Desert Stalker: Constant Crashes - Support/Advice Appreciated (Workarounds)
Short answer
No confirmed fix yet. Players suggest: I've done that today and haven't had any issues so far (approx 1 hour in), so I think it has fixed the problem for now.
How to fix it
- Verify your game files through Steam to check for missing files and reacquire any that are detected.
- Uninstall the game completely from your system, then reinstall it.
- Switch to using the updated Ren'Py engine branch. Note that you should continue using this specific branch moving forward, as it resolves the issue for certain players depending on their nvidia drivers.
If it still doesn't work
- The game may still crash on boot or during the opening minute of the new game introduction despite verifying files and reinstalling.
- The issue may persist depending on your specific nvidia drivers, even after switching to the updated Ren'Py branch.
What players reported
Every time I try to boot up the game it either crashes before the main menu, or it crashes during the first minute or so of the New Game introduction. I've already verified the game files, it said 145 were missing and reacquired them, but that failed to change the outcome. I uninstalled and reinstalled but that didn't work either. Any advice or troubleshooting support would be appreciated, thanks.

Moving forward, you'll want to keep using that branch. It's an updated version of Ren'Py that fixes the problem for some people, depending on their nvidia drivers.
