[RESOLVED]Game persistently freezing on start up.
Hello!
I'm hoping someone could help me out with an issue of fixing my Starbound since it won't really start up as it keeps on freezing once the chucklefish logo laughs, or just appears by smiling.

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/386223939925442565/481573552534061056/Problem.PNG

I use a Alienware 15 R2 Intel Core i7-6700HQ X4 2.6GHz 16GB 1TB 15.6" to play.

I've already tried:
-Backing up game files
-Deleting my entire Starbound directory locally from the folder and uninstalled later through Steam and reinstalled.
-Veririfying integrity of game files.

Nothing of the above worked after several attempts, is there any way of fixing this?

Please let me know!

Thank you!

mod conflict?

I have no mods installed.

I've tried launching it again but it froze up as soon as the main menu loaded.

I've also previously waited for the game to load, I waited 15 minutes and it didn't load.

Looking up more solutions, some people say it may be the result of corrupted character/world data, but you just said you already deleted those and verified.

Somone else said to restart your computer.

Somthing that would help the more technically adept find the problem: do you have the starbound.log in 'storage' folder?

Also, somone suggested running steam in admin, and then possibly starbound in admin. maybe try disabling steam overlay? right now, thats all i can really find. that log file would be great to have.

I have 5 starbound logs, is that normal?
Shoju-Zoroark Aug 21, 2018 @ 3:23pm 
I've even restarted my comp too, it didn't work.
Hobocop Aug 21, 2018 @ 3:37pm 
it is, but the one people want to see is the text file
Hobocop Aug 21, 2018 @ 4:47pm 
so... yeah. the text file that is called 'starbound' should be it.

Go into "Steam\steamapps\common\Starbound\_CommonRedist\vcredist\2015" and install both of those. Also try both versions of the game, 64 and 32.

Alright
Shoju-Zoroark Aug 21, 2018 @ 5:31pm 
And uh, what might you mean by both of those, Mochi?

Both installers. x64 and x86
Shoju-Zoroark Aug 21, 2018 @ 7:47pm 
Alright I'll try that.
