Game doesn't start anymore... - CasT - 09-12-2013
So, I preordered AAMFP and I instantly played it when it was released.
At first it played perfectly, no lags, no crashes, nothing.
But, when I wanted to play again the next day, it didn't work anymore...
I solved it by looking at different threads on this forum (by replacing the msvcp100.dll file, the xinpit1_3.dll file, and the msvcr100.dll file).
It worked again (yesterday), it again played perfectly.
And again, I wanted to play again today, but it says again that AAMFP doesn't work anymore.
I looked in the steamapps folder and then amnesia, those three files were gone???
When I start the game from that folder it says that one of those three files are missing, so I replaced that one back.
Then it said that it needs to be reinstalled or something and that files are missing...
So I'm rewally confused, and I really want to play the game again.
Hope for a solution soon.

Do a chech cache integrity on the game in steam. right-click, properties, last tab and there is the option. Then try to run the game. If it fails, remove the main_settings.cfg, first_start_flag from My Documents/Amnesia/Pig/ and try again. If that fails please post the hpl.log file and/or what the error message is when it fails.

I tried both things, it didn't work.
Here's my hpl.log

If you have a clean install of the game, where you have not added any missing files. What file is it exactly that is says you need?
RE: Game doesn't start anymore... - CasT - 09-12-2013
It says that it needs the msvcr100.dll file, but when I restart the game with that file where it's supposed to be, it says that it doesn't work and that it needs a reinstall.

Have you tried installing it using these:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5555 (for 32bit OS)
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=14632 (for 64bit OS)

When I want to download that (32-bit), it says:
Please resolve the following:
A newer version of Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable has been detected on the machine.

There was a service pack released I see, can you try this? It sounds like you already have this installed, but just to make sure in case it has become corrupted or similar.
