I need help on a weird bug I'm having

When ever I send someone the exe to my game, It's just a gray screen, I think I've fixed it but I'm having trouble getting people to test it. If you would help me out a ton here, and test it, I probably won't give you anything: https://loffyyytoffyyy.itch.io/snow-haven

It’s a pixel art game. Why not convert the Windows-specific executable file to html so the game can be played in a browser by anyone? That could help identify the problem with the .exe file, too.

because the file size is to large

The 90 MB .exe file converts to more than 500 MB for an HTML zip file? I haven’t done that conversion before because I don’t have access to Windows to check the game play.

That’s a huge difference that doesn’t make sense to me, with how small HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files typically are.

But, okay. I guess you’ll just have to wait to find out who trusts an unknown developer with a format often used for malware.

I don't think you read the problem though, it's a bug that shows some people only a gray screen and I plan to release this is on steam which this might come as a shocker, but doesn't support html games

I'll do that, but I dont think it'll recreate the bug

Good luck!

Sounds like a graphics issue. If it works for some people and not for others, feedback is not gonna solve this, as you already know it works for some people and not for other people.

My guess would be issues with that Vulcan thingy.

Don't know why people hated that I posted a exe but there's now html which kinda defeats the whole purpos

Try the Godot forums - most likely others have encountered the same issue and can tell you how to fix it.  Here, it's random whether a Godot expert will see your post or not.  But it might help attract the right person if you include in your title that the weird bug is to do with a Godot .exe.
