Schurke Genesia – How to Fix Unity Crash on Startup

Unity’s ‚gemeinsam‘ Ausgabe.

I’ve failed multiple times while trying to launch the game, getting a black screen and then a flicker of a ‚Unity has crashed‘ popup, or even getting a black screen with the game’s cursor for several seconds (making me think it would work) and have had a lot of trouble finding a solution. It seems Unity has a fairly ‚gemeinsam‘ Ausgabe, which from my understanding is from Unity itself and not something a particular developper can fix.

When Unity tries to launch a game that has different resolution settings to the computer’s it can cause an immediate error, about being unable to change resolutions. This error seems to be related to a computer’s ‚scaling‘ settings for screen resolution, and turning off said scaling settings should fix the issue (I can’t guarantee this, but it did for me, so feedback would be appreciated).

Windows 10 Internal Display solution

This is the solution I found worked for Windows 10 (for other versions presumably there will be some similarities)

• Open the start menu (Windows-Taste).
• Klicken Einstellungen (The gear Icon in the bottom left just above the power icon).
• Klicken System.
• This should automatically put you in the Anzeige Abschnitt, if not click Anzeige on the left hand menu.
• About half way down the options there should be a Scale and Layout section which should include Change the size of text, apps and other items (essentially a zoom) as well as resolution and display orientation.
• Below the size change option there should be a blue text Advanced scaling settings, klicken Sie darauf.
• At the very top of the page there should be Fix scaling for apps with a toggle, this should be turned off.

Optional:

Überprüfen Windows Updater for driver updates.

• Open the start menu (Windows-Taste).
• Klicken Suchen Sie nach Updates (The gear Icon in the bottom left just above the power icon).
• Klicken Suchen Sie nach Updates.
• Click the grey box with Suchen Sie nach Updates (near the top, a little left of centre).
• Wait for the check to finish, and any updates to download.
• Restart and install updates.

OptionalManually check if your driver is up to date (significantly more complicated and I’m not going to give a guide for this).

Nvidia

This I can’t verify due to windows/Nvidia issues, but I will give what steps I can if someone wants to verify them themself:

• Open Nvidia Control Panel
  • Open start menu (Windows key) or search.
  • Start typing Nvidia-Bedienfeld.
  • Klicken Sie auf Nvidia-Bedienfeld when you get the result.
• In the directory on the left there should be a series of categories (if you only have 3D Settings the control panel has an issue and you might not be able to complete these steps).
• Wählen 3D Settings.
• Wählen 3D -Einstellungen verwalten.
• Wählen Globale Einstellungen (Optionally you can select Programmeinstellungen and tune controls for each program).
• Brows the list of Einstellungen für Image Scaling (this should be near the top).
• Wählen Image Scaling.
• Turn off scaling.

If you have the earlier-mentioned issue of only having the 3D Settings category and do not have an Image Scaling setting there are some options you can try, but none of these can be guaranteed:

• Reset Nvidia. (Recommended to copy these instructions or open them on another device, will require two restarts, my understanding of computer drivers isn’t the best so there may be issues).
  • Open start menu (Windows key) or search.
  • Suchen nach Device Manager.
  • Offen Device Manager.
  • Klicken Sie auf Display adaptors (should be about 1/3rd of the way down the list).
  • Right Click on your Nvidia driver to bring up the drop down menu.
  • Klicken Disable device.
  • Restart your computer.
  • Repeat all earlier steps, except this time select Enable device (again followed by restarting your computer).
  • Try accessing Nvidia-Bedienfeld wieder.
• Try updating Nvidia drivers via Geforce.
  • Open start menu (Windows key) or search.
  • Suchen nach Nvidia Geforce.
  • Offen Nvidia Geforce.
  • Klicken Sie auf Drivers (oben links).
  • Klicken Sie auf Check for Updates (oben rechts).
  • If there is a driver update click Herunterladen, if not your drivers may be up to date and unable to help.
  • Once the driver has finished downloading, click the install option you find preferable.
  • Optional: Restart your computer
  • Attempt to change the scaling settings again.
• Semi-manually Update your driver using Nvidia’s downloadable installer, This can be a complicated process and I’m not going to go into it due to lack of skills and risks involved, but there are multiple dedicated guides on the internet for this.
• Manually Update your driver, This can be a complicated process and I’m not going to go into it due to lack of skills and risks involved, but there are multiple dedicated guides on the internet for this.
