I just rolled back my video card drivers and now my FTL crashes on startup. I know that alot of fixes include updating video drivers, but the reason i rolled back my card was to avoid grey screens during other games. Is there a fix around this FTL crash or is the only option to update drivers? Any help greatly appreciated.

edit: Here's the crash logs

im running asus g73jh, non updated drivers for hd ati radeon mob 5870

out of curiosity, is this just me/problem due to my drivers or was there a recent patch or something that started crashing occurring for more pple?

Looks like you're stuck between having problems with newer or older drivers. Seems FTL doesn't like the rollback you did.

The only other possibility is a corrupted database. Mods frequently do this and the game usually crashes during startup or once the player chooses the ship and starts the game. You can fix this by deleting the /resources folder and reinstalling the game. But only do this if you used mods, it will not help with compatibility issues.

Thanks for the crash log, it may help the devs pinpoint the error.

Got the same thing here:

Vanilla, no Mods, and I was playing it fine a month ago. Tried a fresh install as well. Still no luck.

It's fixed now. I updated my ATI Drivers (with 13.3 Beta 3 drivers) and everything worked again.

It wasn't just FTL that broke, a bunch of other games wouldn't run either. now they all run fine.

That's very problematic. Some drivers work, some dont.
