The uninstaller for TeardownTools might have bricked my game. I installed the original one and it worked fine, but I changed my mind about wanting it enabled when I haven't even figured out how to record my screen while playing the game at the same time. However, after running the installer and then relaunching the game, all the menus were buggy and I couldn't pause my game. I tried doing the same with the Lite version and after uninstalling again the same issues occurred. I could not find any clear instructions on what to do in this sort of situation, and I'm still trying to figure out how discord works.
Should I redownload the game from my Steam library or something?
"Verify integrity of game files" should fix the problem, which can be found by going into the steam library, right-clicking Teardown -> Properties -> Local Files.
I had the same issue. It happened every time. But good to know. It would be nice to add a toggle lol.
