|
## Game is stuck after running scripts!
|
|
|
|
You may have created an infinite loop with no sleep. You'll have to restart the game by killing all scripts.
|
|
|
|
- On Browser: Stick `?noScript` at the end of the URL
|
|
- On Steam:
|
|
- In the menu, "Reloads" -> "Reload & Kill All Scripts".
|
|
- If this does not work, when launching the game, use the kill all scripts option.
|

|
## Steam: Where is the save game located?
|
|
|
|
To maintain compatibility with the web browser version, the save game is not stored as a file on your filesystem. It lives inside the localStorage of the WebKit instance. Export the save (and back it up!) in the option menu.
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Steam: Game won't stop / Game is shown as "Running"
|
|
|
|
Due to a limitation with the way Steam tracks the game, if you launch an external link (such as documentation), Steam may keep tracking the game as "Running" even after it is closed. Simply close the web browser to fix this.

|
## Steam: How do I get to the game files? <a name="game-files"></a>
|
|
|
|
Right-click the game in your Steam library, then go into "Manage" -> "Browse Local Files". The game can be launched directly from that location if you're having issues with Steam.

## Steam: Game won't launch
|
|
|
|
### **On Windows**
|
|
|
|
If the game is installed on a network drive, it will fail to start due to a [limitation in Chromium](https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/27356).
|
|
|
|
If you cannot move the game to another drive, you'll have to add `--no-sandbox` to the launch options. In your Steam Library, right click the game and hit "Properties". You'll see the "launch options" section in the "General" window.
|
|
|
|
### **On Linux**
|
|
|
|
The game is built natively. Do not use Proton unless native does not work.
|
|
|
|
When launching the game, you will be prompted with three options. If the standard launch does not work, you may attempt the `--disable-seccomp-filter-sandbox` or `--no-sandbox` launch options. If this still does not work, the game should be able to start by launching it directly or through the terminal. See [How do I get to the game files?](#game-files).

### Logs (using [electron-log](https://github.com/megahertz/electron-log#readme))
|
|

|

|
|
|
|
- on Linux: `~/.config/bitburner/logs/main.log`
|
|
- on macOS: `~/Library/Logs/bitburner/main.log`
|
|
- on Windows: `%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\bitburner\logs\main.log`
|
|
|
|
### Config (using [electron-store](https://github.com/sindresorhus/electron-store#readme))
|
|
|
|
Configuration files can be found in the application's data directory.
|
|
|
|
- on Linux: `~/.config/bitburner/config.json`
|
|
- on macOS: `~/Library/Application\ Support/bitburner/config.json`

## Steam: What is the API Server?

|
|
|
The API Server allows the official [Visual Studio Code Extension](https://github.com/bitburner-official/bitburner-vscode) to push script files from VSCode to your in-game home.
