Title: Black screen on startup please help!
Post by: kronicmeerkat on July 04, 2015, 10:29:00 AM
So I downloaded some mods from  the rorum and the activated them, and poof! my game crashed, so I removed them from the mod file and while doing so removed the core file as well. now i have put the core file back in but stupid rimworld wont activate the core stuff by default and for reasons unknow now if I redownload rimworld it does it there too! is there a way to reset the rimworld files ? without opening up rimworld itself?

Go in to (assuming you know how) %appdata% and find local low then ludeon studios I believe. open rim world then find the config folder, delete the modsconfig.xml and you should be right as rain. If you still need help ill try to help further

If you're on windows you go to the start menu and type it there... I've encountered the same problem and it works.

Here if you all are confused by what i said. This is for windows 8 btw if you need windows 7 then just delete the 8 and replace it with a 7 in the hyper link
