It doesn't help?
Then what's your OS (PC/MAC/Android)?
What are the symptoms:
- There's a crash ingame
- I see the main menu but the game doesn't start
- The game loads but the intro video doesn't show
- ...
Regardless your OS, there's always a log file somewhere that will help.
Android issues
The game takes ages to load:
We're aware of this issue and working on this. Regarding your hardware the game will take between 5/10 minutes before the introduction video shows up.
The game loads but crash before the introduction video:
First try to clear the application cache (settings/applications/<THE GAME>/storage/clear cache).
If it's not better, you can also try to clear the game data. This will delete your saves! You might want to keep a copy of your saves: How to find a save file
The game still crashes
Search for the logs...
There's two main log files that will help the debug:
- log.txt
- traceback.txt
The logs are located in the game root folder or data folder for android:
- Steam: `C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Love & Sex Second Base` (or wherever you install the game).
- Windows/Mac/Linux: check the unzipped folder.
- Android: `SD:/Android/data/com.andrealphusgames.loveandsexsecondbase`. This is a protected folder and you will need to connect your device to a computer to access this folder.
