Hi everyone,

Anyone know what the "The file xxx does not look like a text file or the file encoding is not supported" error means? This is the error I get at the bottom of the AGK2 window when i try to open my code file. I can open other projects without problem. I am thinking the file might be corrupted which of course would be a big bummer as I don't have a copy, only the last .exe file.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Strange. But even if AppGameKit can't read it, other software might. Try opening main.agc with a text editor.

Ah, damn, the file is completely empty, not a single line of text.

After I finished on working on it yesterday the power to my pc was cut off, (it was all saved though). Today when i wanted to run agk2 steam had me reinstall it, and afterwards this.

Anyway, thanks. I guess I will have to write it again,.. It was maybe a couple of hours of work but still annoying as I cannot find much time to code.
