Dusk troubleshooting when Dusk won't launch
Install the newest official release, extract it into a clean folder, and launch without mods. On Linux, make the AppImage executable. On macOS, use Apple Gatekeeper controls only for the official build.
Dusk troubleshooting black screen or graphics errors
Dusk v1.0.1 improved the no-graphics-backend message and fixed several Android graphics issues. Update first, then lower resolution and remove texture replacements for a clean test.
Dusk troubleshooting controller problems
Clear duplicate remappers, test native input, then add Steam Input only if needed. Dusk v1.0.1 fixed default controller mappings, Z/back binding, keyboard binds, and gyro-related issues.
Dusk troubleshooting texture packs
Texture packs fail most often because the folder is one level too deep, the wrong folder was copied, or another mod overwrote the same files. Keep a clean texture_replacements backup.
