Developer Wade Posted February 28, 2013 Developer Share Posted February 28, 2013 If the Uninstall\Reinstall doesn't work, can you please post the contents of your "log.txt" file at "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\dont_starve\bin"?It might give us some insight as to what the issue is..Thanks!

Ambriel Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share Posted March 1, 2013 Thank you for your answer.

Developer Wade Posted March 1, 2013 Developer Share Posted March 1, 2013 May I ask what your system specs are?Looking at the log file, the game is being killed for some reason almost as soon as it starts. Can you try deleting your "settings.ini" file at "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\dont_starve\"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambriel Posted March 2, 2013 Author Share Posted March 2, 2013 (edited) My system is windows 7 (if it is the question)I deleted "settings" but that didn't worked (it appears again when I try to start the game)EDIT : well... we found the problem -__-I changed the graphic processor recently, to launch the game with my real graphic card (nvidia) (it launchedby default with the integrated graphics). When I put back the game with my motherboad, the game launchs correctly... Edited March 2, 2013 by Ambriel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer Wade Posted March 4, 2013 Developer Share Posted March 4, 2013 Yeah, the game really doesn't like integrated cards. :)Glad to hear you figured it out though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerkaDirk Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 This is absolutely ridiculous... I JUST bought this brand new asus computer 800+ dollars. radeon amd graphics card 7000 series, windows 8, 6 gigs ram and dual core processor. how in the hell is this game not running anymore... IT WORKED for a week straight then just crapped out on me. Hasn't worked for 3 weeks. so will I ever be able to PLAY the game I purchased or do I twiddle my thumbs while you rob me?

PerkaDirk Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 OH and I JUST made this account, due to the fact that I have been searching for a fix ALL over your website and steams. Not to mention the sheer waiting weeks for it to be "updated/fixed" If i can play DOTA 2 with ZERO lag, why does Don't Starve not even load up...

Ambriel Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 Yeah, the game really doesn't like integrated cards.Glad to hear you figured it out though.In fact, it works only with my integrated card (that's the graphic card wich is not for video games and stuff, right ?)

PerkaDirk Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Ill bite, this windows 8 computer is a bastard to use so if you have a step by step on what I need to do I am all ears. I am willing to try anything I love this game and it not working makes me want to shoot people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A black screen when trying to start up the game?I'm not sure why it would be running initially, and then suddenly getting the black screen.Can you try deleting your "settings.ini" file and see if that makes a difference?
