Content Warning: How to fix Failed to Extract Error

Fix it temporarily for now to extract your footage.

Content Warning is the latest co-op survival indie to go free-to-play on Stream. The game provides you with an opportunity to have a SpöökTube Career and earn a glamorous life by filming horrific incidents—if you make it past the Failed to Extract Error.

According to StreamDB, after the game went free on Stream, it gained 200,000 concurrent players, quickly making Content Warning a surprise hit. In the game, you need to capture viral content on your camera while going out to the Old World with your friends and upload the video on SpöökTube. You can extract your camera’s footage into the Video Extraction Machine. However, an error has been going around preventing people from extracting the footage. Here’s how you can fix it.

According to the developers, you can temporarily press F3 to debug and extract the video. However, the developers are currently working on a permanent solution to fix this issue, along with problems with voice chat and many more.

The “Failed to Extract Error” error on people’s devices stops them from extracting the footage they gained for their trip to the Old World. This is different from people not being able to find their saved footage, which could be you missing where the game puts saved videos.

It is unclear what is causing this error at the moment. Still, it seems to be affecting a vital part of the game: extracting the footage from the camera and uploading it on Spooktube to earn money and further earn money to upgrade your gear in Content Warning. Thus, you can use the workaround for now and keep making videos.

Once you’ve fixed that problem, you can change your in-game faces using this guide.
