Game will not launch

[Wetcrankymonkey]

So I've latched onto a few other threads recently (sorry), but I haven't been able to remedy my issue.

Issue:
Launch window opens, ticks up to 85% then crashes. I get the "ErrorReport not sent" message.

I have:
Cleared cache (several times)
verified files (several times)
uninstalled/reinstalled Steel Ocean
uninstalled/reinstalled Steam
check other Steam games (all play fine)
submitted a bug ticket

Any thoughts? Could my ISP be blocking just Steal Ocean and not anything else? It played just fine up until a week ago and I've been playing for over a year now.

Just wondering if anyone has had this exact scenario?

Wetcrankymonkey,

Sorry.

If you have tried all the trouble shooting steps I list, then I do not know what more to do.

Your last hope is to send in an email request for support.

What is the email address for that again?

[Elder_Lee]

Sukhoi,

That can be found in the pinned post "Steel Ocean Links" but here it is:

just a thought !!

Yea, I've checked and it is still an allowed app.

I was playing over vacation, would leave it on in the "port" and come play off and on throughout the day while I did some stuff around the house. Came back after a couple hour break and it had crashed. Haven't been able to reconnect since. That's why I was wondering if my ISP blocked the app on their end? Maybe I was eating up too much bandwidth just idling in Port? ;)

Still won't start up. I've chased down error reports in Windows and nothing that should effect it. Everything else still works fine. I'm stumped.

No one else has experienced this??

Also no reply yet from bug report.

There a couple of specific combinations that require a change in the properties,I have discovered helping friends,especially mixing Nvidia with an AMD motherboard .


Leave the specs for your machine here and I'll get a better idea of your problem !

Hey Punkchef, everything should be in harmony...but in the spirit of turing over every rock.

BM: Gigabyte Z97X-UD3H-BK
CPU: i5-4590
16 GB Ram
GPU: GTX 970 G1 (SLI)
WIN 10
Drivers up to date
Comcast ISP

I even tried to track down if some WIN or driver update occured about the time of the issue. Nothing I can find. It just worked.....then didn't.

having exactly the same problem - given i sank Elder Lee yesterday I have to assume he's taken steps to prevent me doing the same again ;)

[Takeda]

Quick update - my SO refused to launch 4 times citing failure to report problem. I checked the game cache but was assured that all files were fine. I then wondered if it was Steam as it had "hiccuped" in launch just after i started my PC.

Rebooted PC, gave it time to synch happily before launching Steam (nothing outside of virus pro launches automatically on my PC) then tried SO again - which is now running.

I wonder if Steam retains something akin to TSRs when it has its own problems which then adversly impact on SO. Hope it helps.

Hmm, I checked all the C++ files and they were all last installed weeks or months before the crash. I had been playing every day for over a week when it occured. Could something have crept up within them that caused the error?

Takeda...glad you have a solution! My reinstall of steam didn't resolve similarly to yours.
