BenDunno 10 Posted November 27, 2012 My game is also refusing to open since the update, and the hotfix hasn't changed anything. Doesn't even reach the menu before it crashes, no sound or anything. Log.txt shows no errors; in fact it doesn't seem to have been modified since I played this morning pre-update. Not sure what to do at this point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marak 27 Posted November 28, 2012 Yep. Game doesn't even attempt to load. "Preparing to launch Don't Starve" pops for roughly half a second, and then nothing. It just acts like I never clicked "Play" at all.Attempting to run the game manually from the install folder (W:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\dont_starve\bin, dontstarve_steam icon) gives me the following message: "This application has failed to start because dwmapi.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem."Of course, re-installing does absolutely nothing. Neither does validating the game files from within Steam.Steam version running on Windows XP service pack 3, 32-bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pioter 10 Posted November 28, 2012 Hi, I would just like to ask is this issue being worked on? Is there an ETA?The issue I am refering to is the one posted directly above by Marak Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ItchyFlea 10 Posted November 28, 2012 I believe I've found out why this is happening. I've got the same problem, so I tried starting the game manually. It gives the error that it can't start because dwmapi.dll is missing. As far as I can tell, that file belongs to Windows Vista or better. I have Windows XP.I'm guessing the update has changed the system requirements so that now Windows Vista or greater is required to play the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ItchyFlea 10 Posted November 28, 2012 (edited) Do you think that you can add only that file? Does it have other dependancies?Being a file specific to Windows Vista or newer, it would probably be a very bad idea to manually install it on Windows XP. I've got multiple computers, so I will give it a go to test it anyway.I'll edit this post with the outcome.Long story short, it can't be done. Even with that file installed, other critical Windows files need to be replaced. Edited November 28, 2012 by ItchyFlea Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sarioya 10 Posted November 28, 2012 Adding the .dll doesn't seem to work. It just gives an error (on my machine at least) that reads, "The Procedure entry point IsThreadDesktopComposited could not be located in the dynamic link library USER32.dll." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

XP already has a USER32.dll file, and who knows what Microsoft added and removed from it when they went to Vista and 7. Edited November 28, 2012 by Sarioya Mandrake is tasty.

GenHavok 10 Posted November 28, 2012 (edited) I have the exact same problem of the game not launching. Here is a log of from the game http://pastebin.com/QQEvt8sT. My friends who are using Win 7 machines have had no problems launching.I must also note that when I launched the game it went through the process of trying to install some Microsoft item then failed to do so.I tried launching again and it did the same thing. So I tried starting steam and this time it did not even bother to try to download the Microsoft item but still would not launch.Verified Integrity of files and such and still same problem.My System Config:OS:Win XP SP3 32bitMotherboard:Intel P945PVMMemory:3gb DDR2 Video Card:ATI 4550 HD 512mb DDR5PCI Express 2.0HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 80gb/7200rpm IDENote:The solution posted did not work for me.

Kevin 1,080 Posted November 28, 2012 Pioter - if that didn't work for you then you have a more obscure issue than we've seen so far. Please send your log.txt, a dxdiag, and any mdmp files from your /bin directory to dontstarve.debug@kleientertainment.comGenHavok - that log is from a previous run of the game, as it actually shows you playing through a couple of days. The MS stuff that failed to install was the directx redist, which is required for the grame to run. Try following the directions that I liked to in my last post, and tell us what happens.
