Game has become unplayable

Game Dev Tycoon bug
#1

Hi,

I have been playing for well over a year now and had an issue with my computer. So had to reinstall. This naturally lost me my local save folder.
Now on reinstall, it just gives uncaught error everytime I start the game. It also refuses to shut the game down when I click exit. It closes but if I try and launch again, it says its already running.

I have deleted all saves, mods, local folders and game completely and tried again. It does exactly the same thing over and over, Im about to give up on playing GDT all together.

Any help would be great.

EDIT:- Solved error problem, steam was issue, very odd. I had to do “steam://flushconfig” in my browser, then it started working ok. However I still have the shutdown issue, I keeps saying its running even when its not.

Had same problem with many games on Steam many times.
It’s Steam’s fault, don’t worry.
Still, it was reported decades ago, and Gaben still didn’t fix it

You need to close it from the task manager (if you use Windows), its process is called nw.exe I belive.
