Require Help Getting TFTD to work

[Red Floater]

I recently got TFTD after enjoying playing UFO on OpenXCom and wanting a new experience. I checked the tutorials and switched to TFTD from the mod screen, and that made the game crash. Now every time I launch OpenXCom, it tells me it can't load the game, says there's something wrong with "geodata/world.dat", says something about a "log file" and then just closes itself. I can't even play UFO now because it doesn't even let me get to the main screen.

I've checked the files and "geodata/world.dat" seems to be in the right place. Can anyone help me? I have no programming skills, I can't seem to make it work.

1/ please find a file called openxcom.log and attach it here so that we can have a look at the problem

2/ if you want to switch back to UFO, you can find and delete a file called options.cfg ... that deletes and resets all settings and should start UFO next time you start the game

If you're on Windows, both files are most likely located in your "Documents" folder in the "OpenXcom" subfolder

Hi Meridian,
After looking through my Openxcom folder, I've been unable to find any files with those names.
Can you help me with this?

[Meridian]

Have you tried the "Documents" folder as suggested above?

[Red Floater]

I've been searching through my OpenXCom folders, but I cannot find a "Documents" folder.

Thanks for the screenshot, it's very helpful. But I don't have any LOG files in that folder.

[Meridian]

What do you have there then?

[Red Floater]

I have this txt. document.

[Meridian]

That is the log file.

There should be one more file on the same place called "options.cfg" or maybe just "options"... if you delete that, the game should reset itself to UFO.

If not, then just uninstall and delete everything and try from the beginning.

[Red Floater]

Okay, I'll try it. Thanks for the help.

[Red Floater]

Well, I can play UFO OpenXCom again, but I'm uncertain of whether or not TFTD will work.

[Red Floater]

Alright, I've just tried it. It appears that TFTD continues to crash my copy. I have included log file.

Try a different copy of TFTD.  Sometimes it helps, especially if your version has files missing.

[Red Floater]

I've installed TFTD from Steam, and upon checking the files I found it had everything needed, yet it still won't work. I don't understand what you mean by "a different copy", this is the only one I purchased.
