Common Issues And Their Resolutions
Q: FAILED TO FIND SERVER EXECUTABLE
A: This is a common issue with Virus scanners. Follow these steps in order to fix this;
- Find out how to make an exception for Staxel in your Virus scanner. We do not recommend turning your Virus Scanner completely off, so exceptions is the next best thing.
- The next bit changes depending on which version of the game you are using.
- If you are using Steam: Head to you Steam Library and find Staxel. Right-Click on the name and click properties. Go to Local Files and then click Verify Integrity of Game Files.
- if you are using the Standalone Launcher: Open the launcher and click Validate.
- Run the game again and see if the issue is fixed.
Q: A PREMIUM ACCOUNT IS REQUIRED ON THIS SERVER.
A: You may not have registered on the launcher using the key that came with the Humble Bundle purchase to upgrade your account.
Q: EXTERNAL COMPONENT HAS THROWN AN EXCEPTION
A: Make sure your speakers are plugged in and working properly.
Q: SCREEN LOOKS SCRAMBLED, ZOOMED IN OR STRETCHED
A: Go to Options > General > Graphics and set the field of view back to “75” (default).
Q: ERROR ON LAUNCHER - “While unpacking CompressBundle, mismatched hash for ...”
A: This problem is sometimes encountered due to an antivirus program blocking the installation. Please make sure to add the Staxel directories to the exceptions list in your antivirus' settings.
Q: STAXEL HAS BAD PERFORMANCE
A: Turn down all your settings in Options > General > Graphics and then turning them back on individually to find the highest settings that will run smoothly on your computer. If you’re on a laptop make sure Staxel is using the best graphics card available. To do this, right click on your launcher and select “Run with graphics processor <Your dedicated card>”
Q: GAME STOPS RESPONDING WHEN I CLICK PLAY
A: This problem is sometimes encountered due to an antivirus program blocking Staxel from running. Please make sure to add the Staxel directories to the exceptions list in your antivirus' settings.
Q: "Access to the path "Staxel.Client.exe" is denied." ERROR POPS UP WHEN UPDATING STAXEL
A: This issue is likely related to having the game running still (or crashed in the background) or a virus scanner holding the file.
Other Issues
Q: "Why are some villagers and players green?
A: This is a rare issue causing Character Accessories (Player Hair's, Bodies etc) to either not load the colours correctly or display incorrectly. This seems to concern a display that has an incorrect/broken .icc. Try setting any monitor changes back to default. This article may be of use.

Blocked / Virus
Staxel might get blocked by browsers, Windows smartscreen or virusscanners.
As far as we can tell these issues will go away when Staxel is more popular and gets whitelisted by these products.
To the best of our knowledge Staxel, the launcher and the installer are safe. (Unless you didn't get the files directly from us !)
