Game Crashing on Launch

[presidentpeewee]

Hi all. I wanted to play DST, but the game literally does not launch. I will try to open it from steam, and it will say that the game is launching, running, and then crash without it ever even being in my task manager. I don't think it is a steam issue either because I can open starfield just fine. For reference, I am using a 7700x/3080 computer and my client logs look like this:

Did DST used to run for you, but now it stopped? Or it never worked for you?

I haven't encountered that issue myself, but did you try uninstalling it and reinstalling the game? Verifying the files? That's what I would try for troubleshooting if that happened to me.
