Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/323190/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (323190) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
  2. Center and LFE/subwoofer channels are silent.[4]

    "First of all, please do the following:

    - If you have Razer Chroma SDK installed on your PC, please uninstall it - it has been causing problems with multiple games recently and we know it's preventing Frostpunk from launching;
    - Reinstall the game;
    - Verify game's files via Steam (How? Just right click on Frostpunk → Properties → Local files → click on Verify Integrity of Game Cache...);- Update your graphics card drivers;
    - Update your DirectX and Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package;
    - If you're forcing anti-aliasing from graphics card control panel - be sure to disable it;
    - Run the game in windowed mode;
    - If you are using custom resolution and/or downsampling, disable it;
    - Disable Steam in-game overlay;
    - Be sure to launch the game as the administrator;
