I bought myself an Oculus Rift, and my wife liked the look of it so much, we bought her one too. She still hasn't played much though, and the last couple of months mine's also been sitting around, connected to nothing (I've moved my desktop into the living room for my wife to use with the Rift, and ...

Well considering a VM has a helluva lot fewer drivers to deal with, I can't say I'm really surprised. The only thing I could think of to try reproducing the effect is install an older build and then update it and see what happens. It's probably a low-frequency-occurrence-type situation. I ended up r...

Well now, it looks like a Windows reset did the trick! I did a full wipe and reset, but I'm pretty sure a non-destructive reset would do the trick as well... it further cements my conviction that this is a driver, or at least a configuration issue. I'm sure the reset cleaned out a lot of garbage as ...

Well 2 out of 3 ain't bad, right? Both my Desktop and the Alienware were fixed with driver updates - Nvidia's 388 drivers on The AW, and the "Optional" Radeon 17.10.3 drives on my desktop. Again, with the crashing on the AW, I'm not particularly surprised that it was driver related. Fixing...

Now now, let's not get too hasty and start giving things away.... that's my job. It's been awhile, but I've been itching to hand out some Steam Keys again. I've fixed both the Alienware and my Desktop... the fix for two was the same.... but different. I believe there were two separate issues as well...

Well that clinches it for me.... updated to build 16299.19 and now I can't even launch the game (Same as OP). It's gotta be some sort of driver problem.

Ok, well maybe the file system is too fast ... Sorta like the ol' DOS/Windows games that need to be CPU limited to play with emulation. These drives are about 5-10x fast than regular SSDs, which are already pretty quick. It might be reading/writing data quicker than the engine can process and gettin...

Well the only way I can get it to work is if I install on the D: drive and point my saves folder to the D: drive. The only thing I can think of is it might have something to do with my C: drives on both computers being PCI-E M.2 drives... so maybe it's a drive(r) issue. I've got a new Alienware 15 R...

Are you running the latest Win10 build? I get the same results with the downloaded (full version/demo from the site) version vs the Steam install.

Well, I got it to work when I installed it on my D: drive and pointed the saves to the game folder.... I'm still messing around with it though. It happens regardless of whether or not its the steam or non-steam version in my case.

**** FURTHER TESTING **** Soooo... I downloaded the full version demo thingy (that's a technical term, of course). Got the same results, but further tinkering yielded some interesting observations. It does NOT appear to be a function of saving that locks out the tmp folder. I started the game up, an...

You should look at virtualization... build a single machine and pass your video cards through. One workstation to rule them all... :twisted: You can always sign up for the Windows 10 insider program to get the latest builds for free. There's also that workaround for upgrading by using the accessibil...

FWIW, I'm having the same/similar problem on two seperate Windows 10 machines. Here's what happens: 1. Install through Steam. 2. Launch Game (I set it to Windowed, everything else default, though I did play with the settings to no avail). 3. Create character (Lewis the Fighter, of course), use "...

Ooh, I wanna play... sorted by least silly: The Rogue Planet(oid) Lewis frantically searches for clues to find Auriealis, an orphan planetoid said to contain high technology from an ancient civilization. It's the only hope for finding a way to reverse the Sun from going red giant and swallowing Eart...

I thought I'd mention it here, since we're all gamers... but I've decided to sell my 3 year old gaming laptop that I recently performed some sweet upgrades on. It's an Asus Republic of Gamers 14" laptop that weighs just under 5.5LBS, so it's not too heavy. For me it's in the perfect range for p...
