Game Closes on Startup

[ovnxize]

So, I had the game awhile back, then I got supreme commander and kissed this game good bye. Sometimes I get triggered when that one person keeps spamming T1 units at me so now I want to play this game so I can watch an entire army perish because of the legit deathstar.

Basically what happens is the game starts up. Then it says updating active mods. In this case it is the legion expansion. After the bar goes up a little. The mouse turns into the blue circle, and the game closes. There was no pop up. it just closed. I tried to remove my mods but no sources on google helped me.

Im on windows 10 64 bit

You think I didn't check that out yet? Yes I tried to do the nomod command, and the verify game cache thing, and I did not use PAMM

If you've checked it out can you link the post you made with the relevant logs attached?

That was the first time I started after I deleted my data.

It now crashes after the intro. When you start up. Still haven't reached the menu.

[TheEffectTheCause]

you can always delete everything in the downloads folder in youruser\appdata, you will however loose the community function by mikeyh, such as community mods and community chat, a cache integrity check will fix that though

Deleting the contents of the download folder has no impact on community mods.

Please upload a full dxdiag and full client log in an Uber support forum post.

Yeah I think ill go back to SPFA. Atleast I don't have to make another account just to fix an issue because of how poorly its made.

Everything in the wiki covers the basic steps before reporting an issue:
* remove any old PAMM mods
* clear your download cache
* verify your game files
* test with --nomods
* update your drivers

Without a dxdiag and a full log file can't help much.

You can link them here or upload in the support forum.

I've done all of those except uploading. the dxdiag, but I did do the full log when I first started it up

[mikeyh]

Is this really the last thing in your log file?

[13:44:05.875] INFO Loading effects from file /shaders/impostors.json

[ovnxize]

yeah. I told you the game just closed. No pop up telling me it stopped working.

[mikeyh]

Assuming your pasted log is not truncated the failure is while loading shaders which could be a corrupted shader file or most likely an issue with your Intel HD Graphics 4000 drivers.

The driver looks really old if it's10.18.10.4425 (2014).

Latest is 15.3.3: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25977/Intel-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-15-33-?product=81499

Really need to see a full dxdiag.

Ill update my drivers and see if it works then. If it doesn't ill send the new logs and dxdiag logs and the old ones.
