Game crashing when I execute it

Looking at your logs the game is trying to load Spaced Out but the additional files but they haven't been downloaded from Steam. You own Spaced Out looking at your logs. We encountered this once before on the team.

First try deleting Documents\Klei\OxygenNotIncluded\kplayerprefs.yaml and launch the game. 

If that doesn't work try reinstalling the game. Make sure the C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\OxygenNotIncluded folder is completely gone before you install it. You may need to delete your kplayerprefs.yaml again.

that's weird because i don't have spaced out, also i have deleted the kplayerprefs.yaml file before but the game would still crash so i dunno.

and yes, i have reinstalled the game three times, and deleted the kplayerprefs.yaml file before installing it again.

edit: if you think buying the dlc can fix this please let me know

You are correct, your log file indicates Spaced Out is downloaded and active but you don't own it. I'm very interested in figuring out if this an issue with Steam or how we query ownership data from Steam.

You can try editing your kplayerprefs.yaml file and change the following line to 0 instead of 1.

EXPANSION1_ID.ENABLED: 0

 

i don't have that line in my kplayerprefs.yaml file, can i add it?

That is even more strange but yes try adding it in the "ints" section.

it worked! all i did was just paste the line in the "ints" section, didn't even have to change the number. thank you!

Glad to hear you're able to play the game again!

Do you see the "Spaced Out! Activate DLC" button on the title screen? This button should be hidden if you don't own the DLC so if you click it you might need to edit your kplayerprefs again.

Re-installing Steam might resolve the issue completely but since you're able to play I see no reason to try it.

the button is not there, so i suppose everything's now going alright!
