Afterbirth Plus doesn´t work, Rebirth and Afterbirth worked fine

[derdusa]

Hey guys, I recently bought and downloaded Afterbirth+ only to realise the game isn´t working anymore with AB+ installed. Whenever i launch the game it says "isaac-ng.exe crashed". I would be thankful for anyone trying to help me fix my game or maybe just other people experiencing the same issue to tell me.
NOTE: I uninstalled all the mods, re-installed Isaac numerous times, repaired the local data, deleted the resources folder and repaired it again, moved the folder to the desktop and back, updated my graphics driver, etc. Using Windows Vista. (Pls dont kill me xD)
Thank you in Advance for any help you can give me...

Exactly the same here. If I uninstall Afterbirth +, the game runs fine.

First, go to C:\Users\WHATEVERYOU'RECALLED\Documents\My Games\Binding of Isaac Afterbirth+

Now open options.ini

EnableMods=0

save and fire the game up.

Still ♥♥♥♥♥♥?

Well, in the same folder, remove your saves. Stick them in a rar or a temp folder or whatever.
Now go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\133413802\250900\remote

Remove ALL the files in the same manner you did above.

Fire the game up.

Still ♥♥♥♥♥♥? There's a chance the save is now in the cloud, being redownloaded in all its mod corrupted glory. Find a tutorial for uploading blank saves to the cloud, then use previous versions (right click in the saves folder > properties > previous versions > click a folder from before you went mod happy)

Still ♥♥♥♥♥♥?

There's a chance it's C++. Install the 32bit redist installer in the redist folder of Isaac's local directory (navigate through steam > local files)

Still ♥♥♥♥♥♥?

I'd need a dmp. It *should* be generated on a crash and stored in the same location your saves are.

Note: Should the remote file be in a different location, it will always be in 250900, since that's BoI 's app id, so just scan the Steam folder for it.

Hi Toastie Buns, The AF+ folder doesn´t exist in my computer (Documents\My Games\Binding of Isaac Afterbirth+), so I can´t delete anything. Is there a chance that the dump file doesn´t exist? The game just doesn´t start. No freeze, no error message.

[Toastie Buns]

If the folder doesn't exist, then I guess when you uninstalled it removed it? Unlikely, but whatever.

Those are all the suggestions I have, short of using system restore to return to a time when your game actually worked.

[Sensei]

I know that it seems like AF+ is uninstalled, but it´s checked in the DLC list. AF+ NEVER worked, so I can´t use system restore. If I uninstall AF+, Afterbirth runs normally. I don´t want a refund, I wanna just play! Sorry for my english and thanks for the suggestions.

[Toastie Buns]

Well sheeeeeeeet.

Only other extremely random, completely unlikely to work suggestion I have is to install the entire game to a different disk or USB flash drive or....anything.

[Sensei]

I´ll uninstall the game and ALL the files manually and reinstall it again. One last question: what about my save files from Steam? Should I delete them? Can I?

[Toastie Buns]

From the Steam cloud? Yep.

Probably isn't wise if you have literally no backup data. Then again, if you're happy importing rebirth saves, you're safe.

Thanks Toastie Buns! I´ll try it out :D

[Sensei]

Still nothing, I never could play AF+

[derdusa]

Tried everything. No AB+ Folder with me as well...
