Closed Post here if you are an XP user crashing at Chucklefish logo.

Yea lol it's not that it doesn't load it's that it crashes... and then it doesn't load
AKA broken

 

if your crashing then that is dif prob this topic is about the hang and never ending loading

also if your car turns on and u can drive it but u just never get to your detestation lol is that really broken or just in need of a tweek to get u unlost

aka its loading the game just in a state were your hdd is not actove and it just hangs its loading just laoding a hole not a nuffen THE POINT IS ITS GOING TO BE RECTIFIED AND THE DEVS KNOWS ABOUT IT

 

Well I got it running on ubuntu 12.04 (64bit) I'm thinking that the game doesn't like 32bit environments, never thought I would see the day a game would run in linux and not windows 0.o

 

Really? ... I thought it was the same thing...
Whoops

 

Yeah, I'm getting an indefinite hangup on the Chucklefish Logo screen too.

No amount of waiting resolves it - I've waited in excess of 20 minutes. I'm on Windows XP. In case it helps, here's the contents of my Starbound.log file.

Code:

This occurs regardless of the OpenGL or standard version. I have disabled and re-enabled Steam Overlay, and it doesn't help either way.

 

posting.

 

From what I understand, even for non-xp users, the game hangs for quite a bit on the logo; That might be what he's talking about.

 

It is the same thing. That person is arguing semantics. If it doesn't work like it's supposed to, it is broken. If it doesn't work at all, it's also broken.

 

The new update does not fix our issue

 

Honestly don't expect this to be fixed any time in the next few weeks, purely based of past "delays" and well the general way this Industry works. shame really really wanted to play this today/night.

 

^
Well, seems like im sticking with terraria for a while...

 

Dwarf fortress, Gnomoria and other indie games that work even in Alpha/Beta for me

 

same issue as everyone else. I dont know what could be causing it.. I'm almost tempted to spend 100+ dollars and upgrade to windows 8 JUST to see if it works.
that would at least confirm that its not my PC thats the reason it wont work. and that it is for sure XP.

 

Finally, after like three hours of playing around. It does work in Linux, with a 32-bit Ubuntu install.

 

On XP SP3 with the problem, patch doesn't seem to have done anything.

 

BEHOLD! i too have the freeze at the chuckling fish.
windows xp. SP3. etc etc. NVidia card.

log always seems to show it stopping in the same place.

so.
hope this gets fixed soon, because i can NOT afford a system upgrade yet.

 

Ughhhh.... How long did it take you to download and then get Ubuntu up and running?

 

the official system requirements on Steam all say windows xp, so there'll definitely be either a patch coming soon or a chance to get a refund if it turns out it doesn't work on XP

 

well I'm happy they acknowledge it and are trying to fix this
if they just pushed it back then i would be a little ticked

 

Any chance they put out another update tonight?
