Won't start

I get this crash every time I try to launch the game. I've tried giving it time, launching a dozen times, nothing appears to work. In the screenshot is the entire log in the command prompt as the game launches.

I see for some reason, it's trying to read from C:\Users\Ziggity\AppData\Local\, so it's hard-coded to your profile folder, instead of to %localappdata%\ which'd reach my local appdata. I assume that's related to why it can't launch, but I dunno.

Hello!

That console print isn't actually relevant to the game's startup, all of that information is related to the Engine rather than the Game and isn't vital. Some issues the engine has aren't preventable unfortunately, and that one is uniquely annoying. A Happy Place has a long first launch, if it launches once it'll launch much quicker upon subsequent starts. It takes at least a minute, if that doesn't work then force closing the window and trying again until it launches always ends up eventually working but it needs somewhere between a minute or two per attempt. The issue is related to A Happy Place being the biggest, if not one of the biggest, blender games. Some players have seen successful launches after having restarted their computer or closing other programs. Hopefully it ends up working, sorry for the inconvenience!
