CrazyCattle3D "Not Working" Fix
This post is for users who can't get CrazyCattle3D.exe to work on Windows (not guaranteed). Earlier this day I downloaded CrazyCattle3D from https://4nn4t4t.itch.io/crazycattle3d (their official site). When I attempted to launch the .exe file what showed up is a transparent window that closes after 2-3 seconds.
I started troubleshooting the app using the --verbose command line on Powershell, and what I got was WARNING: Your video card drivers seem not to support Vulkan, switching to Direct3D 12.
So, apparently my graphics card does not support Vulkan nor Direct3D 12, and the solution was to run it on OpenGL3 or OpenGL3_ANGLE. The tutorial is below.
Step 1: Right click on CrazyCattle3D.exe, and create a shortcut in the same folder. Step 2: Right click on the created shortcut, and go to properties. Step 3: At the end of the Target path, add --rendering-driver opengl3 , click apply, then launch the game through the created shortcut.
Note: You can also try replacing the opengl3 with vulkan , d3d12 or opengl3_angle if the line above didn't fix it for you.
Again, this is not guaranteed to work, but it did work for me so you might as well give it a try. Lmk if it did work for you or not.
