Made a new user, game opens up and works fine. So do I have to use the new user to play this game? Or is there some way to find out what is causing the game to get the error on the other user?

Besides that, thanks a great deal. Hope this problem wasn't a huge headache.

Took me a while but I got the newest Catalyst installed. After that I restarted the pc, tried to open the game but still the same error. Also ran the DirectX installer, same thing. On the plus side, I have the newest Catalyst.

Not sure about the DirectX thing, but I think I got the latest one. Here is a dxdiag report, maybe that will give you something.

About the .cfg file. My documents folder doesn't have the Almost Human folder in it. I'll do a search for the folder, maybe it does exist, but for now I can't find it.

Steam version.

Yup, did that too. Also tried Windows XP Service Pack 2 and 3. Nothing changes

Tried that, didn't work

Recently did a clean reinstall of windows 10 and decided to install the game, but whenever I launch it it gives me this error: The exception unknown software exception (0xc0000417) occurred in the application at location 0x656FAF3E. Click on OK to terminate the program The location sometimes changes...
