Game crashes at start

[schusy]

Hey!

I have around 5 hours of play time and was close to finishing the introduction, when I decided to start a new map. When going to the main menu, the game crashed and I haven’t been able to start it since. Whenever I try to start the game through Steam, a little window with a yellow airplane and a big red exclamation mark in the corner pops up and disappears again after a second - that’s it.

I have tried to reboot my PC, reinstall the game, delete local saves and disable Steam Cloud saves, none of which have solved the problem.

I have also read in other threads that there’s an output.txt file somewhere, but I cannot find it anywhere in the game files or the AppData directory.

I’m grateful for any advice!

Hmmm, I’ve never experienced this… Maybe someone else has some ideas? @Olof

That box with the plane icon comes from the Unity engine.
I do get sometimes crashes too when I want to leave any savegame back to the main menu, but after that it is still possible to start the game again.

It’s also quite strange that it keeps happening even if I delete all files associated to the game and completely re-install it.
