This is an odd one - it's hard to tell if it has anything to do with the external drive being disconnected or not, so long as all the files are in the same location they shouldn't have any issues. It seems like this kind of error can happen if a file gets corrupted; maybe try deleting the folder and downloading a fresh install?
Alright, I know at least what CAUSES the game to do this : it's when I start a new game, and then click on EXIT in the game. If I try to relaunch the game after that, it just show me a black screen. I tried to delete the Sav.Dat folder in the Lazy Dog software to see if it would magically rework again with no save, but no luck either. Everything was installed on a fresh download as well. I installed everything on the C: drive and didn't try anything fancy.
It did work on first launch, and as long as I didn't start a game, the menu would show up. But after that, doesn't seem to work anymore.
The new output file is here :

PS : sorry for making you wait !
Hey, I made the second log access public, sorry about that.
that is indeed really, really weird. There's a good chance I'm just making something stupid without realizing it, but I have no idea of what it could be, I tried to run it as administrator too, but it just seems that even with a fresh install, there's resource packages missing.
I'm trying to do it on a brand new machine, I'll see if it fixes any issues I seem to have.
EDIT : right now the fresh install on a new machine (as expected) do work. It must be a hardware issue.
Thanks for the help anyway !
