Game fails to launch

Mike Jones shared this bug 20 days ago
Need More Information

When I click "Play" in steam, the button changes to "Cancel", then "Stop" then 2 seconds later back to "Play". There is no indication on screen from the game at all and no audible indication of it running. I have not launched SE2 before.

The steam log folder is not present so no logs are created.

In Windows Event Viewer I see the following relating to the game...

Faulting application name: SpaceEngineers2.exe, version: 2.0.2.29, time stamp: 0x68d50000
Faulting module name: KERNELBASE.dll, version: 10.0.19041.804, time stamp: 0x0e9c5eae
Exception code: 0xc0000602
Fault offset: 0x000000000010bd5c
Faulting process ID: 0x46b0
Faulting application start time: 0x01dc65c8bf21fd77
Faulting application path: F:\Games\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\SpaceEngineers2\Game2\SpaceEngineers2.exe
Faulting module path: C:\Windows\System32\KERNELBASE.dll
Report ID: 9aa2af9b-7eb8-407f-a95f-868da8c2b6c5
Faulting package full name: 
Faulting package-relative application ID: 

Attempting to launch the game directly from the exe gives the same result, nothing happens.

My System:

  • Windows 10 Enterprise 20H2 build 19042.867
  • AMD Ryzen 9 5950X - standard clock speed
  • 32 Gb DDR4 3600
  • AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT - Drivers updated last night, standard clock speed
  • Motherboard Chipset X570
  • 2 Displays, both 1920x1080 with 100% scaling.

Hello Engineers,


The lack of Game logs is quite problematic, however, it may seem that some dependencies may be corrupted / missing.

Please try to reinstall .NET Framework from here: Download .NET 9.0 Desktop Runtime (v9.0.11) - Windows x64 Installer.

You can also try to install this older version: Download .NET Framework 4.8.1 | .NET9261d2d93bbe332d4cda23e512d19cd3


Let me know if this helps.


Kind Regards,

Bartosz

this has been an issue for several people here, myself included.


there have been several suggestions made but very little success from the people plagued with it.


it all started with VS2.


if i set the game to the beta version it will let me play, but somehow the beta is behind the live version as it did not have planets at all.


whatever is causing this issue with kernelbase.dll started with these updates and as developers only you can relay what calls the game is making for this .dll and why. and only you can see the differences between VS1 and VS2.


i hope its resolved, cause it looks like a nice update, but so far i cant.

I hope this gets more attention.

We all want to play this game.

I had already tried, and I tried again now with that one, but it doesn't change, it tries to start but closes without giving any messages.

No change (game still fails to launch) after the today's hotfix. Only if this info is relevant for problem tracking.

Same here. I been trying to resolve this since the planets update with 0 luck.

I have the exact same issue and additional information.


VS1 worked fine back when it released for me with the exact same setup. The machine is the same, its the same windows config that has been running. VS2 is having this silent instant crash issue with no logs being produced.


Attempting the usual fixes of validating files, clearing the appdata SE2 folder, disabling steam overlay, running as administrator etc. did not change the behavior.

No change (game still fails to launch) after the today's Obliviara patch.

Only if this info may help for problem tracking.

It's slowly turns annoying to suddenly not be able to play a game paid for......the steam refund conditions are longest passed.....

Recently I played Derail Valley, Light up the town, Tainted Grail, Deadzone Rogue, Varthos, The last caretaker, Raodcraft, Monsters are coming, Mine Mogul. Everything I try is running except SE2.

FIX THIS CRAP ALREADY.

It would be nice to have some feedback or attention about this issue, if its being looked into.

I feel that the team may be looking into the issues that the active players have but I was only able to play the new update once on release and ever since I have not got past the launcher and many people are suffering the same issues. I feel keen would get a lot more done if EVERY player was giving them feedback on the game. And it obviously has to do with the update. please Fix I've had this problem for a while. and nothing has worked. Please at least acknowledge that there are some steps being made. and if anyone has had success fixing this please let everyone else know. logs below because i haven't submitted them yet.
