Amnesia crashes when prompted to start - Lukas Owens - 08-15-2017

I have read the troubleshooting guides, nothing works.

I have 15 hours in game, it worked every single time I played it, even with max settings,
now it crashes when prompted to launch, I've run all EXE files as admin to see if that would help, I've changed all graphics settings to low, I've turned off steam overlay, I've shut down all background programs and I've deleted the main settings, I'm thinking about reinstalling, but if there is a quicker fix, I would like to know, any help is appreciated :/

here is the HPL file

I reinstalled the game and validated all the files, It's working now Smile

Looked like something went wrong with the main font used by the game. Nonetheless, glad to hear you got it fixed! Closing Smile
