Game crashes on launch

  4. Make sure you have not placed the Raven jar in your mods folder more than once.
  5. If the issue persists, try a different launcher such as Prism or GDLauncher.

Game freezes on the main menu

  2. Make sure your system clock is synced: Settings → Date & Time → Sync now (time.windows.com).
