And Launching it Safemode i have very bad FPS, for instance i'll gently tap d and i'll move right for 15s
Also, doing the rename trick doesn't work.

My graphics card is a Nvidia GeForce GTX 650.

Also, my computer gets incredibly warm while playing, so I've stopped playing so I don't risk damaging my computer. Also, this is my fourth time trying to get this problem noticed. It's very serious and I don't see why my computer shouldn't be able to run this game (I have a friend who's running on a 7 year old computer with less than half the specs of mine and isn't having any problems).

Please help! I want to play and I can't! Also, I already tried the memory/rendering work-arounds and nothing helped! This needs get noticed! I'm torn apart because I can't play this awesome game!

 

I can launch the Starbound Launcher. The Launch Starbound Server button works just fine. The Launch Starbound button almost seems to not be connected to anything, because it does nothing. I can't find any way to get around the Launcher and go straight to the game either. How can I get the game to start? (Game was just auto-updated by Steam and after that, I could not open the game itself.)
Computer Info:

 

Installed the latest Nvidia drivers.
Patched the game in steam.
Set my card settings to not use multi threading for Starbound.
Gave administrator rights to the executes.
Set my firewall to allow Starbound.

If anything its worse than before. The launcher screen hangs for ages after clicking launch Starbound, the Chuckle fish logo screen stays for over a minute, and when I eventually get into the game the FPS is very bad, unplayable if there are more than 2 mobs on screen.

CPU useage goes to 100% with 75-95% ram useage constantly while the game is open.

 

Hi,
I actually fight the king of auk and I've tryed a thing, trap the OVNI in a prison of dirt, it was successfull but when i attacked him he jumped out of the prison, i think it's a bug.

 

That's because none of those things is an actual workaround or fix. It was irresponsible of Molly to post generic "Workarounds" that would not even logically apply to the situation. I see here people booting into safe mode...Why would anyone think that would make a difference? People need to get off the bad advice train. Safe mode is not going to help with this issue, that is not what safe mode is for.

 

Update your OS to OS X Mavericks, the game should load now but the menu won't show up and the Chucklefish logo hangs up for a minute.. When the starbound logo appears, simply resize the window from an edge of it. Then the menu should appear. If not then wait a minute, then try again.
By the way, I believe you goto the mac's App Store to download Mavericks..

 

The reason why the menu doesn't appears on osX seems to be because the games defaults at its max resolution (1920x1080 IIRC). I had that problem and now that I've set the game resolution at the screen's max resolution (old mac so 1280x800) and switched on fullscreen, the menu appears without trouble.

Since the games doesn't allow a remapping of the keys and I'm using an AZERTY layout, at first I had some trouble to play.
Workaround on Mac osX (maverick) : I added a QWERTY layout to the keyboard setup, switched to that one (cmd + space on my mac, can't remember if it's the default shortcut), then launched the game and everything was fixed

 

Last night I ran the game for the first time, and I had the "Launch Starbound" issue when the game doesn't launch at all.

I'm running Windows 8.1 in a laptop with a Nvidia GeForce GT 620M, and I solved the issue manually installing the

Code:

DXSETUP.exe

file located in

Code:

Steam\SteamApps\common\Starbound\_CommonRedist\DirectX\Jun2010

. It seems Steam doesn't install that when you first run the game.

I hope this helps somebody.

 

"SERVER CRASHING?!
After you started your server And closed it and tryed to start it again and it keeps crashing? Hare is a fix,
Changing "upnpPortForwarding" to false in the server.config at the assets folder seems to fix it"

Worked before Update, now does not have this option in server.config! HELP ME PLS!

OBS : My friends can not connect to my server after update*

 

UpnpPortForwarding have moved to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Starbound\assets\default_configuration.config

 

Yes, I put "False" and even then the server loads "portforwarding" I can not disable it.

 

Works on \Steam\SteamApps\common\Starbound\starbound.config change to false, server woks!

I can connect to the server ,my friends can not, all with the last update.

On latest patch (Koala) on Ubuntu Starbound will fail due to libSDL1.2 error - simply install that package - apt-get install libsdl1.2debian

 

Doesn't work for me and i have a windows 32 bit ultimate with 4gb of ram and my processor is exactly i3 Core too... everytime i start up starbound it crashes my whole computers... im really exited to play this game but i cant. Any help?

 

Starbound on first release would load up after a wait time of 45 seconds. After the update, stuck at "loading" and no error report or crash. Have no clue what is going on.

Win vista 64
6 gigs ram
Radeon 7950 latest drivers

 

Got a workaround for Logo appearing and disappearing without starting the game at all on OS X (Mavericks)

... since reinstall didn't work, I went to /Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common and deleted the Starbound Folder ... after that I was able to run the game. My char was gone, but since this is a beta, could totally live with that.

 

I have this problem too and the issue for me was the game client opens with priority set to high so opening task manager, right clicking the entry for the exe and setting it down to normal (this is a task in and of itself with how long this will take from everything running slowly) should make the game playable for you, until it crashes and you have to repeat the process all over that is :'(

 

Mine's Windows 7, perhaps the issue will be resolved when they release the next update; they're saying they've put a lot of work into the XP build.

 

The new update strands your characters onto their ships. If you try to teleport off the ship, it just teleports you back.
