Removing cache files in Windows/Game some crashes on startup FIX

chat1*** says:
So I deleted all the cache filles and while loading the game crashes

search with your file explorer for cache.fcz files
delete all files that have "cache.fcz" in its name
dont search by hand, use your pc to do it
(you only need to search inside your One Hour One Life folder)
it would be nice to have a windows .bat file to do this, that makes it easier for people

### With linux it's just rm-command to remove files (about five I think), but in windows as follows:
Sorry no .bat since there isn't one variable (afaik) that points where OHOL is installed. If you find one, .bat file is easy to make, one line... My example is win7, works in others too. If you know what to do it's del *cache.fcz /s otherwise (1) or (2):

EDIT: Use *cache.fcz instead of *.fcz since some mods/installs have other .fcz ending stuff. Worked for me, win7 though.

So two possibilities:

###
1- you know where your OHOL is installed in windows
Start cmd (in start-menu or start/accessories), like this: https://prnt.sc/nkpcsj then go using c:, cd c:\myGAME\OHOL and type

(remember you have different directory name, mine is c:\myGAME\OHOL in the example)

C:\myGAME\OHOL>del C:\myGAME\OHOL *.fcz /s      <- cache.fcz

Then close all extra windows and start the game like you usually do... Works now.

###
2- you do NOT know where OHOL is but have STEAM
Start steam, right-click OHOL, click "browse local files"
https://prnt.sc/nkpc70

Then you want to "copy" the address so you do not have to type it in CMD ("paint" it with mouse):
https://prnt.sc/nkpj5q so paint the address and click "copy".

Now, start cmd-prompt, it is in your start-menu (or start/accessories):
https://prnt.sc/nkpcsj

Now you can just type:
cd (use mouse to "paste") (that is, type letters cd and space, then control+v or right mouse and "paste"), then type:
del (again mouse to "paste") /s      cache.fcz (same as above, ok you don't have to first go to the directory but it is better...)

It will look something like mine:
c:\myGAME\OHOL del myGAME\OHOL *.fcz /s        cache.fcz     <-like that, or like: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\One Hour One Life

After you typed del-command it says it deleted some files. Then you can start game normally. Also I know you don't have to go to target directory first but it is a bit safer !
