Press and hold the Windows key and the letter R on your keyboard
Type appdata into the prompt that appears
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:

Right-click on Content Warning in your Steam Library > Manage > Browse local files
Right-click on “Content Warning” and select Properties
Select the Compatibility tab
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

There are sadly a million things that can lead to extraction issues for the videos, some of which we have no control over on our end (like one team-mate having a weird file structure on their computer) but we have done our best to fix the most common ones.

Troubleshooting that may help:

Avoid several short cuts in succession
Don't stand on the extraction machine or jump into the bin
Make sure you have enough space on the C: drive (everyone in the lobby needs to have enough space on their C: drives) where the recordings are saved
Try not to pass the camera around too much. If you have many extraction failures, it can help if only the host uses the camera.
Whoever did most of the filming can try to be the one to leave the camera in the extraction machine, even if they died
Make sure all players have the same mods. All players can also try to fully remove all mods to make sure a mod isn't causing the issue (especially camera mods seem to cause more extraction failures).
Some players have reported that Voicemod can cause extractions to fail
Make sure you have a stable internet connection
Playing on a public network (for example in a school or a café) might cause issues since there are more restrictions

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:

Press and hold the Windows key and the letter R on your keyboard
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:

Press and hold the Windows key and the letter R on your keyboard
Type regedit into the prompt that appears and click OK
In the panel to the left, navigate to this folder: Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Landfall Games\Content Warning
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:

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

We recommend playing the game as intended and to not inflate your MetaCoins, but if an issue causes your MC to disappear you can follow the steps below to restore your progress. These steps also help if you want to remove MC from your account.

Press Windows key + R and type appdata into the prompt that appears
Navigate to LocalLow\Landfall Games\Content Warning\Saves
Right-click on the metaData file > Open with > Notepad
Change the MetaCoins value to the number you want and save the file
