My game keeps crashing. HELP!

Game Dev Tycoon bug
#1

Continuing the discussion from My game keeps crashing:

#2

Close every other program
’Delete Local Files’ on Steam
Go to the GDT folder in Steam/steamapps/common/
If it still says ‘GameDevTycoon’ or such, delete the folder and everything inside it
When done, reinstall the game
Verify Game Files
and you should be good to go

#3

Nope, still crashed.

#4

delete your saves, do it again and block if it asks you stuff about steamcloud

#5

Would someone please tag the greenheart support in my discussion? i’m failing miserably at finding their address/tag/ whatever the hell it is i use to get a hold of them.

#6

i honestly have no idea how to delete them, i feel like such a rookie right now. Ive been gaming for the last 14 years and have never had this much of a problem on deleting my save game.

#7

any screenshot of your folder/game/crash would certainly help

@Charlie @EvoGamer ?
(i dunno who else to @ to this conversation)

Hey @Fracture

You can contact us on support@greenheartgames.com.
The Windows based message ‘Game Dev Tycoon has stopped working’ is usually a sign of a localised problem.
I would suggest that you try the following diagnostic measures at your own risk;

  • Reinstall Game Dev Tycoon

  • Also you can try;
    A) Creating an exception in your antivirus for game dev tycoon and the steam folder if applicable.
    B) Disable any other running programs and processes to check if anything is interfering or stopping the game from running.
    C) Delete you saves. Which on Windows 8 and under are located;

C:/Users/YOURUSER/Appdata/Local/Game Dev Tycoon/Local Storage/
(Where YOURUSER is your Windows user name)

To View the App Data folder please allow viewing of Hidden Files and Folders;
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows7/show-hidden-files

Also you can look in the Windows Event view for more information into the crash.

If the issue persists please let us know;

Which OS you are using?
e.g. Mac 10.7.5 // Win 7 Sp1

Which Version of Game Dev Tycoon you are running?
e.g. 1.3.9.

Which Edition are you using? Steam, Windows Store or Standard?

Have you used any mods or Save game editors?
If so, which ones?

Many thanks for your patience!

I’m running windows vista (not by my choice), Steam, No mods, and i’m assuming the most recent version? steam is pretty good at keeping games up to date, nor am i using any save game editors.
