Hello, For the last week any time I try to start the game I get a critical error. I had changed no files nor have I installed any new software. I have done the repair and ended up reinstalling entire game. Below is what the critical error message is.

I found the problem.

Ok I can tell you what happened, but I can't tell you why as I am not sure. I had been using my main account as usual and decided I wanted to do some incognito spectating and logged into assist with no problem and went to join a server and still no problem. A few seconds after joining I was kicked by pb for Ignoring MD5Tool Queries, which has odd. When I went to rejoin I got the critical error message and ever time I try join always critical error. So I tried repairing and then completely removed everything and re downloaded the game both of which had same critical error messages. I saved a copy of my user.ini file before doing these to save my key binds and all my keyboard and mouse settings and copied it in my folder each time. Finally I decided to look and see if something was wrong with that file. Oh buddy! For some reason from when I joined that server or  when I received  the first critical error my ini file was completely erased except for one line and I don't remember the exact wording, but I remember part of it that said "Crash Game Box". There was more in that line before Crash Game Box and some after but like said I can't remember what it said and deleted it. Don't know if any help at all but that's what happened.

Thx.

For others that might get the same problem, and are unsure how to restore ini's to the default:
In the Assist Client, Install Tab, Reset + Repair AA

But the reason this didn't work for him, is - if I understand this correctly - because he copied the corrupted file (which was user.ini in this case) back himself

Yes and no Teddy. Yes about copying it back, as have done for years for simple reason I not a typing expert and my old geezer mind needs controls way they been forever for myself to play.    But that wasn't what caused all this in first place. Something happened to erase my entire ini file and place that one line in it that I had never even heard of before. The pc that I use to play AA on isn't used by anyone else for anything but playing AA and visiting this website, 82nd website and BT website. I guess my machine decided to burp and fart at same time and that was the end result.   

I guess shit does happen

I'm willing to be someone deliberately went into your house, opened your PC and added that line to your user.ini

LOL  No one visits here. I always tell people that everyone is scared of me or hate me. Two people visit here. My son and the lady that keeps me inline.  Neither of which know much more than how to turn a computer on and get on their facebook. Now it is getting to be winter maybe a mouse got in here and hacked it up. 

A mouse sounds most likely. If you've read/seen The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, you know they're smart as hell as well!
