Space Engineers not loading up PC

Joshua Garbutt-St Jean shared this bug ago

Investigating

Hello, I am having an issue with my SE 1 with it not starting when i clicked normal one on steam! i notice it also wont create a new spaceengineers.cfg file like its suppose to do when installing the game, I moved the cfg file from my laptop when i use to play on that and it recognizes the file but still wont start. been trying different stuff since last week of December of last year and nothings working. i have the logfile if needed but i am all out of options on what to do at this point! I went through the discord and they sent me links and helped out with it but i have followed everything the guides said as well as i have 6 different drives and tried a fresh install on all of them and nothing is working. I can however load up and play both Space Engineers 2 and First Release perfectly fine.

I have deleted shaders and reinstalled multiple times and everything that was found on all the guides and still wont load up. also in appdat/roaming/spaceengineers, vrage file and space engineers cfg file wont install either. I was playing it fine before i bought the latest space engineers dlc, even tried uninstalling that dlc and revert to a previous version and still wont work. i can send logfile if needed as i was directed by people on discord to submit a help request for the SE 1 Programmers to take a look!

Also, i have tried moving the space engineers config and that from my old laptop as well to test and still wouldnt work.

Cheers

I have the same bug

Hello,

Thank you for the detailed description.

We’ll definitely need the latest SpaceEngineers.log to see what’s happening during startup. Please upload the newest log from:

C:\Users\<YourUserName>\AppData\Roaming\SpaceEngineers\

Also please let us know the following:

Is anything being created in that AppData\Roaming\SpaceEngineers folder at all?
Your Windows version (type winver in Start)
The CPU, GPU, and RAM that you are using
Whether you’re using any antivirus or Windows Controlled Folder Access
If you’ve verified game files via Steam (just to confirm)

Since SE2 runs fine, this is likely either a permissions/security block or an early initialization crash - the log should tell us more.

Thank you in advance.

Kind Regards
