Game doesnt start up

Hi,
when i start the game, it loads with the usual loadingscreen of a inline six, but halfway there, it stops loading and windows says: ''Automation has stopped working.''
Does anyone has a solution? Becouse in the previous version this didnt happens.

Re: Game doesnt start up

Can you try to clean out your engines and platforms folder in Documents/Automation?

Re: Game doesnt start up

That did the trick, thankyou Killrob.
But how did it happened that it would work again after cleaning my Engines and Platforms folders?

Re: Game doesnt start up

At that stage of the loading screen, before the valve-cover gets put on, it scans the content folders for files to initialize them. Easiest way to break the game? :P Drop a platform lua file into the engines folder (I did that out of stupidity once hehe). In your case you probably had ancient saves that no longer were compatible with the game.

Re: Game doesnt start up

Okay, seems about right, cus my engine folder was full with old engine saves.
Anyways, questions are answered, this topic can be closed.

Edit: Spelling edit... My english is terrible.

Locked as requested. Anyone who still has any questions on this should head over to the "Stops Loading?" sticky thread in the same sub-forum.
