any help would be appreciated

OK this is seemingly becoming a bigger problem. I had the same problem.

first of all back you files up get your stuff saved in a location to retrieve it later! even this precaution will mean data loss but you can try best as you can with what will be saved.

when I had this problem it was when trying to play the game through steam after linking my starmade account to steam. I have since observed with others it works in reverse from acquiring the game through steam as well.

So here is what I Suggest.

first as I said above back it up if you can. simply delete the games install fully, only a fresh install will fix the issue. now try running the game either from the downloading and fresh installing the launcher from the site itself, do not go through steam. If that works, then play it without steam, as that is the only way it will.

If however, you have the opposite problem simply delete the games install fully, only a fresh install will fix the issue. then you can try and see if running it from steam will work. if neither works, then your issue may be bigger than we have found.

I tried what you said but it still won't load

It doesn't even create a log file

I'm updating my drivers to see if its that

Try installing the JDK instead of the JRE then. That should fix it.

 

[bstaples25]

okay
[DOUBLEPOST=1419371308,1419370701][/DOUBLEPOST]where would i get that from?

OK that is really odd, but my cousin had the same issue as well.

He and I both fixed it by buying the game. he bought his through steam, and immediately on doing so and installing it through steam it started working. I bought mine through the games web site. and mine works through the sites launcher alone and no other way.

So I'm guessing you may not have bought the game yet, not trying to encourage or discourage you to do so in any way. just seems that the same problem seems to go away when some are doing so, so maybe there is just something wrong with the demo version of the game. If that is the case maybe there is something either steam or something with the launcher interfering with the registry or something between both that is somehow preventing it to work.

I cannot speak for the back end of how either work, but I can warn that from the developers side, Steam is noted to install invasive DRM software on games they induct into their service. they often do this without telling the developers also, and also have legal confrontations as a result, Shceema may need to check what the hell they are doing to his game.

I think it might be connecting a steam account when you haven't brought the game yet
Switching to JDK didn't work
