[Solved] Game crashing on startup

[Terramaris]

Just bought the game and the dlc and when I go to run it, it is an instant crash to desktop. Program is open for less than a quater of a second. I validated my install, added "-show-screen-selector" to the launch options. Tried windowed/full screen on both the standard and dx9 version. No dice.

My computer stats are:

i7-4770 3.50ghz
Nvidia gtx 970
16gb RAM
64bit Windows 7

Edit:

Found the crash log: https://pastebin.com/TY3dB40j

From what I can tell the error happened here at lines 41-46:

UnloadTime: 0.559294 ms
[Steamworks.NET] SteamAPI_Init() failed. Refer to Valve's documentation or the comment above this line for more information.
 
(Filename: C:/buildslave/unity/build/artifacts/generated/common/runtime/UnityEngineDebugBindings.gen.cpp Line: 37)
 
Exception: [Steamworks.NET] SteamAPI_Init() failed.

I managed to isolate the problem. A powersurge knocked my power out (dang irma), and when I came back the game worked.

Did some more digging, turns out the error just means restart steam. If anyone is having this problem, just a simple reboot should fix it.

Good to know it worked out!
You could probably add a [Solved] to the end of the thread headline so people know there is a solution in the thread.

I'd put it at the beginning; the information that the problem is solved is more important than the description of the problem. You can do what you like, of course.

Hi Ryhorn, rather than necro-ing a SOLVED thread (and one with a very different error than what you have), I think you would have a better chance of getting attention to your issue if you start a new thread instead.
