    Getting the attached error when running Starbound executable (uninstalled a 2015 version, reinstalled via Steam). Error persists when launched from Windows Explorer. Running Win7 SP1, no mods. Log also attached, any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Your game does not have any assets. Reinstall starbound and you should be fine.

    Thanks for the reply - uninstalling and reinstalling from Steam provides the same error; Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Starbound\assets appears to be populated normally. Is there a flag somewhere that might cause the game to not see the assets?

    edit: on closer inspection, the date modified for some of the files is 2014 - these look like unpacked assets from an early access build I had installed. I'll try uninstalling, deleting any remaining files in a Steam folder, then reinstalling.

    edit #2: game now working as intended after older files manually deleted. Thanks for the assistance!

    Closing and marking as resolved. Reinstalling the game fixed this issue.
