Game crashed and uninstalled completely by itself.
Unfortunately, this game has an issue with creating a game and using a custom galaxy. I tried using a 4 planet galaxy I created and the game froze then crashed and reset my computer. After I tried to play it again and it had uninstalled. Anyone ever have this happen?

This is impossible, the game CANNOT do this, please retry launching it, then right clicki it in your steam library and "delete all local content", then reinstall

That is not true. The game most certainly can cause your computer to restart due to bugs found in the game. I've had issues with it crashing numerous times, have only been able to get 10 minutes into a game. I'm waiting for a ton more updates before I try launching it again myself. As far as your computer crashing, though the game most certainly can be the cause of it, it's highly unlikely. If you can run speedfan to check and make sure nothing is overheating while launching the game, you can try and narrow down the possibilities. If nothing is overheating, you have no issues with other games. Double check your video drivers, and check your processor/memory usage while launching the game as well. If it's maxing out, it can cause you computer to restart. In that case you may want to post your computer specs.

As soon as my pc rebooted, I went to steam to play again and all its files were gone, my first thought was to delete all local content and reinstall but there was nothing. I'm not quite sure what happened but it happened. I just finished reinstalling it and haven't ran it yet but I will. I'm not sure if it was my pc or the program but my pc not only can handle the game, it also has plenty of memory and such to run it smoothly :/ I just thought it was odd and decided to report it

I think your system crashed entirely and rebooted with the latest backup file available (so basically Windows did set your computer back to the point when the last backup was made).

I FIGURED IT OUT.
`
step 1. go into steam and right click SAID game and uninstall.
step 2. go to my computer and figure what drive/folder your game is installed in.
step 3. go back to steam , reinstall using SAID folder the game is said to be in.
step 4. the game should start discovering existing files. your welcome!!!!:steamsad:
