FileNotFoundException: Could not find file '...Fonts\Arial10.xnb'. Thread - BlackBox mod for StarDrive

Bitbucket.org

i have seen this error a few times and once a long time ago i saw a fix. it seems to be a system issue and should be resolvable.

Stardrivegame.com

"Uninstall XNA frameworks 3.1 and 4.0 through control panel, and then reinstall them from the redists.," -Exod

I tried but its still the same.

Whoops! Please post this StarDrive forums or in the Bugtracker

User Comment:

What language are you playing in?

There are only 2 ways I see this failure happening.

An xna configuration issue and a language issue where the font isn't available for some language

Last time I launched it before installing the mod it was in english.

after a bit of exploring i have found that older versions of the retail game are missing some of these files and have different content and do not include a couple of font files needed to play the game plus have some other issues that also wont work.

BB is based on stardrive 15b. if you have an older version of the game it may not work. I do not know which version will allow it work right but id suggest trying to find something that is at least 1.10 or above and try that.

In addition If the game is cracked in the exe BB will overwrite the exe and remove the crack leaving the game steam locked again.

There is no crack for BB. sorry guys.
