I've combed through the FAQ,  but have no resolution for this issue. I changed nothing in Steam or in my NT files, but NTT suddenly is not included content when I launch the game. (My buddy is experiencing the same issue.)

Basically, we can't make Nuclear Throne work. This is my attempt to get it working.

I fully uninstalled, both in Steam and in Windows 'Add or Remove Program' Control Panel screen, my then-current version of NT.

I re-installed NT.

I downloaded the most recent Nuclear Throne Together .zip file. (9900)

I extracted it into C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Nuclear Throne

I see all the files in this folder.

The fucking files

Per the NTT ReadMe, I launced NTT-Assemble.exe

The result is this command prompt.


I searched through the local files quite a bit, albeit without performing any high-level extraction of other files' info, and did not find any semblance of "data.win". Buddy also has no trace of data.win.

So then I went to Steam > Library > Right-click Nuclear Throne > Properties > Local Files > click Verify Integrity Of Game Files...


Checks out.

Running NTT-Assemble.exe again produces the same command prompt return, as seen above.

Doing so also produces, as expected, an additional nuclearthrone.exe with a timestamp. However, it does not replace the extant nuclearthrone.exe file.

Launching the game from this timestamped .exe file does not launch a version of the game with NTT.

Launching the game via the PLAY button in steam does not launch a version of the game with NTT.

I am Jack's lack of direction going forward.  Please send help.

YellowAfterLife is aware of the issue and working on a fix. Much better presentation of the issue in this post compared to mine :D But if you want a workaround opt into the beta ea99 it still has the data.win folder so NTT assemble will work. Best of luck.
