Launch Error Update Including Unity2022.3.8f1_b5eafc012955 Error

Hi Topians!

The following error has been appearing at launch for some of our players:



We understand this is frustrating to experience and wanted to make sure that we communicate why this is happening. This error occurs 95% of the time because the computer specs do not meet the minimum requirements for Hometopia at this time.

We are in Early Access and working really hard to optimize for more systems, but, for the time being, these are our minimum specs:

Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
OS: Windows 10 (64-bit versions)
Processor: Intel Core 8th gen
Memory: 8 GB RAM
Graphics: Nvidia GTX 1060 4GB
DirectX: Version 12
Network: Broadband Internet connection
Storage: 10 GB available space

How to check if your computer meets the specs:

Click on the Windows Start button, then click on Settings (the gear icon). In the Settings menu, click on System. Scroll down and click on About. (You must meet all requirements, including the dedicated graphics card, to play Hometopia at this time.)

If you have further questions, please feel free to reach out on Discord. (Join here: https://discord.gg/hometopia-604380109109198850) Please be sure to include your specific system details, so that we can better understand and address compatibility issues going forward.

If you are receiving this error, you may want to consider submitting a refund request. We hope you’ll revisit Hometopia once we've optimized for more system configurations!

Hi Topians!

Join us in this stream as Sam and Rachel from the Hometopia Team walk you through Career Mode, My Homes free building, and some Hometopia tutorials!

Hotfix #1

  • Issue causing unfair 1-star client reviews has been fixed
  • Multiplayer lobby can now be collapsed so it doesn't block job icons
  • Campaign objective window has been made shorter so it doesn't block job icons
  • Fixed an issue with render scale settings, which caused severe performance issues on lower settings in some cases
  • Volume sliders have been fixed so that turning off music doesn't turn off sound effects
  • Fixed message that appears when you try to buy land but are too low level so that it now says "You must be a rank 7 developer to buy land"
  • Landscaping jobs have been temporarily removed while we spray for bugs
  • A kitchen in one of the midtown heights homes was fixed so you will no longer get the "kitchen too small" message
  • Minor item balance
  • Notification for how to adjust quality settings
