Troubleshooting the Steam Version

Loading Doesn't Finish

For some people, the loading doesn't finish after they click the Play Game button. If you encounter this problem, you need to install the game using an MSIX package (see below). For some reason, your system is incompatible with the unpackaged Steam version.

MSIX Package in GitHub Releases

If the Steam version doesn't work for you, you can install an MSIX packaged version from GitHub Releases.

1. Download the Game as MSIX Package from GitHub Releases

  • Please note that the MSIX package has a .msix extension so that you download the right file.

2. Install the Game

Install the game using these instructions: Installing MSIX Packages on Windows 10 and 11

  • You need admin rights to do so.
  • The icon of GnollHack installed using the MSIX package will have a blue background.
