Notice CAN'T LAUNCH STARBOUND? Read this!

I was having that exact same problem. Here's how I got around it.
Instead of launching through Steam, navigate to where the Starbound executable is saved. Most likely C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Starbound\win64 (or win32 if you need to use the 32 bit version)
Right click on Starbound, and select "Run as Administrator".

Unfortunately you'll probably need to do this every time until another fix is found, and you also won't get the steam interface in-game, but it will at least get the game running without any problems.
To make things easier. Create a shortcut to Starbound and move it to your desktop, or wherever else you want it. Then right click that shortcut and go to Properties, click Advanced, then check the box for Run as Administrator.

 

I have the same problem...

 

I'm having the same issue the last few folks have had and none of the solutions mentioned are working.

I don't have discord running on the computer I'm trying to run starbound on.

The game only opens running via administrator from the desktop. Trying to run through steam or steams big screen mode to try and use a controller won't work, I just results in the game loading to the chucklfish logo and then black loading screen for anywhere from a few minutes to immediately crashing back to the steam launcher and giving no errors when it does so.

When I try to launch through steam and go back to launch from the desktop via admin it won't launch the game at all and requires resetting my PC to get it to open through desktop.

I need the game to run through steam so I can use my controller... It's my preference for gaming and this method worked last month when I was playing more often, something has since changed that has made the game not launch properly via steam for this to continue working.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm at a loss after trying for the last three hours and wasting an hour last night trying to figure this out.

 

Launch NVIDIA Control Panel and assign Starbund.exe to launch from a high-performance or integrated graphics processor (GPU). This fixed the game, but not completely.

Most likely the problem is encountered among owners of laptops or those who have a second video card (including an integrated video card).
In a laptop, if someone did not know two video cards: discrete and integrated.

The second option: this is inconsistency between Discord and Starbound (or overlays and Starbound). Try to run it without Discord and other programs that have an overlay, except for steam. Closed programs, you can run after starting the game.

 

I already did everything and i still get the "api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll" error
updated the service pack, updated AMD drivers and deleted the starbound folder and reinstalled
I can start the game on 32-bits but when i try to play the normal one it just says "running and then Syncing" and the nothing.
And yes i have x64 Win7.

 

I have this error appears when you start the game, that on behalf of the administrator, that just

 

c'ant lunch starbound , the game dont start at all just a white window for few second before closing , i got any error message , i tryed to reinstal him few times but nothing works ;.;

 

To hell with this. I tried everything and reinstalled the game at least ten times.
Sorry, Chucklefish, but I'm getting a refund and going back to pirate version. At least it works fine.

 

I can't get Starbound to launch in 64bit mode. It just makes a windows error sound, but nothing happens. No error, no window. 32bit works fine. I tried deleting my game folder and re-installing (although it was a fresh install to begin with), no change.

Edit: Closing Discord makes no difference either.

 

is ur OS x64 or x86? if x86, what about your processor? if ur processor is x64, try getting an x64 OS. if its x86, you can only run 32-bit programs no matter what u do, outside of getting new hardware

 

Hi
@NexusTheBrony
I also can't get Starbound to launch in 64bit mode or 32bit mode. It just makes a windows error sound, then "Starbound has stopped working".

I'm running Windows 10 1903, and yes it's x64, as is my processor (i7-6700K).

 

I am still unable to launch the game in 64bit. No mods.
Here is a dxdiag if it helps: https://pastebin.com/C1ecq58y

 

So I am only kindof having an issue running Starbound. When I go to the root directory and run the game's regular exe it runs fine. the PROBLEM is I cant seem to get the game to run through steam. it opens, goes to the chuckle fish chuckle and then crashes. normally this wouldn't be a big deal for me since I can still technically run the game. But, if I don't run the game through steam, then I cant open the steam workshop in the game, which means no cool mods.

anyone else having a similar issue?

 

Verified files through steam yet?

 

Got the Same Problem. I tried everything possible to fix This with my IT-Flatmate.

UPDATE: figured it out! It was the Nvidia graphics card -- wouldn't have guessed that! Now I've switched over to using the clunky old Intel one, it's working fine.

This year, my operating system had a routine update. Ever since that update, Starbound doesn't want to load properly. I've tried so many things, I'm stumped. And I'm so sad because I was playing Starbound to relax, and now I don't have that anymore.

Here are the things I've tried (in combination too, not just in this order):

1. uninstalled/reinstalled Starbound
2. uninstalled Starbound, deleted the Starbound directory files from my computer, reinstalled Starbound
3. updated all my graphic cards drivers (I have Nvidia and Intel)
4. In my graphics settings, set Starbound as "high performance"
5. Run Steam as administrator, tried to open Starbound
6. Run Steam and Starbound as adminstrator
7. Open Starbound directly through Starbound exe file (not through Steam), running as administrator
8. Disabled the Steam overlay
9. Disabled the Discord overlay
10. Verified the files through Steam
11. Tried opening Starbound in 32 bit

I guess I've made some progress. At first, Starbound would only open in the minimized little window, it would be all white, and I'd hear the chuckle but nothing else. Now, when I go to run it, it's full screen, and I hear the chuckle and the music starts -- if I move the mouse around I hear it "clicking" on things although I can't see what they are -- the screen has a white square and a black background. Nothing else happens though. I'm so sad. Please help?

Here is my latest Starbound log:
