Could not load main config file: config/ default__main_settings.cfg - ChoiBoy0527 - 04-08-2013
I got Amnesia: Dark Descent and it worked for a couple of hours. After about three days, I opened up the app and this popped up:
Error loading configuration file!
Could not load main config file: config /
default__main_settings.cfg
I have a mac and it is not from steam.
PLEASE HELP

I cannot find Frictional Games in Application support.

have you moved any files around? Also try running the application itself not the shortcut to it.

This is the exact same issue on Mavericks for me. I purchased the game through Steam and did a fresh install of Mavericks.

I just upgraded to Mavericks as well. I was having the same issue. I download the patch updates from here and installed it:

It now works. Hopefully this helps you as well!
If Mavericks won't let you open it because it is from an unknown publisher, follow these instructions to get around that problem:

Hello, I'm having a similar problem. I have a 64-bit MacBook Pro OS X laptop (ver 10.6.8), with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor. (Game was downloaded from Steam.)
I was playing a CS when a message popped up saying my start-up disk was almost full, so I saved, quit, made some space on my laptop, and restarted. When I tried to play Amnesia TDD again, it came up with the following message: "Could not load main config file: congif/default_main_settings.cfg."
Things I've already tried:
~ My software is updated.
~ I have automatic updates for all my games, so not being up to date isn't the issue.
~ I uninstalled and re-installed the game.
~ I've tried renaming the SteamApps folder to SteamApps_old (there's already one there actually so I had to name it "Steam Apps_old_2"), but then a message pops up saying it can't start b/c "missing executable".
~ I've tried deleting the main_settings.cfg from the Amnesia>Main folder (it said it had 0 bytes), and the game starts up alright, but when I try to play a CS it looks like this: Screencap1 Screencap2
~ Renaming the Frictional Games folder to "Friction Games_old" actually works just fine, but it deletes all the progress I made in my game and the CS's. I'm wondering if there's a better solution than that?
My main problem is trying to keep all the saved progress I have in my custom stories from being wiped out. Any suggestions?
