[Bug] Game won't start after March 8 update (PC)

[tanelorn]

I posted this bug report in the Steam forums, but figured I'd better also do it here.

Sorry, I don't know the number of the most recent update, Steam won't tell me. It's the March 8 update.

The error is: Failed to initialize player. Could not preload global game manager #0. THis is a Gorg error report, it didn't come from Steam.

I've pasted my system specs at the bottom. But I don't think that's an issue as I've run this game fine until just now...

I must say that I became quite irate after seeing this. Not because I am immature and need my game fix, but because I just spent half a day updating (was it really necessary to have such a giant update for relatively small changes?). I live in a cabin during the schoolyear and I pay a premium to get any internet at all (cell tower based internet). You can imagine how I felt after consuming such bandwidth and waiting so long just to turn my working game into a vegetable.

I've restarted the computer just in case to no avail.

(short version; Some game file is corrupt, Verify Game Cache or if that doesn't sort it, reinstall)

Will do. I will continue this thread only in the Steam forums. Thanks.

The game is available outside Steam.
