Rimworld Crashing at startup [FIXED]

[kilikamyst]

My Rimworld keeps crashing at startup and the unity crash report isn't being generate. I've tried reinstalling, verifying game file integrity, restarting computer, manually removing all game files and nothing has worked.

The unity crash report UI shows up for half a second, then closes. Im not sure why this is happening.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

[FIXED FOR ME]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After another couple of launches. This problem might be related to my dual monitor set up. I have a laptop as my computer and secondary screen. But i use another monitor as my main display.

If i try to launch the game on my monitor, the game crashes. But if i launch the game on my laptop screen, the game will launch successfully.

What I did after that, if put the game into windowed mode, and transferred the window to my monitor, and returned it to full screen.

Now that game will launch on my main monitor, but it will launch in an odd 1920x960 resolution.

I changed it to 1920x1080, and now the game will launch on my main monitor, no problem. Even through steam.

Hopefully this helps someone. Seems like an odd issue to have.

Thanks for the suggestion, tried turning it off and the VR option and didn't make a difference.

What about cloud saves? I know I've had issues with steam acting stupid with that as well.

Steam has a lot of backend features that can cause problems. Overlays, cloud, etc are the key ones for me.

Catching up on suggestions:

- Turning off the Overlay did not help.
- Launching from the file system also did not work
- Deleting and reinstalling did not work
- Mods have been disabled since I first had a problem (for the record, I was using Harmony, HugsLib, More Planning, and Simple Sidearms)

Since I first commented in this thread, spouse gifted me the new DLC, so not not only can I not play, I had to tell them I hadn't been able to play the thing they gifted to me!

More datas:

Runs if I run the .exe as Administrator outside of Steam.
Crash dump file from an earlier crash today contains a reference to an illegal operation.

[TEMP FIX]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I got the game running by running the .exe right from the local files. I don't know why it still isn't working through steam.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So the issue must be with the launcher not liking how steam is launching the executable.

I'm not sure how to fix this, as I feel like I've tried everything.

I've uninstalled the game, unsubscribed from all mods, deleted my AppData folder (specific to rimworld), and even reinstalled steam.

My drivers are up to date, and I am not experiencing this issue with any other game I've launched in my library.

my additional monitor hasn't working since friday, so I reconnected it to my labtop and after some meddling with setting, the game loaded successfully to main menu. but when I tried to load my save file, same problem occured again and restarting the game gives same error beforehand.

I'm not sure problem with monitor is from the game or not, but it is quite certain that recent update messed up something with graphic resolution or something.

[Akatosh]

Disconnected monitor, reinstalled graphic card driver.

Afterward, the game works properly about 10 minutes and same error happened again. restarting the game only gives the same error and game crashes again before main menu shows up.

This seems like a game file issue. You may need to reinstall the game, and see if there are any incompatibilities with mods. Try it vanilla, and on a new game to see if it persists. To remove all mod dependencies you'll have to delete some files in your %appdata% folder.

The procedure for this can be found higher in this thread.

Could also be a graphics issue. I don't know, I'm just a random unqualified person on the internet.

[Akatosh]

Completely deleted previous graphic driver and installed latest version again. no problem so far during 4 hour of play. thanks for the help.

Omg you guys are right this is dumb. I had RW running fullscreen on my ultra-wide 5120-1440, and the launcher failed. So I ran it from the exe, change it to windowed mode, move it to my other monitor that's 3840x2160. Quit game, and now it loads up just fine with the steam launcher.

[Tequila Sunset]

oh my god I had this same issue and nothing was fixing it so I just turned off my other monitor and it works

You can also use Steam launch options to set the game to launch in a window or fullscreen and also set the resolution of the window this way. So you don't have to keep launching the game to change window mode, resolution, etc.
