I have deleted all the data folders and reinstalled the game.
No logs show up in any folder.
I have the same bug
Hello, Anarelion,
I am sorry you are experiencing this issue. Is this the first time this happened, or was the game never working properly? Can you please try the following to at least generate a log:
Install the game again and verify your game files in Steam
-Right click on Space Engineers in Steam Library → Properties → Local Files → Verify Integrity of Game Files
Delete SpaceEngineers.cfg file
-You can access your SpaceEngineers.cfg by typing %appdata% into your Windows search bar and you will be redirected to the hidden Roaming folder. After that just follow: \Roaming\SpaceEngineers.
- It means your game configuration will be deleted
Delete ShaderCache folder
-Same access as SpaceEngineers.cfg
Back up your whole Space Engineers Roaming folder and delete it
Restart Steam
Reinstall VC Redist 2017
Update graphic drivers
Reinstall the game
Make sure your operating system is fully updated
A log file should be generated when you try to launch the game, please send it to me so that I can identify the 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.
Thank you in advance

Forgot to mention, the game used to work time ago, but it has been failing for the last few months and now I bothered to start using is again so I am doing this.

Hello, Anarelion,
have you reinstalled VC Redist 2017 completely, not only updated? I need you to at least generate the logs, because I cannot help you without them. Please try all of the things I wrote above again.
You said the game worked in the past right? Can you identify what changed since that?
Thank you in advance.

Sorry for late response, I fixed this by installing the game into another drive, for some reason, windows caches something about the assemblies tied to a specific path, uninstalling the game doesn't delete that cached information.
