Can't start the game

[Jakori]

I just brought the game and can't make it work, my pc is strong enough, i reinstalled and also made a firewall exception for Sea of Stars......but when i open the game, i get the picture of the 2 main chars, a sabotage logo, another logo and then the game closes.

I have no idea why this is happening, please help.

Same problem here, my pc clearly is strong enough to run it and it just crashes at launch

Open event viewer and then post the crash details here for the devs to see. I can also take a look but my guess is it is graphic driver related.

You could also try a clean uninstall and reinstall of your graphic card drivers.

You just opened event viewer and posted the crash details? Where did you post this?

Heard of google? You could easily google "Event Viewer" to find out how to open it. Are you kidding me???

Since I am feeling generous, I actually found someone that had a similar problem to you (Again with the power of google). You can try his proposed solution.

I can confirm that deleting the .dll file worked for me with PC Game Pass.
