Thanks so much for the more schematize explanation. It works better, still not always loading the UI. I think the ACE, is the thing that stops it. I might not have the correct memory for it, but when I uninstall the ACE mod it loads and then I have to re install the ace mod and for some reason it works. I'll live with it for now. Thanks again

PS: 8: If your getting a blackscreen and music, Just hit F5 to reload UI (its a UI issue) if not working make sure your with in the screen.

PSS: 9: when you get game going once you start game keep it at base, DO not USE the 3 speed option.

PSSS: 10: you can thread the game open Task Manager - Details - find Stonehearth in list - Right click - Set priority High (no more then that)

1: Go to https://indy.fulgan.com/SSL/Archive/?C=N;O=D

2: 15th down of openssl's or {18th if you count the folders} Download this file https://indy.fulgan.com/SSL/Archive/openssl-1.0.2i-x64_86-win64.zip
(Name of file: openssl-1.0.2i-x64_86-win64.zip)

3: Once Downloaded, open with a zip extractor. (like winzip or 7z) from you Dowload folder, just open **right click the downloaded file and select more options select the extractor of your choice winzip or 7z**

4: Take the files inside the download folder (libeay73.dll and ssleeay32.dll these 2 only you don't need the others) and move them to your desktop only

5: now open the folder to the Stoneheath x64 file folder only (this: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stonehearth\x64) -not just main folder

6: Now take the files (libeay73.dll and ssleeay32.dll) that you just placed on your desktop and move them into that folder only (not the main folder)

7: Close the folder and now run the game from steam

Here what I want you to do.

1: Uninstall Stonehearth on Steam.
2: Reinstall Stonehearth on Steam (Now a fresh install)

Now follow this per step

DO NOT DELETE anything in the folder
Do not set anything to be compatible

If you have any mods remove them but ACE (you can keep that)
Not a lot of mods are kept up, so make sure they are updated
