Starbound freeze/crash at Chucklefish logo~

Windows XP here. Is this an XP only crash?

 

One XP more in the list. Freezed in the logo, and don't want work. Some help or ideas?

 

Someone mentioned they were having the same issue on windows 8, but I think it's mainly XP users. I've been trying different Steam launch commands to see if I can skip the splash and get straight to the menu but it ends up running as a process and a window never pops up. I'm currently downloading it over again in hope it was a bad download.

If anyone finds a solution please post it here! thanks!

 

Also XP here. Same problem.

 

I had this problem, but fixed it by disabling windows firewall.

 

If that's the case, then it's trying to access the Internet (launcher maybe?).

 

It launches two beta programs from the launcher

 

what? I don't even have windows firewall installed on my pc. it shouldn't effect safe mode launch.

I just updated my VC++ redist files and no improvement still freezing.

That happened to me when I got impatient and press launch game too many times. the initial launch of a regular game takes a bit, but as soon as the splash screen pop it it freezes and becomes unresponsive.

 

happens on my crappy laptop

works fine on my beefy desktop. Would rather play it on my crappy laptop though

 

Also using Windows XP.
It froze at the Chucklefish logo for about ten minutes then the screen went black. I waited another ten minutes and nothing happened, so I just closed it.

 

Windows XP here too :U

 

Also windows xp, disabling steam overlay did nothing and I don't use windows firewall. Safemode and launcher do same thing. If disabling firewall fixed it maybe you have to open a particular port so it can access the internet, but that makes zero sense if it's just an issue for XP... it'd be an issue for everyone.

 

From the looks of it, there's yet to be an XP user who managed to get past the logo.

 

Fixed a while ago~
You just have to wait a minute or so, and the game will resume~

 

Except this doesn't work.

 

Doesnt work for me...

 

Does not work.

 

What operating system are you using? For most people in the thread waiting isn't working for 'a minute or so' or 20 minutes, but IF you were on XP, that would be useful to know it's working for you.

 

I can't even open Starbound, all I get is an error:

C:\Users\X\AppData\Local\Temp\WERE59D.tmp.WERInternalMetadata.xml
C:\Users\X\AppData\Local\Temp\WER2AF7.tmp.appcompat.txt
C:\Users\X\AppData\Local\Temp\WER2E91.tmp.mdmp

Running with a higher end computer with Windows 7, with all drivers up to date, I've tried everything that's been suggested, and a few things by myself but I can't seem to solve it.

 

What version of Windows are you using. Waiting doesn't fix anything I waited over 10 minutes and it doesn't do anything.
