the game didn't start

  • Running it as an administrator?

    If you have tried most things I would consider doing this then.

    • Navigate to control panel, uninstall "Cattle and Crops" and also uninstall "Cattle and Crops Online Installer".
    • Navigate to C:\Users\YourPCNameHere\AppData\Roaming and delete the Launchpad folder.
    • Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86) and delete Cattle and Crops folder.
    • Navigate to C:\Users\YourPCNameHere\Documents\My Games and delete the Cattle and Crops folder.
    • Re-download the launcher, install that and re-download the game.
    • Success!
    Folder locations might differ depending on install location.

  • Raching the Roaming folder can be a bit confusing. A different mehtod to what tgs wrote would be pressing your Windows and R keys at the same time (you can also search for Run in the Windows Search). There should be a prompt where you need to enter %appdata% and press Ok.
    Should lead you right into the Roaming folder.
