My 8 year old daughters favorite game is Broforce; unfortunately, it has been glitching & randomly freezing the last 2 or 3 AGS updates. She has 98% completed the game and I told her I might have to purge the game and reinstall it which will loser her saved progress. She starred at me with dismay followed by endless tears pouring from her face. Before I uninstall and reinstall do you know if there is a way to preserve the saved data?

Did the uninstall/reinstall work for you?

@Uthuidos the save files for Broforce are located here:
C:\Users[YOUR USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\polycade\games\drm-free\Broforce\Saves

If you move / copy the saves folder somewhere else (i.e. to your documents folder), then you can delete the rest of the Broforce files and have AGS reinstall.

This fix did not work for us on our Polycade Lux machine. We have the latest updates for Windows, AGS and Graphics Card. Daughter is on level 15 where she enters Satans world. Every time they play, it immediately freezes on him or when they die because of him. We have to exit the game via task manager every time.

VincentAdultman Uthuidos We're still seeing issues with Broforce, but there may be a work around in the meantime. Try this:

Exit Polycade AGS
Launch the Broforce app directly, by double clicking this file:
C:\Users[your username]\AppData\Roaming\polycade\games\drm-free\Broforce\Broforce.exe

Let us know if you're able to play this way!

@Uthuidos No--the uninstall/reinstall did not work for me. I'm still not able to play it. I had a long chat with @saulonunes about this (and a few other issues I was having), and he told me that polycade is "getting a new version of Broforce." So for now I'm just playing the waiting game. If you do figure out a solution, please let me know--it's my son's favorite game as well. But it seems like the company is actively looking for a fix.

Yes, playing the *.exe worked without freezing/glitching. My youngest daughter crushed skulls, defeated Satan and Saved the Day all while wearing her water-based Ariel tattoo.

Haha, glad to hear it!! That helps us hone in on the issue as well. Will post any updates here as we figure out what the conflict is.

Hello, any update around a fix for Broforce vs launching the app manually? Game still freezes in AGS & now SpeedRunners tries to load (99%) then shuts off.
