I found a very interesting bug in the game, causing it to crash instantly after startup.
After looking at the error log, it looked like it came from trying to read hotkeys, which made me remember that i rebound a function to use the "|" key (On Norwegian keyboards, that's next to the "1" key, so can be quiet convenient to use)
After digging some, i found out the settings were saved in the "appdata/local" folder. I deleted it from there, and the game would let me launch again. I tried to rebind it again to confirm it, and the crash returned on next startup.
Even a delete and reinstall + verify file integrity from steam did not fix this, so i can imagine for someone not able to read/understand the crashlog, this would be very hard to figure out.
