Startup issues

HI all

New here and hope that you could all help with my problem.

I run the game in 1920 * 1080, FXAA and borderless window. WIndows 10 Professional 64bit, 8GB RAM and AMD Phenom x4.

When starting the game it stops for a LONG time after:-
Texture ./assets/shaders/cubemap/EngineRoom/Specmap/Outputcube.dds mips: 7

Following this I get:-
Unable to find heading: lblAspirationOptions

And then it will generally continue to load after another brief spell.

Here is the list of what I have tried.......
    Various different options of resolution/FXAA/mods on/off
    Verification of files
    Uninstall and reinstallation of the game - done this several times, occasionally it helps and the game starts quickly.
    Final step was the uninstall of Steam. Reinstall Steam. Reinstall Automation.

The final step resolved an issue I had with mods not loading. The game started very quickly and I thought it was all good.

When I next opened the game it, once again, took a long time (7 minutes) to load up. :evil:

On a positive note, when it does eventually start up, it works flawlessly! :D

Also loving the game too. :D :D

Thanks in anticipation.

Can you right click on Automation in Steam -> Properties -> Select Open Beta.

That should give me a more detailed log as to exactly when this loading freeze is happening. So if you can post the GameLog.txt made in Documents\My Games\Automation that would be great, cheers.

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.

Did what you suggested but when I ran it the game went straight in! Closed it down and restarted it several times with the same effect. Turned off -openbeta and it still went straight in. 8-)

Don't know if the openbeta setting tweaked the universe into alignment, and sorted it out, but everything seems to be OK at the moment. :lol:

I'll be spending a lot of time over the weekend so will let you know how I get on.

Keep up the good work! :)

Hi again

When I start up my computer and start the game it still takes a while to load. But once it's been used then it starts up quickly the next time, as long as my computer hasn't been rebooted.

I've attached the log from a first time start in case you can see anything. I usually check email before starting any other applications so I'm not an impatient impatient kind of guy. :)
