[Crash] Doesn't launch after preparing to launch on steam

[chaley]

I just recently updated all my drivers and windows update, I even upgraded my windows 8.1 to 10 cause the updates kept failing, now it's all fully updated even the .net framework and visual c++, the game just goes preparing to launch and doesn't show up, I also tried running it in a 640x480 screen resolution when I do this the game launches but just a black screen with a 640x480 space that shows my desktop, I've probably done everything I could see in steam and here, are there anymore recommendations?

Can you see any errors for the game in the Event Viewer? You can open it up by bringing up the Windows start menu and typing eventvwr. Then go into Windows Logs->Application and look for errors related to Secrets of Grindea!

Another user had a similar problem, which he managed to solve by following the steps seen in this post on Steam:

Later on in the thread it's mentioned that you should check the Secrets of Grindea installation folder for any xinput or d3dx files as well, and delete them if they exist there!

Glad to hear it worked!

Maybe you were playing on the Frontline version before and it's now set back to stable? The saves are forward compatible, but they aren't backward compatible!
