Support
Most problems are one of these. If yours isn't, use the form at the bottom or ask on Discord.
It won't start, or it crashed
- Update your graphics drivers.
- In Steam, right-click Boomsday, then Properties, Installed Files, Verify integrity of game files.
- If it crashed, open the game again. It shows the crash report: hit send, or copy it into Discord. That's how we find the bug.
If we ask for your logs, they're here:
- Windows
%APPDATA%\Godot\app_userdata\Boomsday\logs - Mac
~/Library/Application Support/Godot/app_userdata/Boomsday/logs - Linux
~/.local/share/godot/app_userdata/Boomsday/logs
Playing with friends
Up to 8 people online. Two ways in:
- Steam: host a game and invite people from your Steam friends list.
- LAN: on the same network, friends join with the host's IP address.
For two players on one screen, plug in a controller. One person plays on mouse and keyboard, the other on the pad.
Controllers
Every platform supports them, and you can remap everything in Settings. On Steam Deck the controls are already set up.
It runs slow
- Lower the graphics settings in Settings.
- On PC, turn off Ground Mist. It's the most expensive effect.
- Close anything else that's using the GPU, like a browser full of video.
If it's still bad, send us your PC specs and what was on screen through the form below.
Early Access
Boomsday is in Early Access, so it gets updated a lot. Steam installs the updates on its own.
There's also a free demo on the Steam page: Classic and the tutorial, solo, as Smoke, up to the first boss.
Refunds
Steam handles them, under Steam's normal refund policy. Ask through your Steam account.
