Hello.

I'm experiencing a Startup crash and wanted to give the people a Chance to help me with this.
I'll attach an Image. This error message is all I get whenever I try to start the game.
The game is trying to reach a file in E:\Lost Ember but it is installed in E:\GOGGames\LostEmber
My Machine runs Windows 11.
Is there a fix for this besides reinstalling the entire game to E:\Lost Ember ?
I haven't tried if that would even work in this case yet.
But I would do it as a last resort before trying to get a refund.

I hope someone can help me with this.

Thanks,
Korato

Edit 1:
Putting it in E:\ didn't work either. I found the Discord from the Devs tho. I'll ask on there for an answer and share it here once I get one.

Edit 2:
A developer found a Working Workaround for this. If you have the same Problems as I had try the Following:

Go to
C:\Users[username]\AppData\Local\LostEmber\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor

Within it you will find a File called Engine.ini.
Edit it using a Text Editor of your choosing.
Add the following lines at the Bottom of the File (DONT Change anything else within the file)

[SystemSettings]
r.D3D11.UseAllowTearing=0
r.D3D12.UseAllowTearing=0



If this still didn't fix your Problem try running the game in DirectX12 by adding -dx12 to a Shortcut. (Or write it in the Arguments for the game if you use Steam)

I had the same issue but editing the .ini file fixed it for me as well. However, after switching the resolution in the in-game menu, the screen froze and the bottom of the screen (specifically the area where windows taskbar is) started to flicker.

This happens now every time I start the game.

I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling the game but that did'nt fix the issue. Anything else I could try?

Edit: Found a fix for this:

In C:\Users[username]\AppData\Local\LostEmber\Saved\Config\GameUserSettings.ini, changing the value from 0 to 1 in the following lines fixed it for me:

FullscreenMode=1
LastConfirmedFullscreenMode=1
PreferredFullscreenMode=1
