Game crashes every time upon launch
I had som problems with my C drive about a week ago, but managed to fix it by reinstalling windows and making up spce by deleting a bunch of programs and files. Ever since me reinstalling windows Polytopia keeps crashing every time I try to launch the game. When I try to launch the game it runs to the point where the Midjiwan logo appears and then it just closes the window and the game stops running. Other games have all worked as normal, including both games on steam and games on other clients.

My knowledge in this area is limited but I've tried searching on google but not found anything that works for me. I've also used chatgpt. I entered a log file and chatgpt said the crash appears to be due to an ArgumentException: The specified path is not of a legal form (empty) error. I tried the suggested steps to resolve but nothing worked. I also entered a application error from the windows event viewer. Chatgpt thinks the game crashes because of issues with the UnityPlayer.dll file. I tried the suggested solutions but those didn't work either.

I've tried a bunch of potential fixes with no succes:
*Running the game as an administrator
*Restarting the computer
*Verifying game files
*Reinstalling the game
*Updating graphics drivers
*Uninstalling all visual C++ runtime libraries and then installing the latest for my systems architecture

My computer is quite old and far from the best, but it should still be able to run Polytopia without any issues.
Computer specs:
*Windows 10 64-bit
*Intel core i5-4670
*10 GB of RAM
*NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680
*The game is installed on Disk D which has 270 GB of space free. DIsk C has over 40 GB of space free.

Is anyone else having this problem?
Would appreciate all the help I can get.

Hey, we're glad that you've let us know! We'll be chatting with the developers to see what we can do about it.

Can you send the entire log file to zoythrus@midjiwan.com? I'd like to forward it to the devs.

Hi, thanks for your response! I've drafted a mail to you with the log file, but I'm wondering if you also think I should send a file called lib_burst_generated? It's located in a map called Polytopia_BurstDebugInformation_DoNotShip.
