[Solved] Win 10 Game Wont Start

Post by mxmissile »

I dont get anything on the screen at all when running DistantWorlds.exe, I get a spinner for a second then nothing.
I've tried the startup.ini changes. Made sure I am running the latest AMD drivers. Tried running in Windows 7 compatibility mode, tried running as administrator. Nothing is working so far.

Here is the crash dump:

Code: Select all
