    First time I launched it this happened: i imgur com F8xEJff png (sorry for weird link but for unknown reason I can't post links)
    Now the game is just exiting without any message. Help! Here's comparison between my system and Starbound requirements:

    Minimum:
    OS: Windows XP or later (I have XP - requirement meet)
    Processor: Core 2 Duo (I have it - requirement meet)
    Memory: 2 GB RAM (I have 3GB - requirement meet)
    Graphics: 256 MB graphics memory and directx 9.0c compatible gpu (I have it - requirement meet)
    DirectX: Version 9.0c (I have it - requirement meet)
    Network: Broadband Internet connection (I have it - requirement meet)
    Hard Drive: 3 GB available space (I have much more - requirement meet)

    Recommended:
    OS: Windows XP or later ( -||- requirement meet)
    Processor: Core i3 (don't have it)
    Memory: 4 GB RAM (don't have it)
    Graphics: Discrete GPU capable of directx 9.0c (probably have it)
    DirectX: Version 9.0c ( -||- requirement meet)
    Network: Broadband Internet connection ( -||- requirement meet)
    Hard Drive: 4 GB available space ( -||- requirement meet)

    Also here is Starbound Diagnostic result:

    Scanning System

    Scanning checksums...
    No baseline found, creating.
    done.

    Number of processors: 2
    Processor architecture: x86
    Processor: x86 Family 6 Model 15 Stepping 11, GenuineIntel
    ProcessAffinityMask: 00000003
    SystemAffinityMask: 00000003
    WindowsVersion: 5.1.2600 Dodatek Service Pack 3
    Windows XP detected, it is recommended to use a more recent version of windows.

    EnvAppId:

    Starbound is running in compatibility mode.
    Running starbound in compatbility mode can cause stability and performance problems.
    community playstarbound com index.php?threads sbdiagnose-faq 52470

    Done.
     
  2. If this is the first time running nightly, read the stickies -> Delete Starbound.config.
    I will never understand why people find it that hard to do. There are threads about the same issue on a daily basis!

    Otherwise, post your log.

    Posting an image of the runtime error is kinda useless because this one shows up whenever starbound crashes. To post the log go to your steam folder where the games are installed. (usually: C:\Program Files\steam\steamapps\common). Then go into your starbound folder and there you will find a file called starbound.log. Open it in a text viewer, copy it's contents and post them here in a spoiler tag.

    I posted it 12 minutes before your post :p
     
  6. So have you deleted starbound.config already? Might as well delete your universe folder while you're at it

    Yes I removed config, but it is still not working. It didn't created universe foldder. Now I get this message: [​IMG]
     
  8. Did any version of starbound work before?

    Type dxdiag

    You have to delete config + universe + PLAYER folder.
    The nightly is not for anyone wishing to keep characters around for more than a day. Each new update you are stuck having to delete the player folder normally. I have backed out due to this. Waiting for that stable update that is suppose to happen soon.

    So make sure you delete the player folder and the other 2.

    I had this error every single time. Was no fun after like the 5th time lol
     
  11. It's not MEANT to play... this have been said hundreds of times. It's meant for modding and new feature previews.

    Just pointing that out. See I did not know this! I went to nightly thinking I got to play a new character with all the new additions and not have to worry about losing my character. The fact this person is posting this picture says they are new to nightly and may not know the player file will need to be deleted every update.

    Here is dxdiag result (I cenzored few informations "---"): http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=AJeYXEXX
    Before I had Unstable and old Nightly versions but I downloaded them from torrents (just to test if they work - and they worked).

    Did you launch the OpenGL version? [ appears on the launcher ]
    Seems the issue according to the error it is having trouble launching your graphics card device [ nvidia 210 ]

    You might want to wait till 1.0 though. They might be working rendering engine..
