Crashing whenever I try to play a song

Describe your bug here. If you are modding, try testing your bug in a clean version of the engine instead. Also, if you're using an older version of JSE, please try the latest version/action build. Also, be sure to check the pinned 'JS Engine: Known Issues' issue, to check if your issue hasn't already been found!

I- I just can't play any song, what is happening

did you play only one song or more?

[TheStinkern]

[ISamwise4]

[TheStinkern]

alright
open cmd and do "cd [path of where the '.exe' is]"
and then type in "JSEngine.exe"
this shows what event is going on in the engine
go to a song and watch the terminal

[TheStinkern]

also, click on "comment", not "close commit" (or whatever that button says)

[TheStinkern]

heres a video just so its easier to understand

if you dont know how to open cmd, go to the search and type cmd

[TheStinkern]

copy the section that looks like its talking about the crash

[ISamwise4]

it opens JSEngine, and that's it, it literally doesn't give me other info

[TheStinkern]

is there litteraly nothing in the cmd post-opening the the game with cmd

[TheStinkern]

no
see that path thing next to the search bar on the file explorer

[TheStinkern]

nvm
just get rid of "\JSEngine.exe" and keep the rest
then type in JSEngine.exe

[ISamwise4]

im an idiot

send me the directory you are typing in

[ISamwise4]

I'm generally new to Windows, I got this pc less that a month ago and I don't know wtf I'm doing

[TheStinkern]

send the directory

[ISamwise4]

"C:\Users[MY NAME]\Desktop\fnf-stuff\FNF-JS-Engine-windows" is the directory, it is where JSEngine is saved

[TheStinkern]

cd C:\Users[MY NAME]\Desktop\fnf-stuff\FNF-JS-Engine-windows

[TheStinkern]

that

[TheStinkern]

you forgot the cd at the start

[JordanSantiagoYT]

ok

first of all, you're cding to "C:\Users[MY NAME]\Desktop\fnf-stuff\FNF-JS-Engine-windows\JSEngine.exe"

while the file is existent, that doesnt mean its an existent directory. you should try "C:\Users[MY NAME]\Desktop\fnf-stuff\FNF-JS-Engine-windows" only

second, the issue you're reporting is yet another duplicate of #559, also be sure to see #359 and #576

note splash directory is incorrect

[JordanSantiagoYT]

since you're trying on 1.32.0/newer, go to Options, enter the Visuals & UI menu to reset your note splash/skin settings to defaults, then try again.

If it still crashes, then you're missing a required config file for your game to work. Head to the Note Splash Editor by pressing 7 in the main menu, then entering the Note Splash Debug Editor and create one for your skin.

(prepared to just copy and paste this on issues that reference this again)

[ISamwise4]

Ok, thanks
