Playing EDCE game on steam.. got words... EXIT FATAL ERROR #PLAYER 5, and something about finding LATEST LOG IN AREA WHERE DATA FILES ARE STORED.. where does steam save this on my computer??

Hi Ron,

The "game data directory"  is where is where info is stored, you can find the location for this off the Directories button in the Administration page.

If player #5 is blowing up, it is most likely repeatable. (meaning if you load the game again it explodes in the same way). It would be great if you could make an archive of the game and sent it to me. To make an archive, you go to the Load Game screen off of the main menu, and for the entry in questions you should see an "A" button. That will make an archive which you can find in the "game Data Directory"/archives. Zip that and send it to me and I will see what the issue is. Usually I can get the game back going.

The logs may be useful, you can find those in the "Game Data Directory"/logs directory. If you zip the whole log dir I can sort it out.

When it comes to Computer Technology, I know enough information to never cover a FullStop/Period. For the past three hours I have been pulling what short hair out to find this C:/users/Ron/AppData ............................ Where the hell is AppData... cant see it. (PS I do wear Glasses hehe)

Anyway did a complete search of my 3 hard drives and found a Steam/ file with stuff in it dated today - as today is whan I had Player#5 crash on me.. for some reason the game did reload after I closed the game down and P#3 did a toes up and crashed too. I know how much these files are important to you so did a humongous search and hopefully found what you needed. I could not tell what spacific file needed so zipped all files dated this dat 05/12/2017 (or as you USA folks put it 12/05/2017 - We like day/month/year .. where as USA puts the day After the month ... strange??)

ANY way sending all to you attached to an email Titled "Problems From Australia"

Going to send you mail offline.
