I'm also having the same problem since the latest update today. Fix Stardock?

This is an issue i'm also having. i sent the minidump file to support and told them that it instadumps. Hopefully this is something that gets resolved soon.

I was having it too. Just re-verify your game integrity.

Ok this is interesting. So it's doing it for some of us but not everyone. I decided to test this on my own as well. It works on my regular laptop but not my Alienware. Interesting. I'm trying Sillocan's suggestion of reverifying the game cache and will post whether that helps. I've also sent in a ticket to Stardock.

Revalidated game files and it's working now. Found 2 bad files apparently. If this isn't solving everyone's problem I hope Stardock can find a fix. Good luck everyone!

 

Edit: Ok cancel what I said. Apparently the revalidation reverted the game back to one of the initial builds... and it's not updating. Anyone know how to force Steam to update?

As the game is now in it's original build... I think I'll try uninstalling and reinstalling the beta and see if that will at least get it to update. (Honestly the whole reason I'm wanting to play is to try out the Advent so just having the TEC isn't really helping me much.

 

Edit: Just tried uninstalling and reinstalling and that didn't work. The game is still in the older build. Aethus how did you resolve the game being in an older build?

You can't.  You can't play Advent right now, anymore.  They reverted back to 0.62.  Too many problems.  In particular, no one could get online.  See the pinned post at the top, or other conversations about the update.

Thank you SageWon. I wondered if that was the case.

I did everything listed, and no luck what so ever, so sent in crash reports.
