Issues starting the game.

[Mirai o' Mirai]

Good afternoon, I saw the game on sale, it looked pretty neat. I bought it. Downloaded it and now it doesn't work

Staxel has failed to start. (try Staxel -> Properties -> Local Files -> Verify Integrity of Game Files...). ExitCode: 0x00

I'm getting that error. I've reinstalled the game a few times now and tried running as admin but nothing seems to work.

Hi, is perhaps a virusscanner removing that file ?

it should be in the bin folder in the game files.
if it is missing it can be restored by verifying the files https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2037-QEUH-3335

Ive tried to verify them before and nothing worked, I tried again and made sure windows defender was off before I tried again and got the same thing

In the game files, in the bin folder, is the CefSharep.Core.dll there ?

[Mirai o' Mirai]

Yes it is. This genuinely confusing and frustrating. I actually would like to play this game because it looks pretty fun, but so far the only play time I've had is trying to get it to run.

[PlukIt]

If you click on Staxel.Client.Dotnet.exe in the game files, does it run ?

[Mirai o' Mirai]

It does not. It seems to give the same error as trying to run it through steam too

Could you screen shot the properties on the CefSharp.Core.dll too, to see if the size and such matches with what we're expecting

[PlukIt]

Perhaps one of the redistributables isn't installed correctly, you can find them here https://launcher.playstaxel.com/StaxelRedistributables.exe
and https://www.dropbox.com/sh/r0iw1t7yusci2lq/AACzO2SwegHuBGlJWinEyY8Xa?dl=0

I'm not too sure what you mean by that but I took a screenshot to show it's in the file bin

Also when it brings up the issue it has an option to fix it and it seems like it redownloads something but it doesn't fix anything. But I'll check out those links you sent

[Mirai o' Mirai]

Okay that seemed to fix it. Thank you for your help. Hopefully no other issues occur

[PlukIt]

Awesome :)
