Microsoft Net Framework error

[PurpleMonty_]

Hey guys, I am currently trying to run AC but I keep getting this error before the launcher pops up and after when I hit "PLAY". but the game never boots, and instead shows the error message again. Please help a fellow out (this is a completely clean install (no mods)

Error Message:

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Access denied. That sounds like a run as administrator issue. Compatibility maybe needs to be set to windows 8?

dude having the same exact problem except its for city. Have tried everything. im guessing if we find a fix it should work for both games.

[Alshain]

It's trying to read that file from your OneDrive folder. There is something really odd about that. I'm not exactly sure what would cause it to look there, but it shouldn't be.

[Onimusha27]

I have the same problem, has anyone found a solution?

[tfk]

Ok, I'm a Linux user and only work with Windows for my work. But I do have a theory. As stated by Alshain, it tries to access the Documents folder via your one drive installation. The theory is that this is done automatically by Windows when you have a connected account. It then integrates this live account across all services.

When this game came out, this feature didn't exist yet. One logged in on the machine using a local account.

This one drive location is probably extra protected which results in the above message.

My next step would be to log in with a local user account which is not connected to any cloud service and see if the game reads from the intended path (C:\Users\[username]\Documents\...). Without the OneDrive part. For this I believe you need the professional version of Windows.

This is a bit of a shot in the dark I'm afraid...

edit: one other thing that popped into mind: maybe its possible to run the game in compatibility mode? Windows 7 or something? Maybe it reverts back to the intended folder location?

I'm having this same issue for Asylum and City but Knight works just fine. I bought a steam key for the first two and I'm wondering if that has anything to do with it.

That would make some sense. I use Windows 11 pro and I do not have it connected to a Microsoft "SpyOnMe" account and never had an issue playing it.

Another user posted another error but it may be useful here too.

Do a full DirectX install. It's supposed to happen automatically, but it's obviously borked. The files are even already on your computer, in the directory where you downloaded the game. Right click on the game in your Steam app. Hit Manage>Browse Local Files. Then go to the folder /redist/DirectX and double click on DXSETUP. Run the DirectX setup, let it finish and then try running the game again. The error should be gone.
