Update your graphics drivers

It's important to keep your graphics drivers up-to-date since outdated drivers can affect performance or lead to other issues.

For most graphics cards you can download and install the latest drivers from NVIDIA or AMD. On Mac the latest drivers are installed along with macOS updates.

• NVIDIA GeForce Driver - Go to http://www.geforce.com/drivers or use the GeForce Experience app

• AMD Video Driver - http://support.amd.com/en-us/download or use the Radeon Software app

• Mac OS: Read how to update your drivers here.

If you are not sure what kind of graphics card you have or which drivers you should download, you can read this guide on how to identify your graphics card and download drivers.

Force DirectX (Steam only)

Force DirectX 11 on launch (for issues with TABS and TABG):

1. Right-click on the game in your Steam Library

2. Select Properties and go to the General tab

3. In the box under Launch Options, type “-force-d3d11” (without the quotes)

4. Close the Properties window

Force DirectX 9 on launch (for issues with Stick Fight and Clustertruck):

1. Right-click on the game in your Steam Library

2. Select Properties and go to the General tab

3. In the box under Launch Options, type “-force-d3d9” (without the quotes)

4. Close the Properties window

Antivirus software issues 

Antivirus software can sometimes incorrectly identify the game or your game launcher as a threat and then quarantine and remove game files, or prevent the game launcher from downloading and saving game data.

To stop this from happening, add exceptions for the game and your game launcher in the antivirus software. 

You can also try to temporarily disable your antivirus software (not needed if you only use Windows Defender) to troubleshoot and make sure it’s not preventing the game from running properly.

Administrator privileges (Windows only)

Running software as an administrator gives it extra permissions and can fix several odd problems.

Run the game as an administrator:

1. Locate the game installation folder

2. Right-click on the game executable (the application) and select Properties

3. Select the Compatibility tab

4. Check “Run this program as administrator” and click OK

Run your game launcher as an administrator (only applies to Steam and Epic Games Launcher):

1. Go to Steam’s / the Epic Games Launcher’s installation folder (see default location below)

2. Right-click on Steam.exe or EpicGamesLauncher.exe and select Properties

3. Select the Compatibility tab

4. Check “Run this program as administrator” and click OK

Default install location for Steam and Epic Games:

Steam default: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam
Epic Games default: C:\Program Files (x86)\Epic Games\Launcher\Portal\Binaries\Win64\

Issues with Citrix Workspace

Citrix Workspace is a digital workspace software platform and this program causes issues with Unity and can cause the game to crash. To solve this issue, please uninstall Citrix completely.

Install the latest Windows Update

1. Open Windows Settings (you can do so by clicking the Start button in the taskbar and then the cogwheel icon)

2. Go to Update & Security and select the Windows Update tab to the left

3. Click Check for updates

Install the latest macOS update

To download macOS software updates, choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, then click Software Update.

Read more on how to update your Mac here.

Controllers, joysticks and other devices

Some devices can cause various issues with the game. If you have any controllers or other peripherals (joystick, racing wheel, foot pedals etc.) plugged in or connected wirelessly while playing, please try to unplug/disconnect them and start the game with only mouse & keyboard.

Make sure your computer is using the dedicated GPU

Many laptops have more than one graphics card: an integrated and a dedicated one. The dedicated one is usually stronger and more suited for demanding tasks such as gaming. If your laptop has a power saving mode, it will most likely switch to the integrated GPU to preserve battery power.

To check if you have more than one GPU, open the Device Manager in Windows. Your GPU(s) will be shown under “Display adapters”. If there is only one option that says “Intel HD Graphics”, you only have an integrated GPU.

To switch to your dedicated GPU, follow this guide.

RAM

If you have low memory (RAM), it's important that you are not running other programs in the background while playing. For example, Chrome is a heavy memory user.

Some software will automatically run at startup in Windows by default, which can use up a lot of RAM. This can be disabled in most software by going to their settings and disabling “Automatically start when logging into Windows” or something similar. Other software can be disabled in Windows itself; please read more here.

In macOS, you can find similar settings under System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items.

Performance issues

If you are experiencing low FPS or stutters, you can follow Steam's troubleshooting guides for game performance issues, available here and here (these steps are helpful even if you are using a different game launcher than Steam). A good first step is to make sure your graphics drivers are updated. Also check that your computer is using the dedicated GPU, more info here.

