Crash at startup without warning

[Alienmen1]

I tried installing it, it says the same version or a higher version is already installed...

Let me compile a super basic .NET 4 application real quick to see if you can run it. If it does, then the game is doing something weird, and if it doesn't, then .NET is acting up.

 

[Teddy]

Alright, here's a program that does nothing except start and display "hello". Try running it and see if you can see said hello!

 

[Alienmen1]

It said Hello.

 

[Teddy]

I am officially out of ideas until I can get some diagnostics going.

Let's do it like this.

If you have < 2h played, refund the game before it goes over the limit.

Then I'll just give you a key so you can get the game back, and if we get it to work, good for us!

 

[Alienmen1]

Alright, thank you.

By the way, is it normal no little steam window open when I try to open the game? Normally on any game I open in steam, there's a little window that say the game is launching.

 

[Teddy]

That does seem a bit weird actually. I'll keep that in mind, thanks

 

[Alienmen1]

I rechecked today and the little window that steam open to tell us its opening the game appeared.

Alas, the game didnt start.

Hello i have the same Problem. The game won't start via steam.

• .NET 4.5 (installed)
• XNA (installed)
• Re-Install dosnt't help
• DirectX re-install dosn't help
  
• Restart Steam, Pc and more dosn't help
• Your test file"TestNet4" say "Hello" to me
  
• Demo Works

Here is my DxDiag File :-3

(ps: i try it on Win10 and Win7 and on both machines i have this problem)

edit: Ok i Solved the Problem now ^_^
I have changed the compatibility porperties for DPI scaling than it works :-3

 

[Alienmen1]

ALRIGHT, not sure what the update did today, but I can play the game!

ITS GREAT

Hello i have the same Problem. The game won't start via steam.

Thanks for the data!

Hopefully the DPI-thingy was the issue, but I've heard this thing sort of comes and goes!

Btw, could you check in the folder "%APPDATA%/Secrets of Grindea" if there is a file named "steamerror.txt"? It would help me rule out some things to know if it's there.

ALRIGHT, not sure what the update did today, but I can play the game!

ITS GREAT

Haha, don't ever turn it off!!

Hi Teddy ^_^
I looked in the folder and no steam error file is there

 

[Dillstroyer]

Hello, I'm having the same issue launching the game via Steam. I bought the game about a week ago and it worked for a few days, but yesterday it would no longer launch on Steam. That program you uploaded says hello! to me, any ideas?

 

[Dathura]

Dillstroyer go in the installation folder rightclick the Secrets Of Grindea.exe then properties, compatibility then select "in screen resolution 640 x 480 perform" <-- direkt translation from german :-D but change the compatibility porperties for DPI scaling in this area
then click ok and try whether the game works now
