When uninstalling the game go to the folder FTL was installed in and delete any files that may still be there.

That error usually appears when the game's database has been corrupted. Mostly this happens when the game is updated to a more recent version but somehow older files get reintroduced into the database. Some mods can cause this problem.

In your FTL folder there is another folder called crashlogs, check if there's any info there, and post it.

Thanks for trying at least. I have two more questions:

Are you playing the Steam version? If so, try using the synchronise cache option, it helps with corruption errors. Not guaranteed to make a difference though.
Did you recently update video or other drivers? There were cases where FTL would no longer work with new hardware or drivers.

Yeah something weird is going on. Other people have had a similar problem reported in this thread. Same story, FTL worked, all was well, now it crashes.

Could this be caused by a Windows update? :?
