Fixed Startup issue

Normally Antivirus Programs "behave" like that. When you start something (known exe changed) which the don't know or false identify them as Threat they block any kind of going further. Stupid but so they work.
But I believe that was ruled out already? (make a new exception of the new egs.exe)

 

Finaly got it working by launching the game directly with the exe instead of through steam or the launcher program. In my case this is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Empyrion - Galactic Survival\Client\Empyrion.exe

This time I got the usual complaint from my firewall and after granting permission the works and can now be launched for the launcher, the game exe. or steam with out issue.

I can honestly say I have no idea what happened here or why launching the game directly fixed things but it works now.

 

Simply solution to it - Don't trust WIN to work "appropriate" but do it yourself instead. I am sure you got blocked by the Firewall in the first place. Without telling you.

 

Same problem here.

Got through the suggested options, nothing works. All came up after 11.5 Patch. The game worked fine 36 hours ago. Updated GPU drivers and deactivated antivirus or windows defender. Same. Uninstalled, cleaned and reinstalled. Same. Launching through the expyrion.exe did not work either. Deactivated firewall and antivirus and launch through the .exe combo did not work.

Windows 10, 8 GB RAM
Version: Direct3D 11.0 [level 11.1]
Renderer: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 (ID=0x1c8d)
Vendor:
VRAM: 4031 MB



Basically here is the sequence of events :

- Launching game (via steam or directly)
- Full screen launch
- Loading
- Loading stops
- The game goes on high RAM use
- In process manager it goes from no anwser to suspended multiple times
- This pops up

- it turns to this

- Game crashes
- Unity crash handler on process manager takes on and crashes
- Window error journal turns on and writes it on.


Logs from windows errors give up this (pardon the french)

So something to do with the unityplayer.dll


Going into empyrion error files, we got this :

So, i am far from a specialist but it seems to me that something is going on when loading the shader "utilities". I updated the drivers but the problem persists. Anything new added to the terrain/utilities ?

Copying unityplayer from dedicated server to main client did nothing to solve the issue.

Hope it helps,

Have a good day,

 

Shader issue is also to be found by those Players whose Game runs normal. So that can be left out.

The other thing I noticed is that the majority of you have WIN 10 (one running Win 7).
I would suggest to try the way @Inappropriate has found and post your findings here so the Devs can follow/root out was was already tried.

 

Tried, did nothing.
If not with the shader, something with the activity of the unityplayer.dll is blocked by windows, i don't think it is by the firewall or the antivirus, seems like it is trying to get access to a secured location (Read from location 0000000000000000 caused an access violation.)

From elsewhere : The actual error is a general protection fault because the native code tries to read from an invalid memory address (specifically 0x0). I can confirm that the offending code at the current program counter is part of the Unity.exe. However it's just a method which might be called from somewhere. It's one of the parameters which are actually 0 (the RDI / edi register)

The closest i could find : https://forum.juce.com/t/solved-unity-plugin-crashes-unity/30237/13

So possibly on the dev side ?

Will see what the devs think of it.

Thanks for the reply ;-)
