I bought Clones in December and played to the end of January, then I stopped playing for a while. I tried to start it up yesterday and it immediately crashes after the green CLONES start screen comes up. I tried verifying integrity of game files and a file is missing. Steam downloads it, but the file is still missing if I try verifying again. I also tried reinstalling but it doesn't work either. I haven't changed anything on my computer either. Has anybody else had this problem and know a solution?

Try the "Delete Local Content" option in Steam to uninstall the game, then manually remove the following folders on your computer:
1) My Documents\Clones
2) (Windows 7) C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Clones\
(Windows XP) C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Clones\

Then re-download and install the game. If this does not fix the problem then right after the crash please post a reply and attach the following files: Client.txt, Server.txt from
(Windows 7) C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Clones\Cache\Log\
(Windows XP) C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Clones\Cache\Log\

If the game starts up you should be able to choose your old profile from the options menu because that is stored in the Steam Cloud.

Thank you for a quick reply, your advice led me to the problem. My sega saturn usb controller was somehow messing with the clones start up. I unplugged it and the game works now.

P.S. Thanks for making such an awesome game.

Thanks for posting your solution! We used to support a gamepad for local splitscreen multiplayer, but that feature is no longer available. We will remove detection of gamepads to prevent this problem in the next patch.
