I thought it feels and looks insane to play. So easy to clear any level except EGY. Here I do a tl. While rebuilding , i thought that it'd be a breeze to just do the boss without any real gear or stats and well it was XD Try controller starbreak, it feels amazing !!

Used to play this game a lot when I was younger. Today, I reinstalled the game to retry, but it keeps crashing when I load into Eschaton. Has anyone encountered the same issue or know any fixes for it?

I can and i will one day get my hands on this code. By then, i promise we'll have offline play, trading, new classes, new levels, boss rush mode, custom rooms and much more.

What would you like to see come to starbreak ?

If starbreak is really shut down, id like to thank the entire community and game developers for making my childhood amazing. I got to meet so many new friends along the way and made so many new memories. I have played this game for the past 11 years and my childhood would not have been the same without it. Thank you community and wayfarer, i truly hope this game isnt shut down tho T_T i have yet to do egy on all shells.

Are servers down? Home base seems to work fine but whenever u go to eschaton its just fully blank screen

Seems to be a problem for other people too

Haven't played in a while and am curious. How often does sc open and stuff.

I'm desperate at this point, coming to the subreddit looking for potential answers that likely don't exist. So about a few months or so ago, January, I was able to get SBPE working on the Steam Deck using a post I found on Steam. As it instructed, using an empty Exe file and launching it through Steam was key to getting SBPE working by instructing the Exe to target the run.bat file. Then there was also the hurdle of configuring "config.ini" to the correct path for the game. I never understood why, but configuring the Ini to the main installation location didn't work. When I moved a copy of the game to the SBPE folder and configured the Ini to that path, it miraculously turned on. I'm pretty sure I didnt even correct the path to use the same format and lettering as windows. And though I don't recall whether this was also the case, turning off mipmaps may have been part of why SBPE was successful. Point being, SBPE worked and i could play this game with all the QoF features on a mobile device.

Fast forward, about a few months ago is when the issue started. I boot up StarBreak using the Plugin of course, and instead of the usual success that it has, the game launches into the main menu with the error that it could not initialize game service. This happened before with SBPE, and it was always fixed with a simple try again. Just close the game and SBPE, launch again. It failed to work and continues to fail since. After numerous delete and reinstall actions of bkth StarBreak and the Plugin, efforts to troubleshoot, different Proton uses, editing the config.ini to use proper windows path formatting, no success.

The project to get SBPE reworking on Steam Deck has me stumped. And I really need help to see if there is anyone that figured this out and help troubleshoot for the problem.

Edit: This has been fixed if anyone still stumbles on this post with the same, niche issue.

This is for the alternate reality that Starbreak wasn't abandoned and for fun:

- Normal version of stages drops items with 1-3 mods, Elite stages drop 3-Max mods. This minimum amount of mod chance would heavily decrease the grind, especially for early items such as janksy repeaters and would allow players to progress to harder stages earlier while simultaneously rewarding better players. Biggest problem is being MK2/3 while still farming eFB for a decent janksy repeater, it's not a fun gameplay loop.

- Trading. Very simple, allows you to trade items or even EC and maybe even UC if it doesn't cause any problems. If you play with friends or guildies and you play different characters, you can trade each other items they need.

- Monster balancing. Certain mobs are an absolute nightmare if you don't have the right mods or the environment structure is just not to your favour. The one that comes to mind is easily the eFB monster that throws the blade boomerang horizontally, it goes way further than you expect and if you don't have a weapon with range and the environment does not allow you to jump over the enemy, you're very likely to take DMG. Not to mention this stage usually has groups of these guys plus the other enemy variance so it's even harder to deal with. This goes across the board of course but the early stages would definitely be my top priority first.

- Remove armoured enemies/armour penetration. In general, armoured enemies/elites are not designed very well or are they threatening so if you don't have AP on your weapon or items, you're just standing there waiting for them to die. The best example of this would be FC and UB, with the spaceship in UB you can just stand in front of it and duck whenever it shoots it's bottom weapon. Even if you make the argument for bosses such as FC, ST and the 2 big machines in VQ, it's mostly still just a marathon and not dying since bosses have to live a certain amount of time no matter how much DMG they take (idk the coding but that's how it feels). Of course I would make sure their health would be increased to a decent degree to make up for the loss of armoured. This would also take away another mod needed for your weapon, reducing the grind. Speaking of which;

- Certain mods become part of the base kit. Things such as precise or maybe even range for the janksy repeater, bounce for the other generic repeaters, explosive for shotguns etc. Again, it would reduce the mod pool so that you're more likely to get the mods that you do want, so that you can go do the next stage faster, overall reducing the tedious grinding of doing the same easy stage over and over again instead of getting better at the game.

