Hey guys, Planewalker here.

Does it specify which file? Exactly what does it say?

[Atlas]

It's literally what it all says.

Try the following:

1) Verify your Stronghold Legends files

Login to the Steam client
Within Library, right-click on Stronghold Legends and select Properties
Select the Local Files tab and click the Verify Integrity of Game Cache button.
Steam will check all the game files were downloaded correctly. This process may take several minutes. If any files are missing Steam will download them the next time you run the game.

2) If you can't load the launcher, try loading the game directly

Before loading the game the Firefly Launcher should appear. If the launcher is not appearing then you can load Stronghold Legends directly by browsing to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steamapps\common\Stronghold Legends and running StrongholdLegends.exe

In particular, try running in administrator mode.

3) Delete your Stronghold Legends "packfile.fpf" file

Locate your C:\ProgramData\Firefly Studios\Stronghold Legends folder and delete packfile.fpf. (The folder and file will be Hidden, so you will have to make Windows Explorer show hidden files & folders. This will force Stronghold Legends to rebuild the game files during the initial game load. It will slow down load time for a while, but it may fix the problem.
