Reinstalled 5 times in one day, still cant run AoC

OP really should reinstall Windows. First reading it sounds like something is corrupt or screwed up or a virus. But its hard to guess over the internet.

Well it depends on many things, like age and cooling. Seagate also had huge production problems after a flood some years ago, thats probably very related to those test results. All drives can fail though, and symptoms that OP has might lead to a failing drive or a bad controller / cable / sata port.

Those floods in Thailand hit all manufacturers equally, and were mostly a good reason to get the prices up. It didn't affect the quality of the production.

I think the problem lies within Windows.

Reinstall OS. Great way to fix random problems if you are sure hardware is not the issue, which is unlikely in this case.

Once i played BlazBlue fine and next day it would crash no matter what i do. Rolled Windows back few days and the issue continued. Everything else worked fine. Repaired Windows (in reality this does nothing and is useless feature), fixed/reinstalled drivers. No help. After fresh OS install game worked fine. :)

Also never install optional Windows updates, they bring a lot of trouble in lots of games, just saying.

And this problem is back. Played the game just fine yesterday, went to play today and get the same thing as the OP.

It is also telling me that I have an issue with the localconfig.xml.

Let me guess ... you've been using AoC Quick Launcher in the old installation? If so, first uninstall AoC Quick Launcher if not done already, then search your registry for ALL (!) entries of AoC Quick Launcher and delete them. After that the game will run fine.
