Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens

I bought this game and found out there is a bug which makes it that if you try connecting to server your game crashes so for anyone looking for a fix this is what you need to do, press windows + r then type in %appdata% look for the folder named
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment click on it and look for the folder named lego stars force awakens, click on that and look for GUI3 and rename it to GUI3_Backup after you do that restart your computer and before launching the game turn off your internet and once it gets past the connecting to servers screen and says failed to connect you can turn your internet back on, if you play the game online while launching you need to do all these steps again.

The story levels:
Definitely some fun levels through the story it is really fun going through them and doesn't feel like a long time for me when you play through them all. It is nice that you can play free mode after you completed the level in story mode. It gives you the opportunity to find secrets in levels and to unlock all items/achievements that the game offers.
The achievements:
I love that every level gives you an achievement but you also have some harder achievements like completing the whole game 100% which is a little bit more challenging and will take you some more time. Makes it a little bit harder and gives you a great reason to keep playing the game for a longer time. Until the 100%
The graphics:
For a lego game the graphics are definitely not bad they are very good for only lego characters and a lego world.
The characters:
There are a lot of characters that you can unlock which is really nice if you recognize some from the Star wars franchise. It is also really nice that you can purchase some dlc packs to unlock more characters gives you more characters to play with through the game.
The game in general and would i recommend it?
I would definitely recommend it if you are into Lego games or if you are really into Star wars. It has many things to unlock and is fun to play through. You can visit islands to do missions which means you do not always have to do the story levels. It is really nice because you can go through the game at your own pace.

another fantastic lego game. there are a few bugs but not a huge issue. having already played the skywalker saga, i was worried some of the levels or content would be duplicated, or the game wouldn't be as fulfilling, but the levels were totally unique and were extremely immersive, whilst also having various missions in the open world to keep you busy. the game follows almost every scene in the film, there are 10x story levels + epilogue that directly relate to this film (7), but there is also a prologue which covers the finals events is film 6 which was a nice surprise. in addition, there are 6x adventure levels which you gradually unlock as you collect more gold bricks. the levels aren't specifically in the film, but are events that are mentioned by characters, so you get to see things from a new perspective. the rathtar hunting was my favourite level!
its also worth noting that 20 achievements relate to the dlc levels. there are 4x individual levels you can purchase, which have 5x achievements each, so achievement hunters may want to bear this in mind if you're looking to get 100%.

Great game and just in general is great. PC Version is a bit worse than the Console versions since this PC version instantly crashes the game whenever attempting to connect to the server. To solve this just delete GUI3 then connect without an internet connection. The graphics are great and the game is smoother on PC and is in general great with a good story line. Says I only played for 5 mins when I completed 4 levels and plus in return gave me no achievements as well whatsoever.

I am leaving this review here simply to show a fix i found and explain how it works in more detail for if other games have a similar issue or for people to actually be ware off how to fix it and why it's broken
Tldr/solution: in appdata\roaming\warner bros. Interactive entertainment\ lego star wars the force awakens\GUI3\Assets in there delete the file visitlego_offline_dx11 .TEX and it should be fixed
first i'm going to mention some other fixes i found and explain their flaws i still mention them because they lead me to finding the actual fix
Other fixes:
There are recommendations (notably in the steam community) to delete the gui3 folder entirely or to rename it but this only works to play offline due to steam fixing the files on launch
There is a fix where you simply remove everything in the gui3 folder without deleting subfolders this works as well as the fix i mentioned in the tldr it's simply a bit less useful and more time consuming due to there only being 1 actual problematic file
the actual problem file and explanation on why the other files are harmless:
The visitlego file is the one causing the game to automatically try to connect to servers and is the core issue due to the server not existing any longer it makes the game have an error and crash
the other files in the subfolders are fine and harmless (in the Assets subfolder those are simply links to websites and those still work and just open your steam browser: the dlc and season pass bring you to their steam pages while the 3rd one simply goes to a lego website)

9/10 I can honestly say I had fun playing this game. When I originally played this on PS4 I didn't like it, and I don't remember why. This game's comedy was better than a lot of the other Lego games, and the levels were all pretty reasonable in length. My only issues with this game was one or two buggy achievements and a similar dreadful experience for collectibles (similar to Skywalker Saga). Fun game. (also Boba Fett and General Grievous)
