Hi @Ihumanshield

 

Looking at the DXDiag your system doesn't meet the minimum system requirements - the game need 256M of dedicated graphics memory, your system has 96. 

 

You could try running in netbook mode (by going to the settings.ini file in Documents/Klei/DoNotStarveTogether and changing the line 'netbook_mode = false' to 'netbook_mode = true') but I can't guarantee that'll make it work.

it didn`t work ;-; ... but i guess i know the (obvious) problem. My sister ask me to instaill one game that she likes plus an DLC in my computer some time ago, and they are kind of agressive to my memory (one simulator game, i dont want to make advertising) . It can be kind of obvious, but i have to ask, if i uninstall some of this games, i could be able to play DST again without netbook mode?

 

@Ihumanshield,

 

No.  Deleting games will only restore storage/hard drive space, not video memory. 

 

This does look exactly like the bug that a number of other people are experiencing, though, assuming you were able to play the game last time you had it installed:

Hi @Ihumanshield

 

It's hard to say. Given that the your system doesn't run the minspecs it's surprising it ran in the first place. 

 

However, your crash does indeed match a crash we've been seeing on other systems, and which we are investigating, so maybe a fix to that *may* allow it to run on your system as well....hard to say.