For performance issues in TABS, it may help to lower some of the graphics options in the game. Start the game and open Settings, in the Video tab you can for example turn off anti-aliasing, as well as lowering shadow and physics quality. Please note that due to the physics simulations in the game, you may experience FPS drops in large battles with many units.

My game is stuck in the taskbar

For this issue, you can try the following:

• When you have started the game and it appears to be running in the background, first click on the game in the taskbar, then press ALT+ENTER

• Press the Windows key and P at the same time, on the panel that appears to the right, click “PC screen only”

• Make sure that your graphics drivers are updated

• Install the latest Windows/macOS update

• Add an exception for the game with your antivirus

You can also try to temporarily lower the resolution in Windows:

1. Open Windows Settings > System > Display

2. Under Display resolution, lower the resolution

3. Launch the game

4. If the game launches properly, you can close it and change the resolution back

Clean install of the game (TABS - Steam/Epic Games users)

Custom content from the workshop can sometimes cause issues with the game, like crashes or getting stuck on a loading screen. Having a very large amount of custom content can also be an issue for some users. Doing a clean install of the game can help.

1. Log into https://mod.io/g/tabs, you can log in directly with your Steam/Epic Games account. In the panel to the left, select "My collection" and unsubscribe from everything in the list by clicking the red X.

2. If you have made any custom units or other creations in the game that you would like to keep, then you should back up those creations before continuing with step 3. If there are no creations that you want to save, you can jump to step 3.

   • STEAM: In order to back up your custom content, right-click on TABS in your Steam Library > Manage > Browse local files > TotallyAccurateBattleSimulator_Data > CustomContent. Make a copy of the "CustomContent" folder and put it on your desktop for example. We will put this folder back later.

   • EPIC GAMES: In order to back up your custom content, right-click on TABS in your Epic Games Library > Manage > In the “Installation” section, click on the small folder icon to open the Install Location > TotallyAccurateBattleSimulator_Data > CustomContent. Make a copy of the “CustomContent” folder and put it on your desktop for example. We will put this folder back later.

3. Uninstall the game via the Steam client/Epic Games launcher, then make sure these folders are gone:

   • STEAM game installation folder (default location):
     C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Totally Accurate Battle Simulator

   • EPIC GAMES game installation folder (default location):
     C:\Program Files\Epic Games Launcher\TABS

   • And the TABS folder in AppData:
     C:\Users\your username\AppData\LocalLow\Landfall Games\Totally Accurate Battle Simulator

4. Install the game via Steam/Epic again. Then start the game and see if it works properly. After you’ve made sure the game works and if you followed step 2, you can now put back your “CustomContent” folder in the same location.
   
   If you start to have issues again after putting back the “CustomContent” folder, there is likely a specific item causing issues or if you have a very large amount of custom content, deleting some may help.

If none of these solutions has solved your issue, please reach out to us at support@landfall.se

1. Press and hold the Windows key and the letter R on your keyboard

2. Type appdata into the prompt that appears

3. Then navigate to LocalLow\Landfall Games\Content Warning> locate the file called “Player” and send it to support@landfall.se

My game crashes on startup or during gameplay

If the game stops responding and crashes back to the desktop, please check out our troubleshooting guide at https://landfall.se/troubleshooting for potential solutions.

Some players have reported that Overwolf can cause crashes in the game - if you have it installed make sure it’s not running while playing Content Warning.

For crashes on startup it often helps to remove save files and game recordings, and if the problem persists after that, then run the game as an administrator.

Save files and game recordings can be found here:

• C:\Users\(your username)\AppData\LocalLow\Landfall Games\Content Warning\Saves

• C:\Users\(your username)\AppData\Local\Temp\rec

Steps on how to run the game as an administrator:

1. Right-click on Content Warning in your Steam Library > Manage > Browse local files

2. Right-click on “Content Warning” and select Properties

3. Select the Compatibility tab

4. Check “Run this program as administrator” and click OK

My antivirus is reacting to the game

This happens often with new games, it's a false positive. Make sure to make an exception for the game with your antivirus and then verify your game files in Steam.

Recordings fail to extract or get stuck on extracting

If recordings fail to extract when you play, it would be very helpful if you could send us your player log!

