Closed Starbound fails to start (regular or safemode)

I have installed Starbound to a PC with the following specs:

Windows XP SP3
2 GB RAM
intel Core 2 Duo Q6600 2.4GHz
nvidia GeForce GTS 250 1GB

When starting the game from desktop icon or the Steam "Play" button in the Starbound screen, the game loads up the "Chucklefish" logo window, but seems to stall out and stop loading.

Task Manager shows 0% CPU load on starbound.exe (or starbound_opengl.exe) at this point. No HDD access either. Game appears for all purposes frozen. No error dialoges are on the screen reporting an error.

Please advise on how I can proceed with this issue. Thank you.

Waiting seems to do it..
I have heard about 5 others having the same problem and WAITING fixs it.... Nothing more can be said.

 

Btw, Run the game in admin mode

 

Have the same problem. Windows XP SP3, Pentium Dual-Core E5200 @2.5GHz, 3GB RAM, ATI Radeon HD 4800.

Waited for a really long time (15 minutes?), game didn't start, just showed the logo, and nothing happened. When I clicked the window, I got a "not responding" message.

 

Sinds you have xp, try this close steam and add this to the shortcut run option. -forceservice

 

Didn't help. Tried running it via Steam, via the *.exe in the game folder, always waited 5+ mins. Now I"m installing the game on my laptop, gonna come back here if it won't work there either. My Starbound.log is currently:

 

It seems it has a trouble with running resolutie, (didn't even know 964 was possible) any ways...
Try the next few things.

And run the game in lower resolutie,
Go to the game in steam folder and do this,

1. Open Steam
2. Go to the "Library"
3. Right-click the game which needs to be reconfigured
4. Select "Properties" from the menu
5. Click the "Set launch options..." button
6. Remove any launch options currently shown.
7. Type -safe in the box
8. Type -startwindowed / -sw / -windowed / -window / -win one of those kinda like this -safe -window They do not apply to most third party games so I hope for the best....

 

Same issue waited for 20minutes games did not run. I also have Win XP with a AMD 4550HD 512vram

 

Thanks but none of that works

 

Really non of that worked.... Sorry That I couldn't help mate.

 

I hope you guys know this is the section about the Forums...not the game.
