Game won't launch at all, crashing on startup (SOLVED)
UPDATE: Turns out hedge mod manager is currently completely broken with frontiers, i didn't realize it but when i launched hedge mod manager to disable the mod it must've updated and cause incompatibility with frontiers. After going into HMM's settings and unchecking "enable mod loader" it worked just fine. PSA!! DISABLE YOUR MOD LOADER!!

I was happily playing the update last night, and this morning i launched the game just fine, but then i thought i should disable the one mod i had (improved draw distance) since no jukebox music notes were appearing and it didn't seem to be working anyway, so i thought disabling it would fix it. Now the game straight up won't launch, when i press play it says "running" for a few seconds and then closes without ever popping up

Things I've tried:

-Verifying the integrity of game files
-Re-enabling the mod
-Restarting Steam
-Reinstalling the game
-Restarting my PC

Same result every time

I'm running on a gaming laptop which ik isn't the best but i was able to play it just fine before, and my specs are well above recommended requirements. I used Nvidia control panel to switch from integrated graphics to my RTX on launch because the game couldn't run through integrated GPU so it's not that. Does anyone have any possible ideas

try uninstalling hedge mod manager from frontiers entirely, it should also be an option in settings

This is always the case with all games that don't have official mod support.
Whenever an the game gets an update, mods break. Sometimes a lot of them, sometimes all of them, sometimes even the mod loader itself breaks.

These mods are supported only by the community.
There is no official modding API that the game developers are promise to keep working between updates.

When the game updates, all the hacks put in place to inject stuff into the game will likely break.

Just keep an eye out for updates from modders and from the HMM team.
These things take time, but as long as people want to keep modding the game, someone will get things running again.

Have you tried making sure the game launches with the correct GPU and not integrated graphics? That caused issues for me on launch.