Right now we're looking to get player logs from all players in the same session, or from players that are able to recreate the bug in solo mode.

If you would like to help by sending us logs, follow the steps below.

1. First recreate the bug where the extraction fails in the game, all players in the lobby should then get the player log immediately after the bug has occurred

2. Get the log here: Press the Windows key + R and type appdata into the prompt that appears. Then navigate to LocalLow\Landfall Games\Content Warning > locate the file called “Player”

3. One player should collect logs from everyone in the session and send them in an email to support@landfall.se

If you can also include a short description of the game session (such as which day the extraction failed and if anything of note happened on that day, or if you died) it'll help us a lot when going through the logs!

Stuck on hosting, unable to join/host games, disconnection issues

Here are some steps you can try that have helped fix the issue for other players:

• Launch the game directly from your Steam Library (instead of using a shortcut for example)

• Restarting the game will sometimes help

• Run the game as administrator, you can find steps on how to do so in our troubleshooting guide here https://landfall.se/troubleshooting

• Exclude the game in your antivirus

• Verify your game files in Steam: Right-click on Content Warning in your Steam Library > Properties > Installed files > Verify integrity of game files

• If you have modded the game, try removing all mods and reinstall the game

• Make sure you have a stable internet connection

• Some players have been able to solve the issues by playing with a VPN

• Try shutting down any other programs while playing the game, it’s possible that something is interfering with the game in some way

It can also help to remove your save files and game recordings, they are located here:

1. Press and hold the Windows key and the letter R on your keyboard

2. Type appdata into the prompt that appears

   • Then navigate to LocalLow\Landfall Games\Content Warning\Saves for the save files

   • Or to Local\Temp\rec for the game recordings

My game is pink!

This seems to happen mainly on computers that don't meet the minimum system requirements for the game. You can try updating your graphics drivers and also check if your computer has more than one GPU and if so, make sure it's using the dedicated GPU for the game (detailed steps in our troubleshooting guide).

The game freezes for a few seconds when I stop recording

For this issue it usually helps to add exclusions in your antivirus for the game installation folder (the entire folder, not just the game itself) and the folder where the game recordings are saved.

The default antivirus in Windows is Windows Security you can follow these steps to add an exclusion.

The default locations are:

• Game installation folder:
  C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Content Warning

• Game recordings:
  C:\Users\(your username)\AppData\Local\Temp\rec

If you have trouble finding the folder with the game recordings, you can start the game and film a bit with the camera, then press F3 (while the game is still running) and it will open the folder with your recordings. Check the location of that folder and exclude it in your antivirus.

Some players have also mentioned that FACEIT Anti-Cheat can cause this issue in the game, if you have it installed you can check to see if can be disabled while playing Content Warning.

My game is stuck in a minimized/tiny window

Resetting the resolution in the Registry usually helps with this:

1. Press and hold the Windows key and the letter R on your keyboard

2. Type regedit into the prompt that appears and click OK

3. In the panel to the left, navigate to this folder: Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Landfall Games\Content Warning

4. Delete all settings starting with “Screenmanager”

I can't move the camera while in-game

Check the in-game settings and make sure the mouse sensitivity hasn’t been set to 0 (this can happen sometimes due to a bug).

Troubleshooting for audio and microphone issues

If you have no sound in the game, can’t hear others or be heard, or experience other audio related issues, you can troubleshoot the issue with the steps below.

• Check the in-game audio settings and make sure the Master, SFX and Voice volume sliders haven't been set to 0 (this can happen sometimes due to a bug). Also try to readjust the volume sliders (increase or lower the volume), this can fix things sometimes.

• Some mods can cause audio bugs in the game. If you have any mods installed, try removing them fully and reinstall the game.

• A program called Voicemod has caused issues for some players. If you have it on your computer, you can try to uninstall it.

• If you have a Razer headset, there's a setting on the microphone which suppresses background noise. Some players have mentioned that switching this off using the Razer app 'Synapse' has helped.

• Make sure the sound hasn't been muted in Windows: Right-click on the Speaker icon in the Windows Taskbar > Open Volume Mixer > Once the game is running, you can adjust its volume in the Volume Mixer​.

• Try changing the output device in Windows (for example use headphones or the monitor instead of the speakers) to make sure there are no issues with the device. Simply changing to a different output device and then changing back can sometimes help as well.

