    First off, I play the unstable version of Starbound, and only this one isn't launching, the other one is totally fine.

    Second, I play with the mod Frackin' Universe, which I had played for 2-3 days with and had been totally fine (I tried removing the mod from the folders and then start the game but it didn't worked neither)

    Third, when I try to launch it, it does the little steam message "Preparation to launch starbound - unstable" (translated from frencg by me so it could be not 100% accurate)

    And that's it. So if someone could help me / tell me that the unstable version is off for a couple of days because of whatever update coming soon (that would be so nice :D), I would appreciate that

    Thanks for your help

    PS : I'm canadian-french, so my english could be bad :v sorry in advance!

    Please attach your starbound.log located in the storage folder of your starbound install.

    You can attach a file to your post by clicking on the "upload a file" button. When browsing to the storage folder in the newly opened window it should show you the right file. It is probably named "starbound" because your OS hides known file extensions and .log is one of them.

    I need the file itself and not a screenshot of it.

    edit: according to the shown part of the log the game is working.

    Is this the log of your unstable starbound or the normal starbound. The log does not show any errors at all.
    Following issues could be possible atm:
    • wrong log attached (stable instead of unstable)
    • file is write protected (means you need to change the permissions)
    • sth else is failing with either steam or your OS

    I assume you attached the stable log instead of unstable here.

    I don't think I did that, because I never touched these before, but I'll try, and thanks for your help!

    Exchanging them did nothing :/

    Exchanging what? :eek:

    If you attached the wrong log please attach the right one. Otherwise it's impossible to help you :c

    Please attach the logs from the storage folder. "giraffe_storage" is an old early access storage and doesn't contain anything useful anymore. Basically you can delete the giraffe_storage folder anyways.

    Okay that's an odd one. Your unstable is requesting a quit during loading but without any error. Not a normal behaviour though but also no error which can help finding out the cause.
    Either the quit request comes with steam or sth in your OS is preventing the unstable one to be launched. You could try launching without steam to find out if it is steam related though.

    Nah it was neither disturbing or useless ^-^ You had a problem and asked for support. :)

    I am closing this since the issue is resolved.
