So I just purchased The Stanley Parable so I can try the game out for myself without having to... go on some sketchy website and download it.

And after purchasing it, I installed the game, boot the game up, and it was playing fine... until a few minutes later when it suddenly hang up. No error messages, it just... crash without a reason.

Trying to find out why it crash, I ran Steam using the terminal so I can see the log. But unfortunately, no error messages showed up when the game hang.

After some digging on the Internet, I tried out some workaround like:

  • Setting the game to a lower resolution
  • Deleting the bin/libstdc++.so.6

But still, nothing changed. Game still hang up after few minutes of playing.

I'm guessing this is a problem with the Source engine that the original game was written in, cause The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe launched and work just fine without any sort of issues.

Or it might just be because my computer is missing some weird dependencies which the game needed after.

I mean, it is an 9 years old game now, so maybe it's so old that it might need some patch. So what this problem might be?

  • Are you running it via Proton? Deleting bin/libstdc++.so.6 is only recommended if you're running native, according to the ProtonDB page: protondb.com/app/221910

  • I'm running the game natively, and I've already tried deleting the file, but it did no help. Also I read that it's used to fix the game hang up on startup, not hang up after few minutes of playing
