Game Crashing to Desktop

[unmerged(263746)]

Magicka crashes whenever I open the program; I get through the opening credits and then it crashes.


Version: 1.3.3.7
Thread: LoaderThread
System.IO.EndOfStreamException: Unable to read beyond the end of the stream.
at System.IO.__Error.EndOfFile()
at System.IO.BinaryReader.FillBuffer(Int32 numBytes)
at System.IO.BinaryReader.ReadInt32()
at Magicka.Storage.SaveManager.LoadLeaderBoards()
at Magicka.Game.LoaderFunction()

This problem has been going on for over a week and did not coincide with any immediate patch download.

Any help would be appreciated

Alright, so I just tried to still reinstall the game and it still crashed, then I realized that I still had my save data, so i deleted that folder and now it works.

just in case, the save data is stored in: [path to steam folder]\Steam\steamapps\common\magicka\SaveData
