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

Hmm same issue, freezes at logo, quaggan sad... I wish I could tweek something to get it running, my brother has windows 7 and it hangs for him but runs no problem otherwise. I'm running win xp sp3.

 

Potential fix for your resolution issue:

Go to your "SteamApps\common\Starbound\assets" folder and open "default_configuration.config" with a text editor like notepad or notepad++.

Find these lines:
"windowedResolution" : [1920, 1080],
"maximizedResolution" : [1920, 1080],
"fullscreenResolution" : [1920, 1080],


Change the "1920, 1080" to whatever your resolution is.

If that doesn't help you can launch the game in safe mode from your steam library to skip the launcher.

 

Win XP Pro SP3
Intel i7
3GB Triple channel Ram (no swap)
EVGA 280 (pulled one out to not use SLI)
Resolution 2560x1200
Just updated to vis C++ 2012 SP4 (as recommended earlier in thread)

Same as others. Have tried making the process faster and slower (cpu-burn-in) nothing works. Sever Crashes about 1 out of 4 tries, with different errors

I understand, but the waiting till now makes this very frustrating. In Beta level testing I do expect the program to start to the point of human input. This is more of an Alpha release bug.

But again is just frustration. I was planing on a server test with a bunch of remote friends in two minutes from now... uggg

 

This problem sadly makes me want to pirate Windows 7

 

Holding your windows key (the one between Ctrl and Alt on the left side of your keyboard) and pressing "D" will minimize all windows.

You're not alone.

 

Brilliant.

 

Same Here
I use Win 7

 

Having the same isssue as well, game Windows 7, 8 gigs, intel core i5. nothing happens. just the fish laughs at me

 

I am also experiencing this problem with XP 32 bit

 

Not sure if I heard it right, but listening to the live stream someone mentioned that 32bit systems are just going to have to wait for the time being as there is no workaround. Could be wrong though....

 

Win XP SP3
Should I try to run it in Win 95 Mode ?

 

If this is true, they should update the steam page to let people know.

 

Part of me thinks this could be a good idea yet.... eh.....

 

Having the exact same issue!

Decided to try this before I posted. Now nothing comes up at all. But the program is running in teh background according to task manager.

 

Using Windows 7 and when I boot up the game and reach the Chucklefish logo it laughs and never progresses.

 

Seem to be getting the same error here. It's a shame, I hope it will be fixed soon.

 

well that answered that before I tryed it.

 

I just heard on stream that it`s problem because this root file is pretty big and with old hdd or antivirus in background it can take really long time to unpack it, and it will be fixed after they change file system to pack or pak (don`t know how to call it, they said just 'pak').
