Failed to Load Config File - Karkarov - 09-17-2010
This morning I was playing amnesia and suffered a pc crash. When I restarted my pc (windows 7 64 bit) it wanted to run the widows repair tool. I let it go ahead. After it ran everything seemed fine. When I tried to play amnesia again the launcher did literally nothing. It would act like it was going to load then just stop and that's it. I tried running the exe directly, and it says "Failed to Load config file" immediately then closes.
The game was running fine until today. I am even in the process of doing a series of video's on the game so you can see on youtube plain as day this is not a graphics problem or a driver issue. I tried uninstalling the game, restarting, and reinstalling. No change. I tried running the apps as admin, no change. I re downloaded the installer from direct to drive, uninstalled, restarted, reinstalled again from new download. No change.
Any advice on what I can do to fix this?

Try launching Amnesia.exe directly from the install directory.

I tried that but it was no go. I did get the issue fixed though. In the end I got desperate and did a full system restore to my last windows update and that fixed it.

I recall I had to do a full on system restore to an earlier point and it resolved the issue. Still don't know what caused it in the first place.
