The game crashes to desktop specifically when traversing one of the tower's red portals at the moment another player or NPC is attacking you.
Also appears as: swordeye crash red portal, swordeye crashes going through portal, swordeye crash to desktop portal, swordeye portal crash fix
This was a real, official crash bug during Swordeye's early playtests, not a one-off report — developer castavernas (ALX Theory LLC) listed "Fixed crash issue with traversing red portals when being attacked" in the Update 0.6.60 patch notes, published on the game's Steam news hub. If you're on the current build and still hitting a crash at a red portal under fire, it's a new issue rather than this one, and worth a fresh report; if you're playing an older cached build or offline copy from before that patch, updating should resolve it.
What to try
- 01Update to the current build — the developer's Update 0.6.60 patch notes list this exact crash ("traversing red portals when being attacked") as fixed.Confirmed
- 02If a crash still happens at a red portal on the current build, it's a different issue from this one — report it with your build version in the Steam Discussions bug thread or the official Discord's #bug-reports channel so the developer can distinguish it from the already-fixed 0.6.60 bug.Reported
