Just bought Besiege and I was getting crashes when trying to start the game. The screen would just go black and when I alt+tabbed there would be a message saying the game crashed.
I looked at the error log in output_log.txt and it was crashing because of two missing files in the Besiege_Data folder: Config.txt and CompletedLevels.txt. I created empty files with these names in that folder and tried to play the game again, but it still crashed, this time because of a NullReferenceException from the String parser trying to read an empty file.
So it seemed like for whatever reason Besiege wasn't being allowed write access to create those two files and write to them.
So the way I fixed it was...
Run Besiege.exe as administrator
In C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Besiege, right click on Besiege.exe then click on Run as administrator
That should hopefully make the game playable
