HELP! so, I accidentally closed out core, then my screen lost all the buttons. Realizing that this was a mistake I Exited out, and stated it up again. This time, The screen wouldn't move from being black. I've tried to re-download and try again 3 different times, but it is still black. I don't know what do do and id love to play again. (I've been starved of Rimworld for a couple of days now D: )

Look at the first post in this thread. Step 5. Just delete config, your saves are ok.

I play on windows, and also i couldnt find the cache in my documents

What I meant was, My AppData is Hidden, and I have not a clue so as to find it. :/. Is there any other way to delete my save files? or Redownload it and not have the bad save files?

To be a bit flippant

Or just type "AppData" in the address bar.

I am on Win7 and did the whole delete config files thing. Didn't fix the black screen.

Delete your RimWorld install and reinstall it clean.

Just spend my last download try (for some reason download link didn't refresh with alpha8 release) and finally got alpha8.

Game runs nicely, new colonies creates perfect, but old saves load just black screen. Checked this thread, deleted all RimWorld old files, delete all config files. But same thing - my previos alpa version saves load only black screen, music and coursor.

It's not a tragedy, but i was dreaming to finish my spaceship and continue my story from forest to frosty tundra.

Old saves (and worlds) are almost never going to work for a new alpha, for future reference. If you have a game you particularly want to finish, you should do so before you download the new alpha.

Alpha game is alpha, as Stuff+ says.
