game will not launch

Randall Williams shared this bug 21 months ago
Won't Fix

Hi,

I've read through the FAQ's and countless other threads online with this issue. I've tried everything short of reinstalling my OS.

I just bought the game 2 days ago and it just won't launch. It claims to be running as a process in the task manager, but it isn't, and also will not close/end task.

When 'launched' there is no black screen or other screen at all. Nothing happens.

It does however create a log file every time it tries to launch. Here is the text below.

Hello, Randall!

Sorry to hear that you are experiencing this issue.

It seems the game can't find the config (.cfg) file. If possible, could you get the config file (file name: SpaceEngineers.cfg) from a friend who also plays Space Engineers? Or, you can try SE's new/fresh installation. To do so, uninstall the game from Steam. Delete every leftover in the Roaming/SE and Steam/SE folders. Reinstall the game and try to play.

If the issue persists, could you send us the game's log, and the log from the Windows Event Viewer when experiencing this issue?

  • You can access your log files by typing %appdata% into your Windows search bar and you will be redirected to the hidden Roaming folder. After that just follow: \Roaming\SpaceEngineers.

To get the Windows Event Viewer log, please open the Event Viewer (from the start menu, type Event Viewer). In Event Viewer, go to Windows Logs, Application, and send the top “.NET Runtime” error from Application: SpaceEngineers.exe. (please see attached image).

To do this right, please follow these steps:

1) Select the correct file on the left side (Application)

2) Select first the .NET runtime error from the top (using default ordering)

3) Copy the large bottom text and send it to us.

Please Note: make sure that the info is from the Application: SpaceEngineers.exe

We are looking forward to assisting you with this issue.

Kind Regards,

Keen Software House: QA Department

Hello, Engineer!

Because there is no new comment from you, and we are unable to reproduce the issue on our own, I will close this thread now as outdated.

If you or any other player will experience this issue again, please make a new thread and provide all needed info there.

Thank you for understanding.

Kind Regards

Keen Software House: QA Department
