NateAndJake,

Thank you for these.

Did you happen to check to see if you have Windows Controlled Folder Access on, and if so, try to run the game when it is off?  Here is how you can see if it is:

Also, because you created a thread here, I was able to use your credentials to look up your submitted crash logs.  They will get passed to the devs as a results.

Thanks for your help figuring this out and your patience.

Any Updates here? Game still crashes when i try starting it.

The 1.04 patch should fix this. The problem was that your game had crashed while writing out your player progress. We fixed the crash but your player progress was still corrupt (which was cuasing a crash on load when it tried to read it). The 1.04 update identifies and resolves the issue if it finds corrupt files.
