0) How to update RimPy program?

Delete RimPy (program) folder. Open SteamWorkshop page, find download link and download new version of RimPy. Unpack program in new folder. Run RimPy.

1) RimPy crashes

Report issue to our Discord server, include next data:

1. RimPy version you use
2. userCreatedRules.json file (from %userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow\RimPy Mod Manager)
3. Crash log file (from [RimPy folder]\logs)

2) To disable status bar help in development requests, add next line to Manual section of config.ini file:

DisableHelpRequestNotification = True

3) I get "ERROR! Download item failed (I/O Operation failed)" when using RimPy Downloader, how can I fix that?

Reinstall SteamCMD: delete SteamCMD folder and resetup it in RimPy. Also never run Hamachi when using downloader!

4) Main RimPy window is white/blank after program startup

You GPU is too old and do not support OpenGL 2 functions. Check if you have opengl32sw.dll on your system and put in the same folder as Rimpy.exe. If you do not have it on your PC, try to get it from here:
https://download.qt.io/development_releases/prebuilt/llvmpipe/windows/opengl32sw-64.7z

5) [Linux] I get "error while loading shared libraries: libpcre.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

Create RimPy.sh file in RimPy folder (with rights chmod +x):
#!/bin/bash
LD_PRELOAD="libpcre.so.3:$LD_PRELOAD" ./RimPy

6) Can I set startup parameters for game to start, like "-popupwindow"?

Yes you can, press RMB on Run button to do that.
