Describe your issue

So my Dont Starve used to work perfectly, with no problem. I had no mods active, last time i logged off. And at one point i attempt to launch Dont starve and it instantly crashed, ever since then it will never launch. ive tried re-running the drivers, ive verified game integrity cache, ive reinstalled the game, ive deleted the mod folders, ive deleted all the folders and re-downloaded them and nothing has worked so far and i know my pc specs are beyond the requirement, especially since i was able to run it flawlessly before.

So after looking at bug posts similar to this i found out that they ended up being sent off for refunds, but i love dont starve too much for that and i did some things myself, turns out the only way that ive discovered to fix my issue is to literally reinstall windows.

Hmm, you shouldn't have had to re-install Windows unless there were some bad drivers installed that were not compatible.

 

The re-install solved the issue though?

Yes the reinstall solved the issue, i did reinstall the drivers that were in the files and still no fix, so i figure it might be a driver that wanst within the instillation of DS. nevertheless i needed to upgrade to Win7 64bit anyway. if i knew what driver was corrupted i would tell you but sadly i didnt look that far.

I still have the dx diag doc saved from my old version of windows if you are interested

EDIT: actually, its when i had reinstalled windows. my bad :C
