Crash at startup without warning

When I try to start the game, it says that I am playing the game on my icon, but after a few seconds, the icon changes back to being online

I tried installing Microsoft XNA Framework Redistributable 4.0 and Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile (Web Installer), but without avail. Tried reinstalling the game, leaving steam and restarting it. Even restarting the PC, but nothing.

I also went and checked my %APPDATA%/SecretofGrindea file, but I dont have one.

What now?

One thing you could try, for science, is to find your Secrets of Grindea install folder, place the attached file into it and then run the Secrets of Grindea-exe and see if anything changes.

The directory to the install folder should be something like {Steam}\steamapps\common\SecretsOfGrindea

It forces some changes in how Steam initializes when running the game, most notably it lets a game run in multiple instances! However, it apparently didn't help with this issue :(

This is such a ghost problem. I'm going to build in some extra diagnostics in the coming patch to at least help determine where I should be looking.

For a last resort, have you tried removing and re-downloading the game?

If that doesn't work either, which it very well might not, then I think we're both out of luck until I can get some more data on what's happening here.

I think I suggest you refund the game for now, and then when I find more info on this bug I'll update the demo as soon as I can. Then you can just download the demo to see if it's been resolved for you, instead of getting the game again!

Alright WTF

I start the game today, just because I readed somewhere the game would work and guess fucking what? the game started.

Unbelievable.

Click to expand...

By the time the game is finished I'll be able to write a proper mystery novel about this bug!

Godamnit, I shouldn't have closed the game. Now its not working again.

Also something I noticed is that the little window Steam open to announce they are starting the game doesn't appear here.

This is what I got from Event viewer, what should I Do?

Random question: have you tried running the game as an administrator? Either by running Steam itself as administrator, or right clicking the game in its folder and running that as administrator

Through some more searching I've found posts that suggest that if you download .NET 4.5 you will get this hotfix, and that the framework should be backwards compatible with .NET 4.

Out of curiosity, what OS are you running?

I'l also try the link you provided me.
My OS is Windows 7 Home Premium

Thanks for helping me find out more about this problem, btw! I've heard about it maybe 3-4 times, and most people get back to me and say it just magically started to work (like it briefly did for you)

It would be great to be able to point people to an actual fix.
