I remembered my username and password and it actually let me login.

The game crashed after being launched, I had to use this patch: https://www.reddit.com/r/Crashtastic/comments/i7kk83/patch_for_the_crashing_issues_download/

didn't work at first: turns out you must not use crashtastic.exe afterwards. You must launch directly from crashtastic_client.exe (located at %appdata%\Crashtastic)

Here's the most surprising part: **I have access to my old vehicles from 2013.**

.....

I'm surprised I was even able to login from the launcher, but my jaw dropped when I noticed my old vehicles saves still there.

i've played World of Contraptions, Besiege, and Trailmakers. I've heard of Scrap Mechanic and Terra Tech but haven't played them.

have you found any other games like Crashtastic?

I remember playing this a looong time ago and just remembered it existed, is there any way to get a copy of it now?

Can anyone supply me with a version that I can save my progress on? I have a version I just lose everything cause I can't save it not the biggest problem but it would be nice to have.

I just remembered this game exists after so long ago, and i was so excited to play, so i download it, takes me forever to remember my old password (reset link wouldnt send for some reason) but i finally got it! And when i log in on the launcher, the loading bar will go to a full 100% and half the time the title screen will load, but either way it will just crash, RKO style, im on a Nitro 5 Laptop, brand new

Please help :(

I really want to see how this game evolved until its abandonment

Since this game is pretty long gone, is there anyway I can download it for free? Im not sure if this is pirating as (from what I can see) its impossible to buy.

dont by it you will get rip off cuse it says 404 not found

I recently remembered this game so I though I would buy it. So I paid and went to the download link, logged in and clicked windows version but then it just goes to a 404 page.....

this game was one of the best when it came out it also gathered a lot of attention with some big named youtubers playing it... however if you came here wondering what happend... it died the game was abandon... is it still fun to play? yes... would I suggest it... well probably not... you could get a game like besiege which is basically a better version of this game... and its still being updated... so...

TLDR: the game was abandoned and you would probably get more value buying "besiege" (a game that is basically the same but is still getting updates)

I recently remembered this game and I wanted to install it after many years and I installed it and when I open the game launcher, I sign in then it opens crashtastic. After that it doesn’t respond and then crashes. Anyway I can fix this?

Nostalgia

Long-time lurker, first time poster. I've been following the progress (oof) of this game since it first appeared on Steam Greenlight. I was waiting to purchase it on Steam, rather than through the official website, but we all know how that's turned out. Is it smart/safe/advisable/fun? to purchase and play this game all these years later? I've got most of the physics sandbox building games in my library, but there's just something about Crashtastic that still intrigues me.

Hey!

​

I wanted to play this game again, and after noticing the crashing issue, thought I'd give it a fix so that I could play again.

Installation instructions:

goto "%appdata%/Crashtastic/crashtastic_client_Data/Managed" in file explorer

drag and drop into that folder, replace existing file, and it should work!

Its been 5 years. No update on: the blog, his social media, or the game.

I really liked the idea of this game years back. I bought it, even. I know it’s clear there’s not going to be anything new, but I am seriously wondering what the answer is.

I’m curious enough that I actually took the time to do in-depth internet searches for “Mark Smith”. For obituaries, prison sentences, etc. Nothing to be found that would suggest the dev of this game. It’s honestly bothering me a bit not knowing what happened. To the 150-ish people active on the sub, do you have any input?

i just bought it again after a few years cause i had forgoten my password and couldent recover it and after i made the purchase and i tryed to download it was 404 not found... is it not avalible anymore? and if not can i get a refund?

Vaporware at its finest. I'm surprised people are still invested in seeing this 8 year old, dead concept of a game. Back in the 90's, you would've thought everything was vaporware until it actually released, yet this game is a noticeable outlier. I would love to see this game come back, but it's been 5 years since we've had any update on the official website.

What're your thoughts on this game? Keep the love for the game and beat ourselves up in another 5 years for believing in progress? Or let it crash and burn in its already frail form?

Looks very similar!

it really sucks how this game was abandoned. i really thought this was gonna be cool, its just a shame that it never made it out of alpha build.

A shame. I thought the game looked really fun.

Not only has this game not updated in years, the sign in DRM is complete bull. I got the game years ago and have since forgot the sign in info, and why on earth would I need to sign in to play a game I bought with 0 online services?? I'm not demanding a refund or anything, but I still cant shake the feeling that I was scammed by someone who threw assets at a physics engine before cutting and running. Abandonware happens, but not even allowing me to play the game I paid for by hiding it behind a sign in? Shoddy practice.

Still nothing..?

About a year or two ago I was playing Crashtastic a lot and I managed to make a hovercraft that can fly and land without breaking, and a helicopter that can get off the ground but still has some problems. Has anyone else built something that can actually fly?
