    So i bought the game a few days after it came out trough steam.
    I press play and the launcher pops up but when i try to launch the game itself nothing happens.
    This went on for a while, i tried a few things people had suggested and eventually it lauched.
    I played around an hour or so and tried to save and quit and the game crashed and wouldnt launch again.
    I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling but it didnt work, i tried everything i tried last time but nothing.
    I havent gotten it to launch the game since that and i honestly dont know what to do now.

    If nothing at all happens when you launch, or you hear a Ding in the background, uninstall/Backup Starbound, create a new Steam library (Steam > Settings > Downloads) *located somewhere outside of Program Files, such as c:\SteamLibrary or q:\Steamlibrary *, then install/Restore Starbound to the new Steam library.

    In Steam, right-click Starbound, Properties, Local Files, Browse...

    What EXACTLY does it do when you click "Play Starbound" in the Launcher?
