Hi, I have bought this game recently and I when I try to start the game it crashes before getting to the main menu as shown in the video in the link below.
I have also uploaded all the files you’ve asked for but there is some files such as (%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Moon Studios\NoRestForTheWicked\backtrace\crashpad\reports) because there is no error message when it crashes.
I have tried many solutions but nothing seems to work.
Thanks.

Hi everyone, I’m having an issue where the game keeps crashing before it even finishes loading. As soon as I launch it, the game closes or crashes on the loading screen, and I can’t get into the main menu at all.
I’ve already tried restarting my device and relaunching the game, but the problem keeps happening. If anyone has experienced this before or knows a fix, please let me know. Any help would be appreciated!
the major problem is cant pass the moon logo it freezing on the thing on the right corner keep freezing there and i tried the solutions with xinput9_1_0 and reset my controller.
I’m having an issue where the game crashes or freezes before it fully loads. Every time I launch it, the game closes or gets stuck on the loading screen, and I can’t reach the main menu. I’ve already tried Steam launch options (-skipintro, -force-d3d12, etc.)and restarting my device and relaunching the game, but the issue keeps happening. The main problem is that it won’t get past the moon logo — it freezes there, with the loading icon in the bottom-right corner stuck. Also, i tried changing the calendar to Gregorian and didnt work. I really want to play the game as soon as possible and I need help.
For those of you who still face the logo crash issue after the together update, I tried changing the calendar and didn’t work. I checked my player log file and it seems that the calendar is indeed the one causing the crash. I changed the regional format to recommended and now it works like magic.
I just wanted everyone facing the issue to know, maybe it could work for them as well.
Also, you can get to this screen by going to Settings → Time & Language → Language & Region and you will find it underneath the Region section.
Hi team, sadly this did not work for me. it definitely affected the startup as i don’t see the logo during startup anymore but i still get the same crash on startup sadly.
Can confirm it’s still happening, but I am using Bazzite with Proton Experimental. Tried the solution with the skip intro and d3d12 but to no avail. Removed the pfx folder for the game and the game still crashes.

It just flooded the logs with this displayclass exceptions and then crashed the game on startup.
[EDIT] Upon repairing the game it downloaded some additional data and now it runs without issues!
i’ve since realised that the gpu usage spikes to 99% during the loading screen so i assume the OS is killing the application. any tips on how to solve that?
