Tyranny Known Issues

[TinyWiking]

Known Fraps-related issues:
- Toggling fullscreen while recording in Fraps crashes game.
- Crash when Alt-tabbing in fight in Edgering Ruins while recording in Fraps.

Can’t select which monitor to play on if using multiple monitors
This is unfortunately a known issue with the version of Unity that the game uses. Below is how you can access the setting with games that use this version of Unity.

If you hold down SHIFT while double-clicking on the executable, it will bring up the Unity configuration window. The third option allows you to select which display the game appears on.

Invalid email on Linux
If you get this error when trying to login please enter your you email as normal and then use your mouse to click the password field. Do not push TAB! This adds invisible characters after your email hence it becomes invalid.

Can also happen with the German keyboard layout and perhaps others.


Kills-In-Shadows doesn't attack
This is being worked on and will be fixed in an upcoming patch.

In-game cinematic are choppy and stutters
Related to the Unity engine and being investigated!

Game crashes when transitioning to other locations
This seems to affect mainly Linux / Mac users and is under investigation.

How do I run config in Ubuntu?
BTW it works much better on my Ubuntu rather than Windows system. Starting intro has no lags and freezes, as well as cut scene just after "new game" button hit.

It always uses my notebook monitor, so I want to change it here.

You can get into the menu by starting Tyranny with the option "-show-screen-selector".
In steam you should be able to add this to the start options, for the gog-version run the executable "Path_to_Tyranny/game/Tyranny -show-screen-selector" via terminal.
The setting of the preferred display does not work for me, it starts wherever it wants, typically on the wrong monitor.
I worked around it by starting the game with "-screen-fullscreen 0". That way the game starts on the active screen.

There seems to be a pretty common issue of the game crashing when loading a save file. Numerous posts on the steam forums of people having the issue and a few here. Both trying to manually load my last save and clicking continue lead to a loading screen that goes no where, just plays the music. Once you click or move the mouse the game crashes.

We've seen reports about this and quite a few users solved it by disabling their anti-virus and firewalls. Especially AVG and Comodo has been found to be the culprits.

Thanks a lot, you were totally right about "-schow-screen-selector" it wont work, and configuration dialog does not appear. However "-screen-fullscreen 0" works fine, as well as "-screen-fullscreen 1" (the last one satisfy me, cause 0 screen is my notebook built-in screen which I don't want to use).

Cheers!

Strange. For me the Menu does appear, but it ignores the setting for monitor. Have you spelled "-show-screen-selector" correctly (show, not schow)?

Also weird, that screen-fullscreen can select the monitor. Normally it should "Override the default full-screen state. This must be 0 or 1." I thought it started the game in windowed mode on the active display (for fullscreen 0) and then default to borderless, because the resolution is the native monitor resolution. Therefore if you start with -screen-fullscreen 0 on the desired monitor (e.g. by having the terminal on the desired monitor) you should be able to choose the display.
But well, if it works, that's great. A bit of a nasty workaround to do until an official fix comes..

Ah, I'm sorry for typo in "schow".

About 'screen-fullscreen' I double checked and yes, choosing 0 or 1 just allow me to pick up built-in (0) or external (1) monitor (well I was thinking this is something like SDL method to pick up desired display ).

Also a little notice, if you gonna start /path/to/Tyranny/Tyranny -show-screen-selector then it really will start the game in active monitor (where terminal is placed), but it would not be true if you are using guake.
I have guake at my external display, but running with '-show-screen-selector' starts the game at built-in(0) monitor anyway. Also if I have terminal window at external monitor, but starts 'Tyranny -screen-fullscreen' then it starts the game at built-in monitor.

And once again - a lot of thanks for you.

Added a few more known issues .

Hello. I have a problem with my save files. I can locate save files on my local drive, however in-game I cannot load my previously saved game - saves simply do not appear in the list (only one autosave is there, and it's not even the most recent).

 

[TinyWiking]

Are you by any chance running an anti-virus program like Comodo? If you are please shut it down, we've seen reports that various AV programs / Firewalls are preventing the game from locating the files.

Several posts deleted. This thread is purely for known issues; if you have a problem not listed here please start your own fresh thread in this forum. Include there full details and history of the problem, and system details where appropriate. Thank you.

Is there any sense of what is causing the video stuttering? It makes the game unplayable and if I don't get a fix on it I'll be obliged to request a refund from Steam.

Just bought Tyranny and was loving it until loading screens got longer and longer. I have a late 2013 iMac which would seem to fit minimum and (almost maximum specs).
