6 years ago I just added extended error message for this in 94e941bf132912137a72f6556698f2ea91caa3da since this seems to be a common problem ;)
AutoSimC could not decode your input file '{file}' with encoding 'utf-8'.
Please make sure that your text editor encodes the file as 'utf-8',
or as a quick fix remove any special characters from your character name.What this error means is that when you edited your input.txt file 1) You probably added some special characters somewhere, likely in your character name. 2) Your Text Editor saved the file with an encoding different than UTF-8, which we expect the input.txt file to be in.
So you either need to tell your Text Editor to save the file with the expected UTF-8 encoding, or as a quick-and dirty fix, you can also just remove any special (non-ASCII) characters. Please note that AutoSimC does not use your character name anyway, so you can just write eg. priest=foo

Hi, when I try to run the script I get an error and the cmd.ex closes instantly. When open the log.txt I get this message report:

Would be great if I get help enough to solve the problem. Thanks beforehand!
