Can't start the game

[heartlesshound]

I've had it installed for a while but hadn't played in a while. I just went to start it and got a pop up saying encountered an error. I uninstalled and reinstalled, tried to play again and got the same error. Anyone else encountering this?

Edit: Looks like it's a memory issue going by the error log. I've quit everything but the steam client and I'm still getting the error :(

I do not know if it is somehow related, but my game crashed on "save&exit" destroying save file and now when I click either vault select or enter vault game crashes immediately. Files validate just fine. This is second computer this happens btw...

I'm having the same problem. Hope someone can help on what to do.

Update: I loaded it fine last night, also played fine this morning. Played a couple of hours of Wow, came back to check on my vaults and getting the error again. Restarted laptop, still happening. This is so weird.

Hello heartlesshound, was you able to solve the issue ?
I have the same issue since a while and I can't start it

Nope, sorry. I have submitted a ticket to Bethesda. I tried using the Bethesda Launcher to start the game and I got the same error so it's 100% not just a Steam problem.

I'm having this issue too. Currently 2 legendary dwellers off my last achievement. Very frustrating.

I found a solution - works for me anyhow. Turns out it is Citrix causing an issue with all newer Unity games (failure to start Castle Story prompted me to search again).

I found the solution on this Unity Forum https://forum.unity.com/threads/unity-2018-2-7f1-windows-standalone-crash-on-first-run-unityplayer-dll-caused-an-access-violation.556585/

I followed pawfessor-fluff's comment regarding uninstalling the Citrix Indirect Display Adapter through device manager and now both games are working perfectly.

I can also confirm that I successfully logged on to my work pc from home just after uninstalling that component so it seems that (at least for me) it's not a vital component.

Hope this helps guys :)

EDIT: This does work however if you restart your computer you need to uninstall the Citrix Indirect Display Adapter again. My internet died last night so I couldn't confirm this but it was confirmed this morning ....

I had this problem, I have a laptop that has integrated graphics and a nvidia geforce 840m graphics card. Ever since I updated the nvidia cards driver, the game would crash on startup; so I switched back to the other one and everything's fine now. hope this helps.

Same here - no Critix installed, computer freezes each time i try run unity game. Updating drivers didn't help.

Uninstalling Citrix related stuff worked for me...
