Some raised criticisms concerning the controls, variety of puzzles, and platforming. I hope this helps people fixing and playing Unravel. Unravel received a favourable reception upon release, with many critics in agreement that the game's visuals, protagonist, soundtrack, and overall tone were among its strong suits. Updated/installed newest Visual C++ Redistributable Packages Installing K-Lite Codec Pack (Uninstalled later, Unravel still running with above mentioned working solution)
Updated + repaired the game (didn't make a difference) Starting Origin as well as Unravel.exe as administrator (still active) Starting Origin as well as Unravel.exe in compatibility mode (not active, didn't make a difference) Uninstalling / installing Unravel (via Steam)
Uninstalling / installing newest version of Origin
Back-installing Radeon Software Adrenalin driver to version 20.4.2. Installing newest Radeon Software Adrenalin driver 20.5.1 Steps I've tried before this (which didn't work) but may be worth giving a try:
Rebooted my PC and was able to immediately play Unravel on Steam via Origin. I installed the latest Windows Media Feature Pack (圆4_1903_V1) of May 2019. I've been at it trying to find a solution for 3 days now. I had the same issue with Unravel starting up ok but being stuck at the loading screen indefinitely (black screen, pulsing white dot). The only real difference from before is that Origin seems to stay without crashing. First a short one less then a second in, then a nearly ten seconds long stutter before the note continues for a second before it all crashes back to the desktop. ♥♥♥♥ EA, ♥♥♥♥ Origin and ♥♥♥♥ Denuvo or whatever DRM(s) they're using!Įdit: Seeing that some have been experiencing crashes when using their VPN I turned mine off, and now I get three seconds of the first note of music before it crashes, and the music itself has stutters. Now it crashes like it did the first time, only this time I don't seem to be able to find any way to troubleshoot the damned thing. Only then, and not in any other way I got a popup telling me there was no save data for the game in the cloud (no ♥♥♥♥, Sherlock).įirst I tried the cloud alternative, which crashed the game even earlier with the screen flickering to black and back and I had to do the same long procedure to get the alternative to choose to upload local save files. Then I was unable to launch the game at all until I manually started Origin again, clicked on the game and tried to run it from the desktop shortcut. First it crashed during the first note of music, and Origin shut down, too.
