Error when trying to launch game on steam (user_settings + mods)

SH%20error Error as shown here. Tried reinstalling, verifying game cache, and giving all permissions to the folder in properties just in case. Also ran game as admin. Another thing worth noting, I had stonehearth installed yesterday and many days before that. But then, when I went on today it said it was uninstalled, checked and files were 100% still there. Since it said something with the user_settingsjson, I tried deleting it and then verifying again to remake the file. The game did launch, however upon reloading my save it stops loading around quarter way. I’d paste the log file but I’m not allowed to put attachments? And when I paste it in it says I can only have two links.

Hey @imnapr5, you should be able to attach files now.

Deleting the user_settings.json file is the way to fix this popup.

The issue where it says the game was uninstalled is likely a Steam issue, I’ve seen that reported for other games too.

Now I get this error when trying to load my save Sh%20error%202

Can you upload your savefile so that devs can take a look at it?

  1. Find the save folder for the saves you wish to upload. By default, they are located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stonehearth\saved_games (assuming a default Steam install).
  2. Zip the folder.
  3. Right click the folder (should be a long set of numbers).
  4. Left click on Send to in the menu that appears.
  5. Left click on `Compressed (Zipped) folder).
  6. (Optional) Rename the folder to something different than the default set of numbers.
  7. Upload the save.
  8. If the zip is less than 10 MB, you can upload it directly. Either use the upload button or drag and drop it into the compose window,
  9. If larger than 10 MB, upload it to a cloud storage site like Dropbox, Google Drive, File Dropper, etc. and post the sharing link here.

Did you have any mods when you were playing before reinstalling?

Alright, I think I’ve got it settled. I forgot to reinstall my mods because I’m dumb and so THAT’S why I wouldn’t load in. Everything is good now.
