Afterbirth was working for me, until I decided to use a Rebirth Custom Challenge Launcher for Afterbirth. Now even after I uninstalled the Custom Challenge Launcher, Afterbirth won't launch. It says "Isaac-ng.exe has stopped working" or something around those lines.

Same, I really want to play it. I didn't spend £8 on nothing.

I have no idea how to uninstall Rebirth. (I can uninstall Afterbirth, don't know how to uninstall and reinstall Rebirth) However, I did find out that, when I uninstalled Afterbirth, Rebirth still works, it's just that when Afterbirth is there for some reason it doesn't work.

Here try this:
1. Right-Click TBOI:R0, Properties
2. Delete Local Game Content in 'Local Files'
3. Reinstall TBOI:R with the dlc, verify the game cache
4. If it doesn't work, go to the file in C:>Steam>steamapps>common>The Binding of Isaac Rebirth
5. Delete resources
6. Verify the game cache again- it will re-download the resources part
7. Launch up the game, it will ask if you want to import your old data - Yes or No, which ever you choose.

I'm sorry if this doesn't work, it is a bit of a rough guide as I can't really recall how I did it.

Bonus: When is it imported, there seems to be a glitch where you might have a Real Platinum God save- this is a bug.

Granitedragon, I owe you hundreds of hours of my life. step 4. and up worked for me, but my files from Rebirth and the new one I made for Afterbirth were already there and I didnt need to reimport. THANK YOU!
