The trouble with that is i did all that when alpha 20 dropped and everything was working fine the day before on alpha 20.3 but as soon as alpha 20.4 dropped i can no longer access my video settings the game still plays fine my issue is that it just seems like the video settings have been altered/changed and i'm trying to find out if they have but i cannot access those settings it just freezes the game. Tried that just now just to satisfy your curiosity and all that did was lose me a heap of maps that can not be recreated and several hundreds of hours of game play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiteshark68 Posted April 27, 2022 Author Share Posted April 27, 2022 You may now delete this topic as i fixed the error my self by doing a full uninstall and reinstall which stopped all the issues including the mod loading errors during loading of the game I'm guessing that somehow the game was corrupted during the update and steam didn't find that when validating.

Checking the "Game Settings" box in the Clean Game Data screen does not delete maps or saved games. Perhaps you checked the wrong boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiteshark68 Posted April 28, 2022 Author Share Posted April 28, 2022 wouldn't have mattered because as i said to fix the issue i had to uninstall the game and delete everything anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why it's required to use the launcher and the clean option to fix some things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you not read i said i had to delete everything which means i had to go into the appdata folder and into the steam folder and manually delete everything. when i say delete everything i mean delete everything i never go and do a halfassed job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
