Notice CAN'T LAUNCH STARBOUND? Read this!

What about this one?
It's happening on my girlfriend's computer (Windows 10 64 bit). We played just fine before 1.0 without any issues. At the other thread a dude told me that this could mean a lot of things and for now what we could do is trying to run steam and starbound on admin mode. We tried that and literally every other thing mentioned anywhere regarding launch crashes, and nothing worked. We wasted about 3-4 hours yesterday trying to fix this so we could play together but nothing worked. :/
For every other error there seems to be some kind of sollution (reinstalling, deleting launch options, updating visual c++, updating drivers, etc) but for this one I really can't find any solution.

 

OSX 10.8.5 and 10.7 seem to be completely non-functional for Mac users. Runs for half a second and immediately closes. 10.9+ works fine.

 

You linked to an old version of Visual C++ from nine months ago. Nice work.

 

Uninstalled and reinstalled local files on steam... Starbound will begin to load up, but as soon as it tries to open it's own window, it crashes without an error message.
I'm on a Mac Mini running OSX El Capitan 10.11.5 (15F34)
My computer ran Starbound perfectly before... Hoping this has an easy fix...?
Dying to play 1.0, hope this helps!

So Starbound 1.0 is only for windows 10

 

Exactly the same problem here.

 

Nope.Tried all that but still nothing happens.
We shouldnt suppose to modify the starbound game files, YOU DEVELOPERS are supposed to do that

 

I did everything that was recommended and the game does not work.

 

Mac OSX 10.10+ not working from humble bundle. Download, unpack the zip, go into >starbound1.0_mac>osx>starbound and receive the error "The application 'starbound' can't be opened."

This happens on more than one Mac, different models. Also the Windows version on humble also indicates the last update was 02/16.

 

VC 2015 is completely incompatible with my system, and there is no way for me to correct this issue. I really hope you are planning to patch Starbound to be able to use the older versions of the VC redist, or else me, and many others, are totally screwed.

 

I upgraded to windows 10 and this error now comes up: "Fatal Exception caught: (RendererException) OpenGL 2.0 not available!"

 

Check below.

So, I managed to make my Starbound work. Using Win7 SP1 here. Only had to update the windows, needed to make the thing work first. So, If your Windows Update is not working try the steps in spoiler.

1. Disable it through services.msc, check for Windows Update and stop it.
2. Delete/rename the folder in Windows\SoftwareDistribution. Reboot.
3. Run WU and check for updates (it will probably take a while). Install them.
4. Uninstall and install both versions of the Visual C++ 2015 in Starbound folder (_CommonRedist). You might want to reboot between uninstalling and installing, though mine wasn't necessary.
5. Try and run the game.

EDIT: Nope. Still busted.

EDIT2: Rebooting between runtime installation seem to make it work.
EDIT3: Meh. It breaks after the first execution, after a crash it still continues to display the same problema as before. Seem to only run properly the first time after a system reboot.

 

My characters keep getting randomly deleted! What the f*ck is going on? I feel like the game is purposely doing this just to annoy me! F*cking starbound!

 

every time I try to play the game for a while, my game turns to black squares. then my game crashes! I have tried deleting my starbound and it did not fix the problem!

 

im having an issue where when i open the game its just a white square but i can still hear the sound.

Specs:
OP: Windows 10 pro 64 bit
Processor: AMD Turion II P520 dual-core
Memory:4096 MB ram
Display driver: ATI mobility radeon HD 4200 series

I was able to run the game fine before steam "updated" it to 1.0 even though the game window says starbound beta. i've tried all the solutions that have been posted. you'd think that after four years of working on the same game you chucklef*cks would be able to release a final product that worked for more than just 50% of the people who bought it.

 

I've tried all these things, reinstalled my game (three times) deleted all the directory, downloaded Visual C++, but still this happens! It just stays like this until I click and then it says Starbound.exe has stopped responding and crashes! Please help!

 

I upgraded to windows 10 and this error now comes up: "Fatal Exception caught: (RendererException) OpenGL 2.0 not available!"

--- Post updated ---

 

Got it working, all I had to do was start as administrator.

I'm using Windows 10 though.

 

These aren't fixes for anything. Every other game I have works fine. But sure, it must be my PC if Starbound is the only game that suddenly doesn't work. When it had been working for the last few years.

 

OSX 10.8.5 is not launching here. I won't be updating my OS for a game. Every other version of Starbound works great except for 1.0. The problem is on Chucklefish's end. Please fix! Thanks!
