DSL 2.2 Startup Freeze & Crash (SOLVED)
« on: August 28, 2016, 06:04:05 AM »
So basically the problem is that our electricity was cut down yesterday while I was playing Robot Arena 2 DSL 2.2, and today the game refuses to start up.

I play on windowed mode, resolution being 1024x768. Whenever I start the game, it just freezes and ends up crashing, it doesn't even bring me to the Main Menu.

Should I just install a new version of DSL 2.2 or is there a way to make the game start fullscreen without opening the game?

I presume you restarted your PC?
Better than GK since 2009.

try changing FullScreen=1 or your resolution size in the RA2.cfg file

No? This is the first boot of the day.

Tried both, Neither worked.

I have found the solution.

I deleted the old Teams folder and replaced it with a new fresh copy of the Teams folder.

You see, If I remember correctly, the electricity was cut down right at the moment when I was opening a robot in the Team HQ.

The Teams.txt is a file that loves to be corrupt and break the game, most likely that. Try to port parts over until it breaks again to see which part is broken.
