I'm trying to run it on desktop windows pc with AMD 5700 graphics card. Reinstalled the game a few times, utdated graphics card drivers, etc.

Apologies for the inconvenience, we'll look into it. Do you have Unreal Engine installed by any chance?

Edit: Also, to be on the safe side, verify integrity of your files:

[RomF@N]

Integrity check says all files are intact. I don't have Unreal Engine installed, but I've installed UE4PrereqSetup_x64 from the game's extras\redist folder.

[Vince]

1) Can you run any other Unreal 4 games if you have any in your collection?

2) Can you disable your antivirus while trying to launch the game? Mainly just to be sure and to rule it out.

3) The issue might be related to DLLs, so let's scan system files too to rule it out (it doesn't take long). Open Command Prompt (right click, run as admin), type sfc /scannow and press enter.

4) Find ColonyShipGame-Win64-Shipping.exe in the game's install folder:

...\Steam\steamapps\common\Colony Ship RPG\ColonyShipGame\Binaries\Win64

(don't confuse with ColonyShipGame. exe), right click and run as admin.

[RomF@N]

Which dlls shoud I look for with sfc?

[Vince]

Nothing in particular. The scan will either tell you that your system is fine or find some missing or corrupted files and auto repairs them.

[RomF@N]

Other Unreal 4 Games working perfect and even Colony Ship's previous_version beta branch working fine. Sfc found a bunch of corruped files, but nothing related to UE4.

[Vince]

So it's recent then? Are you able to play the beta branch version right now? As it's the same version. It would solve the problem temporarily while our programmer will try to figure out what's causing it.

[RomF@N]

Yes, beta branch works fine for me now.