• Update Windows: Open Windows Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > Check for updates​.

• Run the game as an administrator (you can find steps on how to do so in our troubleshooting guide here).

• Exclude the game in your antivirus.

Deleting save files and game recordings can also help solve various issues, you can find them here:

1. Press and hold the Windows key and the letter R on your keyboard

2. Type appdata into the prompt that appears

   • Then navigate to LocalLow\Landfall Games\Content Warning\Saves for the save files

   • Or to Local\Temp\rec for the game recordings

My voice is low in recordings

• Other players have solved this by turning off “Spatial Sound” in Windows (Open Windows Settings > System > Sound > Select your playback device under Output devices > Select Device Properties and turn off spatial sound).

• For others it has worked to increase your microphone volume in Steam (Open Steam Settings > Voice > Increase the input volume).

I lost my MetaCoins / Someone added a lot of MetaCoins to my account

Troubleshooting on console

Totally Accurate Battle Simulator

Crashes

Frequent crashes may occur on console if you have a lot of custom content (both units, battles and maps that you’ve created yourself and content subscribed to in the workshop). It may help to remove some of your custom content.

If the game is crashing on startup or if you are unable to unsubscribe to workshop items in-game, you can follow these steps:

1. Go to https://mod.io/g/tabs and sign in using your Xbox/PlayStation account. Nintendo players should log in using the email that was entered in-game the first time you opened the workshop.

2. In the panel to the left, click on My Collection. Here you can see your in-game subscriptions. Unsubscribe from everything by clicking the red X.

3. Start the game to see if it works better.

4. If the crashes persist, reinstall the game. (On Xbox, there will be a screen where you can select which components to remove - select to remove everything).

   • Please note that uninstalling the game will remove units, battles and maps that you’ve created yourself. If you can, upload your content to the in-game workshop first to save it online (you can then re-download everything when you install the game again).

On Xbox, the workshop is also shared with PC players. PC players often upload content that requires community-made mods in order to work. It is highly recommended not to download anything that looks like it might require mods on console (anything that you can’t create in the official unit creator like animal units or vehicles for example), as these will often cause problems such as crashes and will not work on console.

Connection issues on Xbox

To play multiplayer with a friend, both players require an Xbox Game Pass Core/Ultimate subscription.

If you are having problems hosting or joining multiplayer games, your internet connection may have a strict or moderate NAT. Read this guide for more information and to check your current NAT type on your Xbox: https://support.xbox.com/en-ZA/help/hardware-network/connect-network/xbox-one-nat-error

On console it’s not possible to use custom units in Landfall campaigns (but you can use them in the sandbox and in custom campaigns). This is because some achievements would be too easy to unlock when using custom units.

Will my custom content remain if I uninstall the game or switch to a different computer?

PC

On Epic Games, the game installation folder is deleted when you uninstall the game and that also means your custom content is removed in the process. See below how to back up your creations.

On Steam and Microsoft Store, your custom content will remain even if you uninstall the game.

If you reinstall the game on a different hard drive, you will need to manually transfer your content between the hard drives (Steam only).

If you reinstall the operating system or the game launcher, or switch to a different computer, you will also need to transfer your custom content manually - otherwise it will be lost.

Transferring custom content:

You can upload your creations to the in-game workshop to save them online and then download them again later as an editable copy.

You can also transfer the local files:

1. Locate the “CustomContent" folder

• STEAM: Right-click on TABS in your Steam Library > Manage > Browse local files > TotallyAccurateBattleSimulator_Data > CustomContent

• EPIC GAMES: Right-click on TABS in your Epic Games Library > Manage > In the “Installation” section, click on the small folder icon to open the Install Location > TotallyAccurateBattleSimulator_Data > CustomContent

• MICROSOFT STORE: C:\Users\your username\AppData\LocalLow\Landfall Games\Totally Accurate Battle Simulator\CustomContent

2. Transfer the CustomContent folder by copying it to the new location (e.g. other hard drive or new computer). If you’re on Microsoft Store, transferring the CustomContent folder between hard drives is not necessary.

Console

Your custom content will be removed if the game is uninstalled. Upload your units and other content to the in-game workshop if you want to save them and download them again later as an editable copy.

