It should have pointed you to an unhandledexceptions.txt file -- can you post the contents of that?  Most likely one of your prerequisites did not install correctly, but I can't be sure without seeing that file.

it hasn't done anything, that thing that asks you to send an error report, that is all that comes up, and i can't find any info from that as to why it won't start :|

Hmm, that is strange -- you might try looking in your game folder for AI War inside Steam to see if there is unhandledexceptions.txt or similar (for example, on my Win7 machine that directory is:  C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ai war fleet command)

However, I imagine that most likely either .NET 3.5 or something of that nature is missing if it is failing that early and not giving you a better message of some sort.  Here is the link where you can get the prerequisites directly to fix that:  http://arcengames.com/forums/index.php/topic,1811.0.html

And if .NET 3.5 web installer gives you trouble (a known issue to Microsoft for a minority of Windows computers), here is the fix for that:  http://arcengames.com/forums/index.php/topic,26.0.html

Hope that helps!

Right, it's for me.  If you post the contents, I can tell you what's going on.

Yep -- thanks.  Looks like your settings.dat file became corrupted somehow.  If you delete that file, it will recreate it and you will be good to go (you'll need to put your settings back in, and your profile data, though).

how do it do that?

If you right click on the AI War shortcut on either your desktop or the Start menu and choose 'Open file location', an explorer window will open in your AI War directory. Inside this directory, there will be a file called settings.dat. Delete this file, then launch AI War.

You'll be asked to recreate your profile and enter your license key again.

EDIT: If you're running Windows XP, you'll have to navigate to your AI War directory;

Stand alone:
C:\Program Files\Arcen Games, LLC\AI War\

Impulse:
C:\Program Files\Indie Games\AI War\

Steam:
C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\<profile>\ai war fleet command\

Sorry for the confusion.  Desktop shortcuts generated by Steam are actually a bit different from regular shortcuts -- they invoke steam itself, with an appid for the game in question, and so don't reveal the location of the actual program (unlike other ways of installing the game, including Impulse, which work like normal shortcuts).

Nevertheless, this directory (with whatever your profile name is) will work, unless you've installed Steam on an alternate location (such as a different drive, or Program Files (x86), etc):

C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\<profile>\ai war fleet command\

If you use that general template, and just explore to each segment individually through Windows Explorer, you should hopefully be able to find the settings.dat file fairly easily to remove it.
