When did the crash occur? So far I haven't had any crashes with the current version.
Have you tried verifying the game cache in steam?

[Parrallax]

yes

[DeltaV]

Parrallax, you'd have better luck posting this on this on the official kerberos forums. I'm not sure that the devs frequent the steam forums much. Also, it looks like maybe some files are missing, can you try verifying the game cache?

[LordUther]

Playing fine for me after this tiny patch. But I only played for several minutes, just looking around the menus and the star map.

[baddicus]

My log file looks just like the one posted, this is now totally broken and is unplayable.
Note: Delete the game profile and the SOST2 picture folder, this fixed the problems I had with the new patch.

[Parrallax]

Found a solution. the reason - antivirus

[LordUther]

Glad you found the problem. My log looks the same, but continues the rest of the log and doesn't crash.

and prove to mecron that they are full of ♥♥♥♥ and they dragged thier asses so long that this paltry peice of un noted ♥♥♥♥ of a patch is nothing but a piss poor attempt to save face? yeah that one wont be up for long. Mecron aka one of the devs is a prick who does not let you nay say their company on their forums AT ALL. its a real shame too because sots2 had the potential to be something ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ground breaking and instead they got lazy, used poor management skills as an excuse to push a half finishe product and they still have not finished it entirely nor have they released the dev tools form oders since it would just be a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ SHAME if some dedicated crew came around and made a mod that essentialy does what mods usualy do: make the devs look like lazy ♥♥♥♥♥ for not implementing x thing.
I pre ordered this and was severly let down with the number of bugs and the blantant stupidity on the dev teams behalf

Check out the post here[www.kerberos-productions.com] for common fixes for the "Assertion failed: Failed to get special folder path." error.

TL;DR version - There are two common suggested solutions: Try deleting your player profile from \Users\*username*\Saved Games\*profilename*.xml and try deleting the desktop.ini from the \Users\*username*\My Pictures\ (or \Users\*username*\Pictures\) folder. A third solution is to modify the permissions of the Pictures folder to allow SotS 2 to write to it.
