    Every time I open it it says Fatal Exception caught. What do I do? This is what happens:

    @TheKingOfNerds
    Although it's a damn late reply but make sure all drivers are up to date and that your machine is capable to support open gl 2.0.

    @ZeroZSoda
    Please provide your starbound.log and specs.

    This is a growing problem that's affecting a lot of players. Here's what works for me: completely restarting the computer every time I want to play Starbound. It's a pain in the bollocks but at least it works.

    @Iris Blanche
    I don't know how to do that on this website it's the first time I have had to do it here

    I do know I should be able to play the game at over 60 fps

    Uhm just write whats in your machine.
    The gpu is the most interesting part here since the game fails to detect at least open gl 2.0 which either leads to insufficient hardware or wrong driver.

    Try adding starbound manually to the game list in the nvidia settings and if you have an onboard graphics card make sure it isn't selected for starbound. Also try updating your driver just in case.
