Game crashes Immediately upon startup (Lavasoft Ad-Aware)

Support Resolved Reports
1

First off, love the game. Just bought it and played it for 4 hours straight on my tower pc. But I recently installed it on my laptop and it crashes within a few seconds of launching. I tried running it in compatibility mode for both windows 8 and 7, uninstalling and reinstalling it, and running it as administrator. So far nothing seems to work. Any help would be awesome :grinning:

PC specs
Processor Intel Core 17-4720HQ CPU @ 2.60GHz

Windows 8.1
GPU: Geforce GTX 950m

Also I cant upload attachments since iā€™m new so here is a copy paste of the stonehearth log fileā€¦ Sorry!

hey there @Seal, welcome to the discourse :smile:

thought iā€™m not much help here, iā€™ll page @Albert for you, he should be able to figure out whats causing this crash. also, have you taken a look at this thread?

I had not though its similar to the one I found on steam that lead me here. I seem to have tried everything in that thread except for turning off full screen mode. But the game already launches in windowed mode for 3 seconds before it crashes so I donā€™t think that will help. I also updated my drivers to no avail.

ā€œuser_idā€ : ā€œ06d8aae8-7c34-11e5-b44a-40e230d77d58ā€,
ā€œmodsā€ : {

ā€œenable_cpp_aiā€ : true

[/quote]yep, that works perfectly fine!

hmmā€¦ that doesnt look right, try pasting this into instead,

{
"user_id" : "06d8aae8-7c34-11e5-b44a-40e230d77d58",
"collect_analytics" : true,
"enable_auto_save" : false,
"renderer" : {
    "run_once" : true,
    "use_high_quality" : false,
    "enable_ssao" : false,
    "enable_shadows" : false,
    "shadow_resolution" : 256,
    "msaa_samples" : 0,
    "shadow_quality" : 1,
    "max_lights" : 30,
    "enable_vsync" : false,
    "enable_fullscreen" : false,
    "screen_width" : 1920,
    "screen_height" : 1018,
    "draw_distance" : 1000
},
"audio" : {
    "bgm_volume" : 0.6,
    "efx_volume" : 0.6
},
"enable_lua_jit" : false,
"force_32_bit" : true,
"language" : "en"
}

its not a guaranteed fix, but it has worked in the past.

@seal - The crash report says that Lavasoft Ad-Aware is causing stonehearth to crash in 64-bit mode. If you intend to build larger towns, you will need to disable / uninstall Lavasoft so that you can run stonehearth in 64-bit.
