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

They've said a thousand times that this is a very buggy testing phase. What did you expect?

 

Oh, c'mon kid. It's just 2 hours since the beta started.

 

I am also experiencing the same problem.

 

Gee thanks Starbound now I can not play something I was given as a gift.

 

They've had 2 years and $2,379,166 to fix this. There's no reason to not have XP support.

 

I hope it will fix soon.

 

Where did you hear this information? I wonder why would it take longer on XP than the newer OS's?

 

This also happens to Win7 users, and from what i read XP will be supported. Chill a bit, its a BETA, not the finished product.

 

Actually, I was having that issue, and on XP, so...

Sue me later, but for now I think this issue must be addressed. And, mind you, I'm still going to buy this AND Terraria as soon as I get a job, because I love you guys.

 

I have the same problem if it can be corrected soon it will be fine.

 

Just waited for over an hour without once seeing the title screen.

 

i'm starting to feel like the Chucklefish is mocking me when I try to boot now. but on the bright side, there's no possible way this can be worse than the GTA5 Online launch, so I can wait this out for a few hours, days, and not spam it relentlessly.

 

wait! nvm! holy crap, it loaded as soon as I posted that comment. thank you Karmic Payload!

 

GTA V Online worked after a few days. This won't.

 

Just popping in to say I too have this issue.

Going to give it a couple hours and come back to it. From the sounds of the dev twitch stream they're working hard on a lot of bugs at the moment.

Yeah I'm a wee frustrated, but I know the devs are going to be even more frustrated at the moment. It's their baby and they want it to run for everyone by the sounds of it.

Good luck and have fun!

 

Would you mind saying exactly what you did to get it to load and your specs please? That would be a lot of help.

 

Firstly, I would say that I am running XP and am having the same problems. I have tried all the "solutions" and waited 20+ minutes and still never got past the logo.

That being said, I am a bit surprised at some of the reactions I'm seeing here. It is a Beta guys, problems are to be expected. Maybe they just didn't think to test it on an XP machine before release, or maybe that one did work for some reason. Yes, I'm annoyed and saddened that after the wait I still don't get to play it, but asking for refunds? Pointing out the time and money they have had and complaining over a game breaking bug in a Beta over an OS that isn't really supported anymore? Before you make these sorts of statements, can we please think on a few things.

Betas are not meant to be stable games. Don't treat them as such because so many devs these days are raising the expectations of what a Beta can do.
Bugs like these are why the Beta versions exist, so they can be found out before the full release.
By pre-purchasing to get into the Beta, you are saying "I understand the risks of Beta gaming, and want to support the dev and help build a better game for everyone."
And please, before talking about the money or time involved, tell us your experience in the area. If you have never tried to make a game, you have no idea how much time and money it takes. Try not to judge.

Ok, sorry about the rant there, feel free to be mad at me or whatever. Let's all just try to look at the brighter side of how we can help the devs make this game as awesome as we all want it to be.

 

Because you say?
