Issues unresolved

Crash on startup

Some graphics cards are unable to correctly tell Hacknet what resolution they use.
Some older graphics cards crash when scanlines are enabled by default, disabling scanlines in the settings.txt configuration file then starting the game resolves this issue.
The developer is working on a permanent solution.[citation needed]
Manually add settings file[5]

Go to the installation folder and replace the content of settings.txt with this:

1280
1008
true
bloom: true
scanlines: true
muted: false
volume: 0.3
fontConfig: default
hasSaved: True
shouldMultisample: True
defaultLocale: en-us
drawMusicVis: True

Notes

The first two lines are the screen resolution values. The third line contains a boolean value to toggle fullscreen mode.
Using 1008 rather than 1024 seems to solve the black screen issue on startup.[citation needed] Adjust resolution accordingly.
Change compatibility settings[5]
  1. Go to the installation folder.
  2. Right-click Hacknet.exe, then click on Properties.
  3. Go to the Compatibility tab.
  4. Check Run in 640x480 resolution and Run this program as an Administrator.
  5. Click OK.

Notes

Uncheck Run in 640x480 resolution once the resolution has been set in the in-game options menu.
