Addressables Folder Causing Gang Beasts to Not Launch

On 13th June 2024, Gang Beasts Update 1.23 was pushed live to all currently supported platforms. The key modification to the game in this update was the implementation of Unity’s Addressables Asset System, the adoption of this system standardised and optimised the process for testing and releasing game content. 

The Addressables implementation was a significant modification to the game and we expect the 1.23 build to trigger some limited stability issues on Windows, macOS, and Linux platforms. The instructions for fixing this issue are:

Windows:

  • Open File Explorer
  • Go to this path replacing 'YourUser' with the users name on the computer you are playing on - C:\Users\YourUser\AppData\LocalLow\Boneloaf\Gang Beasts
  • Delete the folder called com.unity.addressables

macOS:

  • Open Finder
  • Go to path replacing YourUser with the users name on the mac you are playing on - /Users/YourUser/Library/Application Support/com.Boneloaf.GangBeasts
  • Delete the folder called com.unity.addressables

SteamOS/Linux (including Steam Deck):

  • Open Dolphin
  • Go to this path - /home/deck/.config/unity3d/Boneloaf/Gang Beasts/
  • Delete the folder called com.unity.addressables

If you are playing Gang Beasts on a Steam Deck, switch to Desktop Mode first then follow the above SteamOS/Linux steps.
