Crashing on start

I've read the entire post here

Compatibility mode does not work (not a surprise) and I do not have a integrated graphics card to switch to.

And I went through the steps here http://support.kleientertainment.com/customer/portal/articles/1201532-game-is-crashing-game-won-t-start with no luck.

Here's 2 different logs. 1 thinks steam isnt running when it is and the other is just showing nothing.

[00:00:00]: PersistRootStorage is now APP:Klei//DoNotStarveTogether/
[00:00:00]: Starting Up

Steps to Reproduce
start the game



User Feedback


(can't figure out how to edit my main post) Don't Starve (main game) seems to be having an issue starting as well. It launches then hangs in the background. None of my other games are crashing so I'm certain this is a Don't Starve bug in general.

Checking your log, there is a "Steam failed to initialize" line - which means that there is an issue within the Steam Client when trying to launch the apps. Please try the following troubleshooting steps:

  • Restart your computer (effectively restarting the Steam Client as well);
  • Ensure that your Steam Client has been updated to the latest version;
  • Try disabling Steam Overlay for Don't Starve Together and/or Don't Starve;

If all fails, try re-installing Steam on your computer.