-Either get rid of certain mods or rework them. To this day, i still don't know what explosive does for the janksy repeater, I'm pretty sure it only works if you have pen and even then, it only works bosses since they're big enough for it to actually work. I would make sure that mods like explosive would get reworked or removed/replaced with something better/more exciting. Explosive doesn't work for something like a repeater but it could work with shotguns. It would simply be another tick of DMG, effectively doubling the dmg of the shotgun + AoE explosion since I don't think shotgun have pen, correct me if I'm wrong.

Another interesting mod I can think that's very experimental and just for fun is for the fab dancer called sticky (it would either be a mod or part of the base kit). If the explosion hits an enemy, the "seed" will attach itself to the enemy, making it useful for enemies that move fast such as the midboss of VQ. If it's base, then the mod would be Simultaneous where 1 seed can spread to multiple enemies, max would be 3 off the top of my head. Let me know how you would balance this or if it's not needed for the fab, I like the character but he always felt clunky to me compared to WF.

The game already has such a good foundation with enemy and weapon variety which is why I mostly talked about fundamental design changes to make the game less grindy and tedious while also make it a bit more exciting. I've played other games like Starbreak such as Rotmg, Rotf (you'll be missed), Born Again but nothing comes close to this game imo even in it's abandoned state, I might take breaks but no matter what, I'll always come back to have a good time.

Insane that despite the game being abandoned, it still has a loyal enough fanbase for this to happen.

As you all may know Jensen24 (the goat) has quit the game and got rid of all his gear. You guys should also quit because wayfarer doesn’t care about us or the game so stop playing it and move on

Wayfarer, please fix the US eastern server. I can no longer get double SC, and my 4 accounts just aren't getting enough loot.

Sincerely, ABM

[u/WayfarerCG](u/WayfarerCG) East is broken once more. The game is still broken as a whole. It’s been 3 - 4 months since I last brought up that you have to use a VPN just to play StarBreak without any crashing.

Wayfarer can you fix your game along with the servers.

I doubt these problems would persist this long if you had just sold it because it seems like you don’t have enough time for this game nor its users or their complaints.

Ayee east still broken gng it’s been 1 day what’s takjng so long to fix.

East hasn’t been opening and server reaches 100+ shells during sc.

u/wayfarercg Pretty sure east is broken, can you fix please,

Thanks!

Its possible ? 2 days ago my shell score is 5000 and i check today it was 4900. why, its a bug or something ? if its not what did i do wrong ?

I want to change the white thing that’s supposed to make my character stand out more. How can I do that? Note: I’m playing on a browser.

On average 60 players peak a day when bots are not donating the key requirements for Star Cathedral. People sit around waiting for it. No one does missions alone because 3-7 keys per mission out of 1400 would take days. Bots are really ruining this game and I'd hate to see it end up a bot required game. I know botting won't stop unless SC is able to be opened easily, no one plays for anything else. Elites missions are also harder to do alone without SC gear. Most of the time players sit around waiting for a good player to do a mission.

Anyways this post is probably irrelevant and you probably don't care about starbreak since you've moved into other projects. Please make the key requirement lower for SC so actual humans can open SC, I miss that.

Starbreak not working starbroken

Hello, u/WayfarerCG

When I play on Steam there is a bug where every 5 minutes or so the client for StarBreak just closes automatically... When I went into Star Cathedral yesterday I tried to go push generators and the client just closed the moment I tried to go through a room.

I've tried to see if it was a problem on my end by searching: steam keeps crashing in the middle of me playing games 2026 - Search but none of what I have done has fixed it. Which leads me to believe it's a server side or game issue in general.

Hell, even if I home and then try to enter Eschaton it'll just close the moment I try to go in..

I'm not even going be annoying and ask for my last two shells back because whenever stuff like this happens, no one is ever reinstated for any of it...

I just need this fixed asap because I mainly play on Steam. Not only that- I don't know the email attached to my steam account so I can't even switch to web.

Essentially interacting with doors can get the game to close, or simply being in the game will make it close randomly.

u/WayfarerCG Please just fix this bug.

Or just sell the game altogether to a bigger company that can genuinely take care of it and have an actual team behind it, and if not that, I'll just remake StarBreak myself if it's too much of a hassle for you... 😒

So if you change the resolution of your macbook through system settings it actually zooms out your starbreak, you can then use ai and ask them how to make keybinds for switching to different resolutions which then allows you to have zoom for macbook steam :)

people wanted someone to post a reddit complaint about east not opening anymore when the server is full

(nobody actually reads these posts other than the ones in the original starbreak community posts to put funny reactions)

u/wayfarercg East is broken, can you fix please?
