game wont start

[9009]

everytime i try launching the game it'll do its thing on steam but nothing really happens and it'll just say syncing and go back to having the green launch button like nothing happened

same thing happend on the demo until i changed it to the classic version then it worked fine

i already tried changing the versions deleting stuff
restarting my pc, redownloading, validating the files and such but nothing changed

so now im just stuck here with a game i cant play

[9009]

i also do not have any mods installed

debug text thingy :
[1027/143413.008:ERROR:settings.cc(325)] Settings version is not 1
[1103/012614.249:ERROR:settings.cc(325)] Settings version is not 1
[1103/165357.227:ERROR:settings.cc(325)] Settings version is not 1

[CptnRedstone]

Where's that debug text coming from?

Does the game create any log files? They should theoretically be at "%userprofile%/Saved Games/Cosmoteer/[steam ID]/Logs". If not, check to see if Event Viewer has any application errors listed.

[9009]

the debug thingy was from the games file, i just went there from steam and it was the first thing there

i cant find the logs , all i found was this :

this is pretty much the closest thing i could find
F:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\488502589\799600

i dont know how to find the userprofiles and when i try to search for it nothing comes up on my file explorer, same for the other guides i searched on google

[9009]

could you try providing the full path to the logs instead?
like this : C:\Program Files (x86)/Battle.net
or if that was the full thing then, yeah theres nothing

Mine looks like (Yours will have a different name than Paradox and a different Numbered folder too, which I bolded):
C:\Users\Paradox\Saved Games\Cosmoteer\86753098675309\Logs

If you can't find it that way, then just go into the game, make a new creative game. Click on Ship Library then click the hamburger menu and click "Open Folder" and the game will take you to a subfolder (Saved Ships) in the numbered folder. Back out to the numbered folder and go into the Logs folder. Forgot you couldn't get in the game, lol.

In that numbered folder you should find a few folders and a settings.rules file.
Logs
Lost Ships
Mods
Saved Games
Saved Ships
Screenshots
settings.rules

i went into the demo ,classic version and got into the logs folder from there

but the logs are for the demo version instead, though everything else in the folder lined up with what you listed

Maybe the paid version i tried starting up didnt generate any logs?

pretty much the paid version when i try launching it just goes from
launching - selecting to run in with mods dev mode etc then the button turns blue with the stop thingy then syncing for a split second and the button going green and back to launch

cosmoteer doesnt pop up in task manager nor does a window for the game come up
maybe it's a problem with steam instead, but other game launches fine though

Probably more associated with your system than the game. As a simple search has led to a lot of people on a lot of games discussing it.

Here's a couple just from steam, there are tons. The solutions probably vary by system. So, good luck on finding it. I can't help you.

As far as troubleshooting goes. I'd start with the easier ones first and then move up to the more annoying ones, if they fail.

I highly doubt you've tried them all as there are a ridiculous number of things you can do and check.

If you want to just refund it, that's up to you, but because this is a system problem and not a game problem, it'll probably crop up again at some point. Maybe someone else will be more equipped to help you or you'll figure it out on your own. Good luck.

update: i fixed it by just buying a new pc
