Use this page to quickly diagnose common problems before exploring platform-specific compatibility.

​
Akron Does Not Load

Confirm the following:
  • The Akron.zip archive is located in the active Everest Mods directory.
  • The game was launched using the same installation where you added the mod.
  • Everest has not disabled Akron due to a load error.
  • The Everest logs do not indicate missing dependencies or archive-shape errors.

​
Overlay Does Not Open

Confirm the following:
  • The overlay hotkey is correctly configured in the Everest keyboard/controller settings.
  • There are no conflicts with Celeste’s native controls or other installed mods.
  • The overlay is not hidden, off-screen, or scaled too small to be visible.
If the overlay still does not open, rebind the key through Everest controls and check the Everest log for errors before seeking further diagnostics.

​
Feature Is Blocked

Akron blocks or marks features based on the current policy and status state.
  1. Verify the visible policy and status state.
  2. Check the badge associated with the feature’s policy.
  3. Inspect the popup sub-options for any strict behavioral constraints.
  4. Use a non-submission setup if the feature is expected to mark the attempt status as “Cheat.”

​
Import Failure

Common causes for .akr import failures:
  • The file is not a valid Akron archive.
  • The archive contains missing or unexpected ZIP entries.
  • The manifest kind or version is not supported.
  • The payload exceeds the size limit.
  • The JSON payload is malformed or invalid.
  • The payload section does not match the requested import workflow.
See Akron .akr archives for the import contract.

​
Incorrect Capture Output

If a screenshot, room capture, map capture, or recorder output is missing or incorrect:
  • Verify the output folder path and filename template.
  • Confirm that the capture mode and resolution are set correctly.
  • Disable Streamer Mode if you need to see detailed path information.
  • Check if a timer-freeze or capture sub-option has altered the expected behavior.

​
Community Packs Are Empty

Confirm the following:
  • You are currently inside the map for which you expect packs.
  • The catalog URL is reachable and online.
  • The category filter is not overly restrictive.
  • The search text is not filtering out the desired pack.
  • The catalog entry’s map SID matches the current map’s SID.
