This game won't load after "rebuilding assets" I just get gray screen with hexagons and a small blue box in left upper corner.
As I see it, this bug is quite old and has no specific fix.
Overall, I've tried:
Opening game with and without admin privileges;
Opening with and without clearing the \LocalLow\Fek folder;
Changing my region and format to USA;
Tried all of the above with and without that Reinvented mod installed.

Every try I was waiting with the game active for like 10 mins and of course my AV was turned off all the time.

My specs: Win 11, Ryzen 7 6800H, 16 Gb ram, RTX 3050 Ti. It surprises me that I could run the older versions of the game on my old laptop without any problems, even if it barely worked.

Honestly, I think we're approaching a point where the game is simply going to become obsolete on modern hardware. It hasn't seen an update in years and new engines and drivers are being released, so it wouldn't surprise me if the game simply becomes unplayable on certain machines soon.

Huh, so literally code being unable to be read due to higher level of tech at work. Kinda like trying to jam a floppy disk drive onto a super beefed computer with all the specs in the world running Windows 11.

You just gave me an idea to try something new like updating/reinstalling directx and vcredist for x32 and x64 and changing compatibility mode for win 8 and 7 but it didn't workout either.

I also noticed that player.log file in \LocalLow\Fek folder grown to 45+ mb and got interested like wtf is there. I deleted it, started game again and copied file when it was around 5 mb and dropped it to chatgpt to find something.
It found a bunch of errors like corrupted localization.xml file, repeated errors trying to load UnityEditor.dll, as chatgpt said "which should not be included in a built game" and others.

I'm not a game developer or smth, just got interested.

Given the fact the game was essentially abandoned in an alpha state, I would not be surprised if something fucky is happening on the dev side. But it does run for others, so unless the download here is corrupted or otherwise messed up it should work. I still have my modded copy if it comes to that.

It worked. Idk how, I didn't touched the files or anything for several days and just decided to try again. I started without R mod and after that with it. Apart from the fact that 2 of my objectives to enter that research panel are repeated over and over again I guess it works fine?
