The game doesn't even work anymore, at least for me

Update drivers and Windows and reboot

1. For Nvidia Users:
   You can update drivers via Geforce Experience or their driver page.
2. For AMD Users:
   You can check for updates using the AMD Radeon Settings or by navigating to their driver page.
3. After updating drivers, search for "Windows Update" in the Start menu and install any available updates.
4. Once updates are installed, restart your computer.

What is Teardown being installed on? Do you have any other drives you can use?

[drifting bloom]

On my disk, and also i'm not sure if i have any other drives

[grim moat]

1. How much space do you have left on your drive?
2. How old is your computer? No exact date is needed.
3. Have any other weird issues started to occur outside of Teardown, e.g. Windows crash or other random errors?
4. Try running Steam as Administrator by right-clicking the Steam shortcut.

[drifting bloom]

1. 86GB. 2. I don't remember but at least few years. 3. Once i had a blue screen but that happened like a year ago and from that time nothing weird happened. 4. I'l try it

[lofty thunder]

Is running steam as admin actually a good thing?.. i thought it would just mess up your file rights in the long run 🤷‍♂️

try clearing download cache and verify game files..

steam > settings > download > clear cache

[steep pendant]

Verify Steam Files

1. Open the Steam client.
2. Navigate to your Library.
3. Right-click on Teardown and select "Properties".
4. Click on the "Local Files" tab.
5. Click "Verify Integrity of Game Files".

[drifting bloom]

It says "All 0 files successfully validated"

[lofty thunder]

so you did:

• check disk space
• update drivers
• clear cache
• verify files
  right?

[drifting bloom]

Yes

[lofty thunder]

hm.. maybe delete the game and workshop files and try again?.. can't provide the paths as i'm on mobile

[drifting bloom]

Delete or uninstall?

[lofty thunder]

just delete would be enough.. steam should redowload it..

you could also backup and remove the local files and the teardown folder in documents.. if you want to start all clean

[steep pendant]

Find Appdata local files

1. Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog. Or open file explorer and select the top search bar.
2. Type %localappdata% and press Enter.
3. Navigate to the "Teardown" folder.

[drifting bloom]

So i have to delete the whole folder?

[lofty thunder]

there are 4 locations with files .. 2 of them are savegame and your own mods

2 are steam controlled

[drifting bloom]

I uninstalled any mods that i had

[lofty thunder]

you mean.. unsubbed?

maybe someone else can give you the exact locations

[drifting bloom]

Yeah, and i just remembered unsubbing doesn't uninstall them (They are still in the folder)

[lofty thunder]

its 117444 or something like that

[drifting bloom]

Also these are the folders that are in the Teardown folder

[lofty thunder]

in the steam area you can just delete .. steam will redownload

in documents and app local is your own stuff, settings and savegames

again.. on mobile cant give exact locations

[drifting bloom]

So i'll wait until you can because i can't find those

[lofty thunder]

app local files are here..

[steep pendant]

Find Appdata local files

1. Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog. Or open file explorer and select the top search bar.
2. Type %localappdata% and press Enter.
3. Navigate to the "Teardown" folder.

[lofty thunder]

and there should be a teardown folder in "my documents"

those 2 folders should be backed up before you delete them

[drifting bloom]

In the "Teardown" folder (in my documents) there was nothing but the "mods folder and it was empty

[lofty thunder]

then you can delete the whole folder and let teardown recreate it

[drifting bloom]

So i deleted the folder, what now?

[lofty thunder]

what about the applocal one?

[drifting bloom]

I deleted it, i think

[lofty thunder]

did you make a backup? .. that one has your savegame

aka progress

[drifting bloom]

Nah, but i don't really care about my progress in the game, i can do it all over again

[lofty thunder]

so its not in applocal folder anymore?

[drifting bloom]

no, i think

[lofty thunder]

well.. check?

[steep pendant]

Find Appdata local files

1. Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog. Or open file explorer and select the top search bar.
2. Type %localappdata% and press Enter.
3. Navigate to the "Teardown" folder.

[drifting bloom]

Nope i don't see one

[lofty thunder]

well see what happens.. it should be recreated on install

[drifting bloom]

Ok, so i'm going to install it now

[lofty thunder]

did you delete the workshopfiles of teardown and the teardown game files?

[drifting bloom]

yes

[lofty thunder]

ok.. try reinstalling..and look if folders get recreated in those 4 locations

[drifting bloom]

nothing changed,

[lofty thunder]

huh?.. (original message deleted)?

enlighten us

[mild verge]

I see this for so many posts. No clue if it's a Discord bug or what
