Error - Aska Initialization Failed... - Game won't launch

[Mila Marie Rose]

When I try to launch the game I get a windows error pop up stating this and I have absoluteley no idea what it means. Tried looking it up and I don't see anything. Any help out there? Thanks.

DirectX setup has determined that a newer or equivalent version of DirectX has been installed already. No Installation is necessary.

Instead downloading it from Microsoft site, did you go in the game folder (steam>steamapps>common>Star Ocean...) and tried to install the directX from the folder there?

Just did that. It did seem to install but it did not fix the error.

pretty frustating, try all of these method still not work :\ , hope for some support by SE but i think gonna be unlikely

Aska - game engine...can't boot right at the start... denuvo detected-coincidence? Nah, don't think soooo...

Waiting 3 days for this, let's see if someone can find a fix or if devs will patch it. First time ever that I'll have to refund a game because there is no fix for an error. Not sure how SE support for games is outside of FFXIV, but from what I know from said game it tends to be atrocious and only works when a lot of people complain at the same time.

Check if there are updates for Windows. After it shows nothing, check online because Windows 7 was notorious for issues with updating and installing said updates. When in doubt, download all of the .Net and vcredist versions. Start from oldest to the newest. For vcredist google: "Microsoft The latest supported Visual C++ downloads". For .Net it's: "Download Microsoft .NET Framework".Possibly install new GPU drivers if there are any available. Try a sfc /scannow with an elevated (run as administrator) command prompt. Anything after that... well... good luck haha.

yeah just realise aska is the game engine, hopefully this case not happen for ff 15 steam version, seems the engine conflict with some of windows version as the dev probably not fully tested it. Too much effort just to play a remake game :\

There is literally no evidence to support the claim that this is a Denuvo issue.

Just to confirm, did you restart your computer after you did this? Sometimes a fresh restart after installing/uninstalling is what it needs. Not to say that I'm certain this will resolve the issue, but it's worth a shot.

I know what you wrote. You're claiming that you believe the issue is Denuvo just because you're anti-Denuvo. You follow the crowd of Denuvo haters and instead of following the logical path of determining the issue and trying to fix it you claim that any issue that crops up "might be Denuvo related" without evidence. You're no better than the people crying "Witch!" a few centuries ago anytime something happened that they didn't fully understand.

Zu-zuuum, wrong! I STRONGLY SUSPECT denuvo, coz i had problems in past with this DRM-Abomination, and not 2-3 times, and not on one machine.
By the way...you defend denuvo TOO furios...suspicios =_=

same error (((

I'm not 100% sure about this, but it seems like the game engine is failing to load. Apparently ASKA is the name of their game engine. So I don't know why it would be failing.

Edit: I just read this on an artcile on siliconera today talking about future SO games and that Aska name came up as their game engine that they use.
