crashes on startup

[oipluckie]

I tried installing this on a desktop with windows 8 and it crashed on startup. It worked fine on my little laptop with linux on it. I tried reinstalling the game, uninstalling the xna stuff, and updating my driver, but to no avail.

If you needed system info:
windows 8.1 pro
intel i5 4670k
8Gb ram
GTX 560

this is the crash txt
Version: 1.5.5 S

Sounds like you should update xna from Microsoft. Also, updating your .net framework couldn't hurt. Lastly, if that doesn't work, try updating visual c/c++.

Actually I think this might point toward the problem:

System.IndexOutOfRangeException: Index was outside the bounds of the array.
at Kerberos.Steam.API.FileRead(String fileName, Byte[] buffer, Int32 bufferLen)
at ThePit.FileStorage.Read(Boolean useCloud, String fileName)
at ThePit.Profiles.OpenFile(String fileName)
at ThePit.Profiles.Load(String fileName

It looks like The Pit is trying to load your profile or a saved game from Steam instead of the hard drive and failing. Do you have Steam Cloud saves turned on? If so, try turning it off to get the game to load. Once the game loads, you should be able to re-enable Steam Cloud and sync everything up.

Well steam cloud save was off, so I tried enabling and it worked! I feel so stupid...anyways thanks so much! Now i can play the game
