    Ow, and Here's the old Beta Launcher, it works standalone, place it in the starbound/win32/ folder, and use "launcher.exe", it never got patched into Starbound, so it just works fine.
    Link of Latest Starbound Beta Launcher, for anyone who wants it still:
    Dropbox: Starbound Latest Beta Launcher - Standalone.

    A file in your Starbound root folder is missing certain rights (Microsoft Windows Security), Add the rights to that specific file, or just select the whole root folder,
    And In Properties > Security Tab, Every User/Group, Check all boxe's by selecting a User/Group and Click on Edit..
    I hope this helps.

    So I installed every option update for Windows 7, and the game is working without a hitch.

    Con: Windows 10 notifications were haunting me until I installed a Win10 update blocker. Would recommend the blocker.

    I tried so many of the solutions in this thread but nothing helped...

    Ironically I could play the game fine throughout the beta, but now it won't launch at all. The game never starts via steam, and when I try from the folders I get the "api-ms-win-crt-runtime"-error.
    And yes I've reinstalled vcredist like 4 times.

    Nothing has worked. In fact I think I got a virus while trying to download C++. It would not download on chrome so I did it on internet explorer (oh my god why did I do that). I've basically given up on this game and I am just gonna check in a few weeks to see if a proper solution has finally been managed.

    Don't give up yet, Try to patch with the files i included with this Post, It may fix your problem!,
    Also, Try a Modloader for Starbound Release (Like: Starloader).

    Try one of my Solutions Posted earlyer in this Thread:


    NOTE: For Hardware Failure's, Try this Torrent of a Driver Package, 11.1GB, This fixed my graphics card and installed a much more stable Driver..

    When I try to open starboard on my macbook air, the starboard icon briefly jumps and then disappears. I need help! I didn't want to waste my money on a game that doesn't even work. :(

    I have tried all the things that are "supposed" to make starboard work but they just aren't working for me.

    error starbound.png
    I get this error when i try to launch Starbound via steam. When i shut down Steam and launch the game from the root folder, i get another error telling me openGL 2.0 is not aviable.
    i downloaded the opengl file from xboxxxxd's post but even with admin rights i cant overwrite the existing opengl file in the system32 folder :/


    EDIT: fixed the problem that didnt wanted to let me to replace the opengl32.dll

    for everyone who encounters the same problem: change the ownership of the original opengl32.dll in your system32 folder to your admin account, then you can edit the access controll list and give admin full controll

    game is running for me now, only from root tho and with terrible low fps so its basicly unplayable and launching from steam is still bugged

    like they have it when Launching the unstable version from steam
    i'm just saying that may help until a real fix is ready

    yup they need to make a real fix they have made not just giving solutions that don't realy work this whole thing may end up in their own community losing Faith in them if a real fix doesn't come

    Jesus, are you guys even working on a fix or just telling half of your customers to fix it themselves?? It's obviously an issue on YOUR end, not ours. The game ran fine before.

    Almost a week has passed without any information on the Access Violation and OpenGL issues. I'm still unable to play or even start the game.

    The wait for a fix wouldn't be that frustrating, if we could get a statement from the devs about the current status. Are these known issues? Do you know what is causing it? Do you need more feedback / logs / specs / infos to identify the issues? Are you working on it? Any rough ETA for a fix? Do you even care to fix this ASAP or do (rather small but annoying) ingame issues like dirt colors or mob behaviour have a much higher priority?

    I really have started to think that they won't fix it because our computers are too old

    Nah. I have a quite decent machine I built little over a year ago, which is still able to play all games with high (or max) quality settings on 1080p, including an up-to-date Win10 etc. I can't think of any reason, why my computer should be to blame here. I'm pretty sure that some changes they made to the game in 1.0 is causing this. Starbound worked fine one day before 1.0 was released.
