[Major update 1.203.505] Game won't launch: Exception occurred: System.TypeInitializationException,
have done so far:
- updated GFX driver
- updated .NET Framework to 4.8.9181.0
- verified games files
- ran sfc /scannow
- deleted SpaceEngineers.cfg
- deleted Video folder
- deleted Shader folder
- set startup option to -skipintro
- deleted entire %appdata%/SpaceEngineers folder
- verified files again to reinstall
- restored SpaceEngineers.cfg because it won't create a new one when it is missing
The result is always the same with 3 major exceptions:
- System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'GameAnalyticsSDK.Net.Logging.GALogger" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://%27GameAnalyticsSDK.Net.Logging.GALogger%27">'GameAnalyticsSDK.Net.Logging.GALogger' threw an exception
- System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException: Configuration system failed to initialize
- System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException: Unrecognized configuration section runtime. (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\SpaceEngineers\Bin64\SpaceEngineers.exe.Config line 3)

I have the same bug
I also ran CHKDSK:
"Windows has scanned the file system and found no problems.
No further action is required."
Then I unistalled the game completely and deleted the Space Engineers folder in Roaming.
Restarted Steam. Installed the game again.
The game downloaded but then it stopped at updating.

Then I cleared the Steam download cache, which restarts Steam.
Then I verfied the game files again.
After it finished I started the game and got the exact same crash and error log as above.

Then I verfied the game files again.
After it finished I started the game and got the exact same crash and error log as above.
I tried everything, even reinstalling Steam, deleting all workshop files for the app and cloud blueprints.
Then I noticed that when I verify files after the n-th time to reinstall Space Engineers a UAC dialog pops up every time since the the first time lauch after the update and asking me to install the "Microsoft Common Language Runtime native compiler" with the following program location: "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\ngen.exe install SpaceEngineers.exe /silent /nologo". Although I have never seen this I thought well if you need it now, fine I install it.
So I looked at the location and there is a "ngen.exe" and the "ngen.log" there it states at the bottom:
10/30/2023 23:19:16.735 [9584]: Command line: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\ngen.exe install SpaceEngineers.exe /silent /nologo

I also installed several other Steam Apps and games today and did not have a problem launching them.
I have spent over 5000 hours with this game and want it back! Please help! (I attached the full ngen.log)

Hello Templar,
I am sorry to hear you are experiencing crashes when playing Space Engineers. Since you have taken several steps to resolve the issue can you please try to reinstall Windows? You can follow this guide, section for clean install.
If it does not resolve your problem, please share your newest log file with me. Due to complexity of this error, please practice patience while we review it internally.
Thank you in advance.

SInce Space Engineers is the only application not working I rather not reinstall Windows as it is a huge pain in the butt - I also use the machine as my work computer. I ran DISM with restore health and it was fine. Also chckdsk before and after. No defective sectors or files.
Given that this behaviour startet right after the latest update on the first launch it is fair to assume that the problem lies with SE or Steam. A few days before the update SE was behaving normal. I would appreciate if you could escalate this issue.

Hello Templar,
since you cannot perform a clean install of Windows and you could not find any defective files, I reported the crash internally.
I am sorry for any inconvenience.

Hello Templar,
Our programmers looked into the log file and discovered that there is a section in the SpaceEngineers.exe.Config (on line 3) file that should not be there. Please download and run this repair tool.
Please let me know if it helped.

No luck.
1. Ran the repair tool
2. reinstalled .Net Framework 4.8.9195.0 and restarted PC
3. deleted SpaceEngineers.exe.CONFIG
4. deleted Roaming/SpaceEngineers folder
5. launched SE, Ngen.exe throws UAC warning, I let it install.
6. SE folder gets created, but no SpaceEngineers.cfg
7. SE hangs and stops launching
8. Crash log shows the same problems

How much more information do you need?

I found this topic related to the Protobuf assembly not found by .net:
https://github.com/protobuf-net/protobuf-net.Grpc/issues/231
Maybe that helps the devs to work around that problem.

Finally figured it out: The .Net Framework installation was missing the "machine.config" and even the "machine.config.default" in both 32bit and 64bit framework folders. After copyiing the files from an earlier system image and restart SE was working again.
Curious that even the MS .NET Framework repair tool didn't catch that.
