I just downloaded Sanitarium and it won't play. Here is the message I get.(An unknown exception has occurred has occurred. Asylum.exe has stopped working. I have never had any trouble with games that I bought from Steam. I uninstalled it twice but get the same message. Thanks

I looked around online to see if anyone else had experienced this error message, and a few people had posted with this problem. For some, right clicking on the exe file and going to Properties, then to Compatibility, and then putting a checkmark by "Run this program as an administrator," fixed the problem for them. It's worth a try.

Richard, try right clicking on the exe file and you should see a menu come up; one of the options is to run as the administrator. Make sure that is checked. I was forgetting that you don't need to go to Compatibility to find the run as administrator option.

I think I know what the problem is about finding the run as administrator option - it's because you are trying to play the game through Steam, and therefore it works differently.

I found these instructions on a Steam forum, but I don't know if it will work - someone more knowledgeable will have to step in and try to help. Anyway, here are the instructions:

Quote:
Find the application in the steam folders, right click on the exe for the game and choose properties, then choose compatibility tab and check mark the check box at the bottom that says run as administrator. Then every time you start the game it will run in admin mode.


That's all I can think of. If this is of no help, maybe another GameBoomer will be able to help, or Steam can help you.

I think Marian is correct, but I'd also suggest contacting Steam.

Hello Richard,

We are the developers of this version on Steam.
Does it work now?

If not, could you please send us the crash.dmp file (C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\DotEmu\Sanitarium)?
Then, we could know where is exactly the issue and help you.

Thank you,
The DotEmu Team

Richard, I would imagine that you can send the crash file to the email address listed on DotEmu's profile.

I didn't think that the crash dump file would be that large. Let's wait for some advice from DotEmu or one of the techies here.

Must be to big this is what I get this is what I get when I try to attach the file.Error: Some attachments are too big. Size of each file is limited to 20 MB. I checked the size of the file and it says 1.30 KB. I sent a e-mail to her and see if she any other ideas.
Jessica sent me UPLOAD.EE never heard of it but I used it and it really works good up to 200MB. So I sent her the crash.dmp File.

You might try running CCleaner on your registry after uninstalling to get rid of any stray entries and then reinstalling.
