The crash points typically seem to be where a cutscene normally cuts into the game.

I would suggest making multiple saves and try to save if possible only after bosses or events areas you have no purpose to go back to. This way if you say beat Melchiah and save right after you beat him in his chamber. You aren't likely ever to return to his chamber, therefore you aren't likely to trigger any crash.

I had crash near the lighthouse today. Switching to spirit realm was a valid workaround and I managed to get my rune.

There is threads from wrace on Steam where also saves fixing entioned. Not sure what he is fix (when i discuss it there, looks liek some else issues). There is issue in PC version that allow load save in wrong world. And crashed immediatly or few moments later.

Also there is some places that devs forgot to put some path block. Something near bossfights.

I guess very first or secon dsave moment (second porrtal) is bugged. Not sure, didnt remember, First portal should work only to ghost world and it did work. Second one can be bugged.
Changinf world should be enough to complete game and visit every optional places. No game braking bugs
