OK , deleted the My Games folder (again, the install created the folders and ini file but the folders were empty and ini was 0 bytes) and deleted the local files by uninstalling and verifying, Actually did it twice because the video capture didn't work the first time. Watch the beginning to see the dlc "instantly" say installed and go to the very end to see me choose play. https://1drv.ms/v/s!AqR2
Again, no issues with any other games. I still think the issue was me trying to also obtain dlc while the main program was still installing When i purge all of the folders and files per the forum post at top and the go to reinstall, it still finds something first before the rest of the files are downloaded and shows one of the two dlcs as installed. It is like the dlc data is somewhere else. I will try to capture that in a video.
I can make a video when I get home tonight, but there is not much to see. I. The steam library page, it says running next to the name of the program for about 10 seconds and then just disappears. Nothing is written to any other the folders in my documents. I have alao ran it as admin with the same result. I tried running the dx11exe and I get the same result If I run the Stardock launcher, that screen appears, but nothing happens when I choose to run
Hi Sean, I have tried everything in the post and more as I do troubleshooting for a living. The fact that someone else has the issue makes me wonder if the issue with Steam pulling the game off the site could have something to do with it? Is there a way to run it without Steam? Here is a link to my dxdiag: https://1drv.ms/t/s!AqR2ahXsF_yIgoBt2sVTuCLpL6kSOA
Yes, I have never had an issue like this. Also, the star control folder was completely deleted. It is not even running long enough to write any files to the NY games folder 😦
I just checked, and I don't have a runlog.txt. The four folders in the Star Control directory are empty :(
Thank you!
Any ideas? Is there an error log that gets written? Is there a safe mode to run it in?
I followed the instructions for the Steam purge and even reinstalled Steam, but it still will not start. It seems to keep finding the Multiverse dlc when it is getting ready to install. It is like that bit is hiding somewhere and I can't find it to delete it :(
Hi, Just downloaded Origins, but it will not start. Deleted it and redownloaded 3 times from Steam, but same issue. I started downloading the free dlc before the game was completely installed, so I am wondering if that is the issue? Is there a way to completely remove the expansions/ After I uninstall from Steam and verify the folder is completely gone, when reinstalling, it says something like "finding content already on the drive" before instal
