The latest patch in Volcano Princess has caused a bug where many players get stuck and their game freezes after receiving a letter from any of the characters.
Players either can’t open the letter or are unable to click out of it once opened. This is caused by letters from various NPCs, including Mona, Lesba, the blacksmith, and the nun.
To fix this issue, you will need to make a small change in the contents of the game’s files or ignore letters until they add a new patch.
In this guide, I will explain how to fix the letter issue in Volcano Princess that causes players to freeze after receiving any letters.
Volcano Princess – Freezing After Receiving Letter
This issue is caused when opening any letters in the game after the most recent patch.
This causes the game to freeze and become unplayable, thus forcing players to restart upon receiving a letter.
This issue will happen consistently and you have two options for fixing it. The first involves waiting for the developers to add a hotfix.
Hopefully, since this issue has been troubling many, it will be fixed within a few days. You can keep playing, but you’ll need to avoid opening any letters at all.
The second solution, which works instantly, requires you to alter the game’s files to roll back the update which caused this bug. Let’s see how.
How to Fix Getting Stuck After Receiving Letters in Volcano Princess
To fix this issue, you will need to roll back to a previous update by accessing the game’s files. Here’s what you’ll need to do:
- Launch Steam and close Volcano Princess.
- Press Windows key + R.
- Type “steam://open/console”.
- In the console that just opened, type “download_depot 1669980 1669981 7590118745015040093”.
- Find your Steam folder, and then navigate to Steamapps -> Content -> app1669980 -> depot 1669981.
- Copy everything from that folder.
- Right-click Volcano Princess on Steam, select Manage -> Browse Local Files.
- In there, paste everything you just copied and that’s all.
With that, you’ll be able to roll back Volcano Princess to the previous update that didn’t cause this issue.
Make sure to wait for the download to finish and have enough space on your disk for the download.
Wrapping up
To summarize, to fix the freezing after receiving a letter issue in Volcano Princess, either wait for a fix from the developers or alter the game’s files.