PC Troubleshooting

I am unable to join a game/I only get a circle with a cross when I join Quick Match.

The issue is most likely due to either your internet connection or your firewall, or the person you're playing with. Check your connection, disable your firewall and restart your computer and the game before you try to re-enter Quick Match.

You can also try to verify your game files on Steam: Right-click on Stick Fight in your Steam Library > Properties > Local files > Verify integrity of game files.

My stick dude/My friend’s stick dude doesn’t move!

This is also most likely due to the firewall - please try to disable it, restart the game and Steam.

My controller spawns two stick dudes! 

Plug in all controllers before starting the game, if you use a wireless one, connect it to your PC before starting the game. This isn't really a bug with the game, but with Windows assigning all of them as the same controller (controller 1). After connecting them and booting the game, press the A button in sequence (so not all at once) and it should work fine - if not, let us know!

I see this error message in the game: No connection to host could be made, please check firewall

TABG FAQ

Where can I get the game?

TABG is free-to-play on Steam.

How do I host a dedicated server?

You can follow our guide here.

Why did you make a battle royale game?!

TABG started out as an April Fools joke, we’ve done one every year since 2016. We've previously combined one of our games with another genre or game. The first year we made Supertruck, a mix between the game Superhot and Clustertruck. Then we made TABZ which is a mix between TABS and DAY-Z. We’ve spent an enormous amount of lunch breaks and nights playing battle royale games, this is an homage to a genre we love!

When we released TABG as an April Fools joke in 2018 it wasn’t initially meant to be updated, but when it gained a big following in the first week we decided to update it anyways. We completely overhauled the game later on and released it as Free To Play in 2021.

Why are you no longer updating the game?

What are Founders?

Founders are players that paid for the game or got it for free before the free-to-play release on April 1st, 2021. Founders received these rewards when the game went F2P:

• Kept all the cosmetics released before the F2P release

• The Tracksuit, which enables you to trigger the TABG Hardbass song “Beton i Doski”

• 1,000 Money Coins (only if you paid for the game)

If I purchase a key to the game now, will I receive the Founder pack?

No, only players that got the game before the free-to-play release on April 1st, 2021 are eligible to receive the Founder pack.

Inverted mouse?

You can go to Options and change the sensitivity sliders to negative numbers.

I previously purchased cosmetics that are no longer available on my account

Verifying your game files usually solves this problem: Right-click on TABG in your Steam Library > Properties > Local files > Verify integrity of game files.

You can also try launching the game directly from your Steam Library (instead of using a shortcut) and make sure Steam is running while playing the game.

If the issue persists after that, send an email to support@landfall.se and include a link to your Steam profile (or your Steam ID number).

The game is stuck in a minimized window

Resetting your resolution in the Registry Editor usually helps with this issue:

1. Press and hold the Windows key and the letter R on your keyboard

2. Type regedit into the prompt that appears and click OK

3. In the panel to the left, navigate to this folder: Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Landfall Games\Totally Accurate Battlegrounds

4. Delete all settings starting with “Screenmanager”

Totally Accurate Battlegrounds Dedicated Server Guide

1. Go to your Steam Library and in the panel to the left, select Tools in the dropdown menu. Find “Totally Accurate Battlegrounds Dedicated Server” in the list and click to install.

2. Right-click on “Totally Accurate Battlegrounds Dedicated Server” in your Steam Library > Manage > Browse local files. To change the server settings, open the “game_settings.txt” file.

3. The most important settings are ServerName, Relay and Password.

• ServerName: The name that will be displayed in the server browser in-game. You can only choose the name from a list of valid words, see the full list here: https://github.com/landfallgames/tabg-word-list. If you would like to use a word that is not on the list, you can create a pull request for new words on GitHub. You can run “VerifyAllowedWords.exe“ (found in the same folder as the “game_settings.txt” file) to verify the server name and description, and make sure all words are allowed.

• Relay: If you don’t have a public IP or if port forwarding sounds too tricky, it’s recommended to set Relay to “true” (recommended for most users). Everything is then sent through a relay server hosted by Unity and you should be able to play anyway. Remember that using a public IP will always increase the risk of being targeted by any sort of malicious cyber activity.

• Password: Password to access the server.

4. Once you’ve started a server with Relay turned on, you should receive a code and that should also be displayed in the server browser in-game.
