This is stuff you can do when starcheat stops working. Clearing local settings and checking you did the setup correctly is always a good first step.

If you've tried all this stuff but starcheat is still broken, please post a bug report in the GitHub issues for support.

Known issues

  • If you get a System Error dialog as soon as you run starcheat, you probably need this Windows update.

Reporting a new error

If starcheat still doesn't work at all you can try these steps:

  1. Follow these instructions and then try run starcheat again.
  2. If that doesn't work, please post a new bug report in the GitHub issues section. An ideal bug report contains this information.
