Hi every time I try to play Automation something captioned 'The Goggles, they do nothin`!'
Can someone please help

Just a pro-tip, starting a post with an all caps title with multiple exclamation points is usually frowned upon.

As for you problem, steam or standalone?

Also, when exactly does it crash? Does the splash screen and loading screen appear or does it crash before that?

---------------------------
The Goggles, they do nothin'!
---------------------------
Fatal error while loading init.lua: [string "--client\start scripts\init.lua..."]:199: attempt to index global 'DisplaySettings' (a nil value)

---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

---------------------------
The Goggles, they do nothin'!
---------------------------
Fatal error while loading main.lua: [string "--client\start scripts\main.lua..."]:14: attempt to index a nil value

---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

This is what Im currently getting after the 150202 build (standalone). I've done the removal process and tried reinstalling to the same issue.

@ricko:
That very much looks like there is a problem with files being misplaced.
Can you check if you have a folder in "Documents" that is \My Games\Automation_StandAlone and which contains the DisplaySettings.lua file?
If not, that's where the problem lies. You can then make a search for DisplaySettings.lua and make the folder manually, put it in there and see if that helps.

I did have the folder, however my DisplaySettings file is an XML file, not LUA and there is no instance of that file on my entire computer. When I tried doing a clean install after renaming the Automation_StandAlone folder, this folder did not recreate yet my login credentials were still saved.

It's a bit hack and slash, bit what happens if you just rename it to a .lua?

I tried that and still crashes on start up is there anything else I could do?


(p.s sorry about that I'm just really annoyed and wanted help, but thank you for your advice and I will keep it in mind next time.

Is "The goggles, they do nothing" a DuffMan Reference?

Same thing, unfortunately.

Didn't somebody else post the same or very similar error about a month ago?
