FAQ

Aniimo will not launch — what do I do first?

Open Steam, right-click Aniimo, go to Properties → Installed Files → Verify integrity of game files. Then update your graphics driver and restart. Most launch failures are fixed by these two steps.

How much free space does Aniimo need?

The official Steam page lists about 45 GB on PC. An older beta guide mentioned 30 GB, but use the 45 GB store figure as your baseline.

Where do I report an Aniimo bug?

Use the in-game customer service, the official Discord, the in-game "Stuck Report," or the feedback option in Settings. Collect your GPU, CPU, RAM, Windows version, and driver versions first.

Aniimo will not launch — first steps

If Aniimo fails to start, run the universal Steam fixes first — these resolve the large majority of launch problems across PC games:

Verify game files — Steam → right-click Aniimo → Properties → Installed Files → Verify integrity of game files.
Update your GPU driver — NVIDIA/AMD/Intel, then restart.
Update Windows and repair Visual C++ redistributables if prompted.
Disable overlays — Discord, NVIDIA, AMD, MSI Afterburner, antivirus, and recording tools.
Reinstall as a last resort after the steps above.

Aniimo keeps crashing or freezing

When the game crashes mid-session, capture the basics before reporting: your GPU, CPU, RAM, Windows build, and driver versions, plus the exact moment of the crash. From the beta emergency guide, the studio’s own advice was:

Freeze → force-close and restart the client.
Visual freeze → use Alt+F4 to exit, then lower graphics settings.
Low memory → close background apps or restart.
Unstable network → use 5 GHz Wi-Fi or a wired connection; avoid proxies/VPNs.

Common error codes and fixes

Specific launch-day error codes will be listed here once the game is live. For now, the steps above cover the most common “black screen / 0xc0000142 / launch loop” patterns.

Where to get official help

In-game customer service and the Settings → feedback option.
Official Discord and the in-game “Stuck Report.”
Collect your system specs first so support can act quickly.

Once real launch issues appear, we will document them on this page and link fixes from the release date page and the platforms overview. For platform-specific help, the system requirements page lists the supported hardware.
