Some starting problems
The change to .Net Core has caused some starting problems. Either because
- the short cuts are incompatible due to change in the installation folder structure
- or Cosmoteer 0.15.3+ settings.txt file is incompatible with older versions
- or because of missing windows update issues with Windows 7.
For details see Downgrading to an older version and Microsoft .NET.
Some running problems
With 0.15.6 more CPU cores are being used which have caused some problems with those having less cores. To fix this the game can be forced to run on a limited number of cores with the following option:
--cores N
where N is the number of cores available.
Antivirus
Some antivirus might block and prevent the game from running. In this case you have to create an exception for the game with the antivirus. Please refer to your antivirus' support on how to do this.
Windows Defender
This problem was that the "Controlled folder access" option in Windows Security settings was turned on and was blocking Cosmoteer. If you're having this problem, try turning that option off or adding Cosmoteer to its ignore list.
