Robert Sloth Posted March 12, 2018 So. Astroneer is broken, and rather badly at that. I had Astroneer working fine, then it refused to start so I reinstalled it. After erasing all of Astroneer's files of the face of the C: drive, (I have Astroneer from the Windows 10 store and I find a lack of articles for me) I reinstalled it and it worked. After having to go somewhere, I closed up my laptop and reopened it and it crashed, but then restarted Astroneer and it worked fine. After saving it up legitimately properly, getting into my habitat, saving, exiting to the main menu and then to the desktop, then returned home, connected to Wi-Fi, booted it up and IT DIDN'T WORK. I reinstalled it and it still doesn't work! It just flashes the title screen for 0.1 seconds and then quits to the desktop. Please help. Maybe @Wyvyrias could help! Crash Data: Windows 10 Home Dell Inspiron 15 3567 5.87 GB RAM 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-7100U CPU @ 2.40GHz Alright, that's probably enough for the devs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SecretGman Posted March 12, 2018 I've been having this same problem for about a week. I have asked in the FB forums and there have been no explanations. The only way I can play 2 days in a row now is to reinstall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robert Sloth Posted March 13, 2018 Dang, @SecretGman! Did Astroneer work after you reinstalled it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SecretGman Posted March 13, 2018 Yes, it works fine when I reinstall, until the next time I go to use it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CuriousCabbit Posted March 13, 2018 Did you also delete the config files within C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Local\Astro\Saved as the config can sometimes cause the problems You can also check the log files stored in \Logs to see if anything stands out when it fails to run Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robert Sloth Posted March 13, 2018 Woo-hoo! So much help! Thanks, all! I'll try your strategies! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I use the UWP Astroneer, not the Steam Astroneer. Thanks for the reply, though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Colin OKeefe Posted March 14, 2018 I'm having the same problem. Microsoft Store UWP version. Uninstall/Reinstall works for one time use only. App repair does not work. App crashes after 1 second. Updated video drivers (Radeon Adrenalin 18.3.2), fully up current on all Windows updates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Colin OKeefe Posted March 14, 2018 To follow-up on previous post.

Forgetaboutme Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) Same here. After trying to start the game an error message pops up saying that the application can't be started. Microsoft Store is displaying a notification that the game was causing issues and has to be repaired/reinstalled for solving those. Neither repairing/reinstalling nor deleting the application and doing a clean install was working for me unfortunately. But the game is working just fine via steam, on the same pc.

SecretGman Posted March 14, 2018 OK, new development. Two days ago I started from a fresh install but I did not change the default from windowed mode. I only changed some of the graphics and autorun setting. I haven't had to reinstall since then so that's a possible fix and a possible issue. Hope that helps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VolatileElixir Posted March 15, 2018 I'm going to echo the GMan with a new development as well. I have not played since 3/11 - I started the game from the Windows menu and it loaded right up as intended. I have done nothing to the system, not even a restart. I will continue to monitor this.

Robert Sloth Posted March 15, 2018 Thanks, @SecretGman! What autorun setting are you talking about? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SecretGman Posted March 15, 2018 Maybe auto sprint would have been a better word Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
