Stonehearth – Crash on Start Up Fix

After hours of trying to figure out why my game wouldn’t open after years of not playing this is what I have found!

Why the Game is Crashing

Сrеdit gоеs to Solverine ♡ !

For some reason this game hates x64 bit systems and or dose not want to run is x64 bit mode. Or at least this is what I can make of this from all the online forums.

In the coming segments i will run through the steps to allow the game to open and playable.

Step One

Open the game files for the game.

The easiest way to find these game files is to go to your steam library and find “StoneHearth” and right click on it and head to “Manage” , Then click on “Browse Local Files”.

This will bring up all the game files we will need!

Step Two

Look for a file called “user_settings.json”, select the file and left click. Open the file with notepad, Notepad++, Wordpad or any other file editor.

Once opened there are a few states this file can be in. If the game is freshly installed it may look something like this:

{
"user_id" : "b95a45d0-0e31-11e5-bbe0-74d435857f2e"
}

If this is the case, skip to step three. If this is not the case then continue

In this file you should be able to find a setting that looks like this ->

`"force_32_bit" : false,`

(If you are unable to find this setting once again skip to part 3.) Change this to -> `”force_32_bit” : true,`. Once this is done try running the game again and it should run fine. if for what ever this dose not work please follow step three.

Step Three

If all else fails just delete or remove the file called “x64” and all of its continence.

Please bare in mind that the game may potentially become unstable after removing these files, not sure why just what i have seen from my testing.

The game should run and be playable after removing these files.
