Troubleshooting Atanua: Common Issues and Quick Fixes
1. Atanua won’t start / crashes on launch
- Cause: Corrupted settings or incompatible GPU drivers.
- Quick fixes:
- Update your GPU drivers (NVIDIA/AMD/Intel) to the latest stable release.
- Delete or rename the Atanua settings folder (on Windows:
%APPDATA%\Atanua), then relaunch to regenerate defaults. - Run Atanua as Administrator and try compatibility modes (Windows ⁄7).
- Check the game log (if present) for error messages and search specific error text online.
2. Poor performance / low FPS
- Cause: High scene complexity, shader settings, or outdated drivers.
- Quick fixes:
- Reduce scene complexity: remove or disable high-poly models and unnecessary lights.
- Lower rendering quality in preferences (shadow resolution, texture size).
- Enable GPU hardware acceleration if available; update drivers.
- Close background apps that use GPU/CPU (browser, video software).
3. Graphics glitches (flickering, missing textures)
- Cause: Driver issues, VRAM limits, or corrupted assets.
- Quick fixes:
- Update or roll back GPU drivers to a stable version.
- Verify integrity of Atanua files (reinstall if needed).
- Reduce texture resolution or simplify materials.
- Test with a different graphics API or settings (if the game offers OpenGL/DirectX options).
4. Input/device not responding (mouse/keyboard/controller)
- Cause: Conflicting input drivers or focus/priority problems.
- Quick fixes:
- Ensure the device works in other apps; reconnect USB or try another port.
- Disable overlay software (Discord, Steam overlay) that can steal focus.
- Check in-game input settings and reset to defaults.
- Run as Administrator and ensure no other app has exclusive control.
5. Audio problems (no sound or distorted audio)
- Cause: Wrong output device, sample-rate mismatch, or driver problems.
- Quick fixes:
- Select correct audio output in your OS and restart Atanua.
- Update audio drivers and set sample rate to 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz.
- Disable exclusive mode in sound device properties.
- Reinstall or verify game files.
6. File import/export failures
- Cause: Unsupported formats or corrupted files.
- Quick fixes:
- Convert models to a supported format (OBJ/FBX as applicable) and check for non-manifold geometry.
- Simplify or triangulate meshes in a 3D editor before import.
- Ensure texture paths are correct and embedded/relative paths are used.
- Check console/log for specific import error messages.
7. Mods or plugins causing instability
- Cause: Outdated or conflicting mods.
- Quick fixes:
- Disable all mods and re-enable them one-by-one to find the culprit.
- Update mods to versions compatible with your Atanua release.
- Keep a clean backup of the default installation for testing.
8. Save files corrupted or won’t load
- Cause: Interrupted writes or incompatible versions.
- Quick fixes:
- Look for automatic backups in the save directory and restore the latest good copy.
- Avoid using cloud sync while saving; disable until stable.
- Reinstall if save format mismatch persists between versions.
When to seek further help
- If quick fixes fail, collect: OS/version, GPU model & driver version, Atanua version, relevant log snippets, and reproduction steps. Provide these when posting on community forums or contacting support.
