I’ve been playing the game with nwjs 0.62.0 and it runs flawlessly, have over 60 hours in the game and am nearing the end of the DLC without issue.

If you’re playing on Linux you can use the install scripts for Lutris that I wrote to automatically prep the game with dlc and update nwjs.

Game+nwjs: https://lutris.net/games/install/32266/view
Game+DLC+nwjs: https://lutris.net/games/install/32281/view

For some reason they haven’t been approved yet for the public list, guess the lutris mod team is really backed up, that makes it a tad more annoying to use, but these links should work: Base Game or Base Game + DLC

Edit: itch filters the links as they’re not standard web links, you’ll need to paste lutris:crosscode-itchio-64-bit or lutris:crosscode-itchio-64-bit-new-ho into your browser’s address bar respectively.

I’m on Windows, can you teach me how to update CC’s nwjs on there? I’ve attempted a few times to do it over the past days but I don’t understand runtime environments at all.

Extract the game into a directory
Delete CrossCode.exe
Extract nwjs 0.62.0 on top of the game, replacing any existing files
Rename nw.exe to CrossCode.exe

Should be able to run and be fine afterwards

Thanks! Works great. Didn’t realize literally all of the game’s code is contained in the assets folder. Not sure why this hasn’t been pushed to the game by RFG/D13 if it’s that easy, but doing it manually works in the meantime. I wonder, since this thread has done so off-topic, could it be renamed? Or maybe one of us should make a new post just detailing the manual nwjs updating procedure for all platforms so more people can see it.

It has the potential to introduce bugs, but I haven’t run into any so maybe it’s fine.

The correct way to upgrade, on part of the developers, would be to build the game against the newer nwjs version and then release the new build. There’s probably been some breaking API changes so it’s not as easy for them and probably needs some code and/or build environment changes.

If they do upgrade the correct way, there’s a decent chance the game will run quite a bit faster, as there’s been a lot of improvements to the build toolchain since nwjs 0.35.5 [which is the last version mentioned in crosscode’s changelog, maybe they’re on a newer one as 0.35.5 shipped with 1.2.0-5]

I suppose I can make a post with instructions for all three major platforms.

Makes sense that it could introduce bugs, so I guess that’s why it hasn’t officially upgraded yet. A post with instructions would be great, maybe even with instructions for the unofficial Android port?
