Title: Outpost 2 Game Launch Problem
Post by: lordpalandus on April 10, 2019, 12:33:50 AM
Hi...

Not sure what I did to get the game to here, but I have a weird issue. Every time I launch the game now (I had been launching the game fine for over a week now, and the game worked fine yesterday and didn't crash at all), I get to some kind of debug main menu. None of the buttons work and thus to exit the game I have to kill the process in task manager. I've tried:

1. Removing all lose .txt files. I have modded sheets files, and put them in a backup folder away from the game folder. No change.
2. I reinstalled the entire game, by extracting the .zip file to a new folder. No change.
3. I deleted my outpost2.ini file. No change.
4. I moved my save files out of the folder. No change.

Below is a screenshot of what I'm seeing.

As you can see it is a debug menu of some sort and even the placement of the menu/buttons is in the wrong place and using placeholder images. The only thing I can think of is that on some sites I cannot use right mouse button to open a new tab... but I can open a new tab if I right click my favorites bar. Only mentioning it as the issue may be related, remotely.

Curious, are your changes having local effects? Are you launching the game with a shortcut? If so, what is the target path? Both of the executable, and the working directory.

Well I tried loading just the base game, in a separate folder, with a brand new outpost2.ini and the problem persists.

Not using a shortcut of any kind. Just launching the game from the Outpost2.exe executable binary.

Best guess is if I restart the machine, it will work again. Not sure why it will, but that is likely what will solve it.

Yep, a restart of my machine fixed the issue.
