Nothing But Crashing

The game does nothing but crash. It doesn't matter what I'm doing. If IF it makes it through startup without some kind of "fatal error" it just runs for 15 or 20 minutes and then dies. That's it. It makes no difference if I'm on my ship or on a planet or moving or fighting or standing still. It doesn't matter if my inventory's open or not.

At this point, after having paid Steam $10 just so the game could be gifted to me (and everyone wonders why I hate Steam so much) only to have it do nothing but crash has me pretty much at the end of my patience. I've been playing pretty much since the beginning and I understand that when stuff's in beta it's buggy....but at this point I've spent more money than I should ever have had to just to GET the game and to have it do nothing but crash is a massive disappointment.

 

OKay. How? I can't see how to post an attachment and I'm pretty sure you don't want me to just c/p it.

 

Hopefully this is the correct way. I've never seen this format on a forum before.

I'm not running any mods. This is a fresh install that was just gifted to me over Steam (which I had to PAY to receive, not real impressed with that)

ASUS P5Q mainboard w/ Intel Core Duo E8200 CPU, Nvidia GForce GT640

 

4GB of ram in this machine, plus 1GB on the video card itself.

 

Nothing. Not even Steam.

 

Have you removed any mods recently?

 

This install is completely unmodded.

 

I did run into that issue once, its why I asked about the mods.

So you're running a completely clean vanilla install. Have you tried reinstalling?

 

Yup. A couple times.

 

Hmm, I'm really sorry to hear that. Could you pull up task manager as you play and say if anything odd happens percentage-wise when starting the game?

Do you think this line could have something to do with it? I've never seen it pop up in my log before

[14:55:04.465] [Warn] Error loading player storage metadata file, resetting: (IOException) could not open file '..\storage\player\metadata' 2

 

I can't progress any further as any attempt to deploy to the Floran mission causes immediate freeze. Also I frequently loop when teleporting and have to constantly restart to correct this.

This game is unplayable. I can't progress at all; the unstable beta ran more reliably. This needles me especially because this was a gift that I had to PAY effing Steam for in order to receive.

 

My system is more than capable of running this game. If I can play State of Decay at the highest settings with no issues, I can run this.
