List of Raft Known Issues, Bugs, and Fixes – June 24, 2022
Known Issues
Stuck on “Blue Screen” while loading a world or joining a friend’s world
We have noticed a distinct difference, there is two ways this could happen.
Number 1: Only the person joining freezes and gets stuck on bluescreen. The host can play normaly.
Number 2: Both the host and the person joining freezes. The hosts game completely freezes and the one joining gets stuck on bluescreen.
If you are experiencing option Number 1
We do know of one solution that seems to work for most people:
- Check if you have GameFirstVI installed. Comes pre-installed with ASUS ROG products.
- Go into the program and set Steam and/or Raft to highest priority.
- Try connecting to your friends again.
If you are experiencing option Number 2
This should have been fixed in Update 13 and later game versions.
Version X(XXXXXXX) and Stuck in Character Selection Menu
If you are stuck in the character selection menu, you might be having issues with the folder permissions. These issues occur when the game is having problems accessing and editing some specific files in Raft folder.
To give the needed permissions, please give this a try:
- Go to ” C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Redbeet Interactive\Raft “
- Right click “Raft” folder and select “Properties”
- Make sure both “Hidden” and “Read-only” options are not checked and click apply.
Raft save files are not showing in the load game menu.
- Make sure there are no extra dots(..) in the name of the rgd file. (for example: “Wor.ld.rgd” should be “World.rgd”)
If this does not fix the problem, the latest save file for that world might be corrupted. As a quickfix, you should be able restore an earlier version of the save by following these steps:
- Click Load World on Game Menu
- Open Save Folder Path
- Go to the “World” folder
- Go to the problematic save’s folder
- Remove the folder that has “Latest” in the name.
- Try to load world again.
Black screen when starting a game.
If you start a game and only see a black screen, try waiting 10-15 minutes on the black screen, the game may take some time to load on older hardware or high video settings.
If the issue persists you can try repairing the game files and/or try restarting your PC.
Local Multiplayer Issues
In local multiplayer, if one player disconnects his or her controller, the other players may still be able to play (even if an error message occurs).
- Workaround: This player must reconnect his/her controller
