Issues & Fixes

Multiple monitors issue

When running the game (on Steam) while using more than one monitor the screen of the game flashes multiple times before crashing or closing the game using the task manager.

  • Since the in-game options doesn't give a possibility to run the game windowed the only way to run it so is to force it through the 'Properties' menu. For exmaple disabling desktop themes and desktop compositsion.

Blue Screen of Death

World of Goo is known to cause a Blue Screen of Death for some people on start up, usually when the game has finished loading or when the 2D Boy logo appears. In most cases, this is due to an incompatibility with some newer NVIDIA drivers. Fortunately, there are two known ways this can be fixed.

  • If you've bought World of Goo outside of Steam, try installing it through the official site or Humble Bundle (or wherever you bought it from) without using Steam. This will however mean you will not be able to use Steam achievements or some other Steam functions.
  • If the first solution did not work, or you want to continue using World of Goo through Steam, try installing an older NVIDIA driver here, or here to roll back to a previous driver.
