Living with Temptation: American Sunset: Crashing Constantly (Fix)
Short answer
The crashes have stopped; there was only one more CTD but there was no traceback file. After that, no more problems.
How to fix it
- Completely uninstall the game from your local computer. Make sure to remove every remaining trace of the files from your system.
- Turn off Steam cloud synchronization.
- Clear the Steam cache.
- Clean-reinstall the game.
- Once installed, run the Steam integrity verification on the files before launching the game for the first time.
- If the game crashes on the initial launch, try starting it a second time.
If it still doesn't work
- Check your game directory for a log.txt file if further crashes occur.
- Note that crashes may occasionally happen without generating a traceback file.
What players reported
Frequent crashes ruin the experience for me. Every time after a crash I have Steam check the integrity of the files, and it reports 147 of them are corrupted and need redownloading. After that, I have Steam verify the integrity again, and it reports all is fine. I start up the game; crash. Am I the only one experiencing this?
