Game doesn't start

Can you please share more information? Does the crash start to occur lately or did you experience it even before? Is it related to update of the game to v197.181 or did this version worked for you after update? Are you still experiencing it, or was it some one time issue?

I haven't played for a while so i don't know since when it doesn't worked. But I'm sure that it was an older version than v197.181.

Can you try to verify integrity of game files through Steam - right click on SE in your library - Properties - Local Files?

I already did this before writing in this forum - there where no errors.

If this won´t help you, please try to delete SpaceEngineers.cfg file and/or SharedCache folder. You can find those in Roaming folder - you can access your this folder 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 didn't work.

If none of solutions written above would work, next thing I would recommend is to back up your whole Space Engineers Roaming folder (especially saves and mods folders) and delete it. This folder will be created anew upon next start of the game with all data in it fresh.

It didn't work.

You can also try to restart Steam, reinstall VC Redist 2017, update graphic drivers, reinstall the game, make sure your operating system is fully updated.

After reinstalling VC Redist x64 from here:

https://support.microsoft.com/de-de/topic/aktuelle-unterst%C3%BCtzte-downloads-f%C3%BCr-visual-c-2647da03-1eea-4433-9aff-95f26a218cc0

and deleting the SE-Roaming folder, I restarted the game and got a blackscreen. After starting it the secound timei got to the screen in the attachement. After waiting a few secounds the game crashes again (if i press the OK-button nothing happens). After this crash the screen is always black after restarting the game again.

My operatingsystem (WIN10) is up to date and my graphics driver is also the newest Version.

So I put you my hardware configuration into the attachements, maybe it helps. If not I might have to wait for a bigger patch and hope the best.

Hello, Moritz,

sorry it took this long to reply, but... I got some more possible workarounds solution tips from my colleague.

After you try it once more, and when crash happens, can you run "Windows Event Viewer"? Can you copy the log from this as well and drop it here? It´s possible it will be problem with kernellbase.dll pointing towards corrupted windows account. In this case, the issue shall be gone for you if you will run the game from new windows user that has fresh data and libraries.

You can also try to add parameter (-skipintro) in Steam - SE - Properties - General - Launch Options.

This is working for some players.

Another possible workaround working for some is this: locate your ":\Steam\SteamApps\common\SpaceEngineers\Content\Videos" folder and either delete it completely, or rename the "Videos" folder.

Hope some of these works and the game stops to crash for you.

Please let me know.

Setting the launch Option -skipintro didn't work.

Renaming the video-folder was a success. Thanks for you help. You can close the ticket now.

Hi, Moritz,

thanks for confirming. Will close this thread.
