Crash at start up?

[Abi2sweet]

Hi! I love this game but the other day my pc turned off due to a power outage mid game. Now every time I launch it crashes on validating server or the other black screen loading messages. I cant even get into the main menu. Ive tried re installing the game but no dice. As well as running as admin. Any Ideas? Ive added my crash report at the bottom.

I don't know what's wrong, but note that for a clean reinstall, there are two folders that hold game data. Not just one.

One is the game's installation path, which you probably deleted in order to reinstall.

The other is %appdata%\vintagestorydata, where the game stores all the things that are unique to you as a player. In other words, your savegames, your personal modset (if any), and your configs and settings.

I think the authentication session is referenced somewhere in clientsettings.json. If it crashes during authentication, it's worth a try to delete that file (as well as the .bkp file of the same name). It will get recreated automatically the next time you start the client.

It was a nvidia driver of course! I should have thought of that. Problem solved!
