I have played Automation many times in the past bug free, but I started it up today (day of posting) and it says “Automation Launcher has stopped working” then Windows will try to recover a bug report or whatever. I have not tried modding or editing any game files at all, but now it won’t work. Any help?
Steam or standalone?
If you are on Steam, try to verify game cache first. You could also try to launch with the no launcher option (on Steam).
I had this exact issue hen I first purchased Automation I found I had to opt out of open beta to closed reload steam then change back to open beta and reload steam again (by reload i mean go offline then go back online so steam resets itself.) Has only happened the one time but I know of at least one other user that had the issue and resetting the beta/steam seems to work good luck.
I’m on standalone.
I am on the Standalone version of the game though.
Alright, at which point exactly does the game crash, is that after you hit “Play Game”, or before you even get into the launcher? If it is the former, getting the gamelog.txt from you would be useful. You find it in Documents\My Games\Automation Standalone
I double click to open the launcher, and immediately says it has stopped working. It won’t even launch the launcher:sweat_smile:
Can you try to re-download the launcher and replace the old one with it? Nothing in the launcher has changed, so either the file got corrupted, or your system has changed or decided to block Automation in some way.
