The image shows where it gets stuck. Yellow bar fills up and then it's stuck there. Task manager shows the client still using resources and being responsive according to Windows' view anyway.


I played the game on gamepass last year, but now I suddenly can't, since getting gamepass in November. I tried deleting some folders with user files, in case there was an issue there, with no improvement.


I tried the basic stuff we're requested to do with troubleshooting. Reinstalling graphics drivers, checking file integrity, reinstalling the game multiple times etc...


4. Steps to reproduce: Start the game, get stuck, go cry in a corner.


5. Expected behavior: Client initializing, and user getting to the main menu to interact with it.

Hi, thank you for your report.


We are sorry that you are experiencing this issue. In order for us to better investigate it can you share the following files please?


Thanks a lot in advance!


  • Diagnostic files: These files need to be compressed as a zip or rar file or the upload will fail! Located by default: 
    • PC:\Users\[username]\Documents\Humankind\Temporary Files 
    • Mac: Select the correct file by looking at the name like "Diagnostics - 2020'10'11 @1407'46''" that gives you the date and hour which should correspond to a save file 
  • Player.Log: These can be found here:
    • PC: This folder is hidden by default. You will need to reveal hidden folders (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hidden-files-0320fe58-0117-fd59-6851-9b7f9840fdb2 ) then navigate to: Users\[username]\AppData\LocalLow\AMPLITUDE Studios\Humankind
    • Mac: This is hidden in the Libraries folder. You will need to do an internet search to find specific steps for your OS. Once the libraries folder is revealed, they are in user/library/logs/amplitude studios/humankind 
  • Information about the system you are playing on. To get this information:
    • PC: From the Windows desktop, press the Windows and R keys to open the Run window. In the Open: field of the Run window, type dxdiag. Click OK or the Enter key to open the DirectX* Diagnostic Tool. See also here: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000022556/graphics.html 
    • Mac: See information on where to get system info here: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT203001

I fixed it. I found someone else on the forum reporting a launch issue and that they had to disable Microsoft OneDrive from cloud copying their Documents folder.

Same thing for me, couldn't just delete the folder like I had tried previously, you have to disable OneDrive.


In that sense I don't really think your user file system is compatible with windows nowadays.
