Game doesnt start properly

[Pinhead Larry]

When I start the game I get a blackscreen and the game closes again.
I already installed it twice....

I don't even have that. xD
I have the movie wallpaper for around 3-5 seconds, then black, then crash. An I'm trying to fix this for nearly two days now.

Have you been able to start it? Because I start to get really frustrated since literally nothing seems to work, not even all the things recommended in some other discussions.

Hope they´ll fix it before vacation ^^

Okay, that's wierd. Anyway I'm still none the wiser and trying anything here but I'm happy for you. Have fun. :)

Still doesn`t work. In the beginning it says, that can not connect to the Star Wars The Force Awakens server. My network connection is fine.

How can I connect with Steam`s support or something?

Hi, I know how to fix this for PC players. Once out of the game, press the windows key (mine is on the left of the keyboard inbetween Fn and ALT), and R. Run box should open. Type in %appdata% and click on Browse. Look for Appdata folder. Go into this and then Roaming folder. Go to Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment folder. Go to Lego Star Wars, then find GUI3 and rename this to GUI3_Backup and this should fix everything. You can use the game offline. Anytime you go online and want to play offline you will need to do this steps again. If playing offline all the time you will only have to do this fix once. Restart your computer before playing the game. All the best.

Could You specify where I can find it? I have got a COOKIE and a CACHEDSHADERS folder but I can't see such a file anywhere. I have got all of the appdata visible of course.

Same here. Got them in the other LEGO game folders, but not in TFA.

I dont even get the runbox to open... tried with both win-keys...

I have the same problem: http://imgur.com/W7XIYHl
the pic I show here is the highest point the game went before crashing, after this disclaimer screen, I got a black screen and then the game crashed.

PS: I already tried to change the resolution in PCCONFIG, and didn't found GUI3 as many of you. That's really annoying, as I bought the game just 2 or three days ago, and I didn't even started playing it due to this crashes (yeah, I tried to launch it several times)

This worked for me, thanks! Almost thought this was secretly an always online game.
