Hello,
I played FTL a few hours ago but after I updated the program VLC the game won't start again. I deinstalled and reinstalled it from steam but without any sucess.
Also a deinstallation of VLC don't fix the problem.
My config is:
Windows 10 Pro
8 GB Ram
GeForce GTX 960M
stderr.txt:
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
what(): std::bad_alloc
stdout.txt:

Re: Game crashes after loading screen
Hi there. Does this crash happen at the end of the loading screen (where you see the bar fill up) or at some other point in time?

Re: Game crashes after loading screen
Hi. It chrashes directly at the end of the loading screen. Displayed error is:
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error
I already reinstalled all Versions of the Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime (from 2005 to 2017) but without success.

Re: Game crashes after loading screen
Since it's crashing at the end of the loading screen, this is most likely an issue of a corrupted profile.
To test it:
1. Turn off Steam Cloud Sync - If your save file is corrupt or lost, Steam cloud sync will be trying to reload the wrong copy. (From your Steam Library, right-click on FTL and select "Properties."--> Click the "Updates" tab. --> Uncheck "Enable Steam Cloud synchronization for FTL." --> Click "Close.")
2. Close Steam.
3. Move/rename your current profile. That's located in My Documents / My Games / FasterThanLight -- You're looking for prof.sav and/or ae_prof.sav
4. Without restarting Steam, run FTL directly from its installation directory like you did before. (The game is located somewhere like C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FTL Faster Than Light.)
If the game works when you do this, then the issue was a corrupted profile. Your progress, however, will be lost.
You can, however, restore your lost ships and achievements with Vhati's profile editor: viewtopic.php?t=10959

Re: Game crashes after loading screen
You were right, it was the corrupted profile file. Thanks a lot for this detailed explanation, it works fine now again.
