    (Note the title is out of date and the new problem preventing WinXP users from starting the game is the 'Access Violation' issue.)

    BELOW IS A TEMPORARY WORK AROUND FOR THE ACCESS VIOLATION ERROR:

    Step 1: Download attached file.
    Step 2: Go to your Starbound directory, most likely C:/Program Files/Steam/Steamapps/Common/Starbound/Win32
    Step 3: Back-up your SDL.dll file and then drop in the new one that you downloaded.
    Step 4: Disable steam community and play in OpenGL mode (Not a requirement but it helped my FPS).

    This is not guaranteed to work but has worked for many people, if it does not work for you then you will have to wait for with winXP fix that we are getting in a few days.

    Yep. After starting the game and clicking Play, I wait awhile, get to the Chucklefish logo, then it just hangs.

    I'm starting to think this game requires a later version of Windows. They never released system specs (for whatever reason...) and this is exactly why people wanted to know what they needed to be able to run it before purchasing the game. There are games with 2d graphics similar to SB that require win 7 or 8.
