Simple Planes not launching using Steam? (SOLVED)

47 MadOfficer999  4.3 years ago

My Simple Planes (legal copy purchased on steam) keeps crashing whenever I click the play button using Steam. The game runs fine when I run it through the executable in the Steam path though. I tried forcing Direct3D 9 and disabling addons, but it still won't launch. The settings show that I am running 1080p full screen.

My system specs:
Ryzen 7 3700x
RTX 2060 Super
16GB DDR4 3200
500GB SSD + 4TB HDD (Simple Planes is on HDD)

Output log file:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hBXpcsL_MlfCwVRNe65gdXbH3e0LZtkO/view?usp=sharing

Unity Player [version: Unity 4.6.1f1_d1db7a1b5196]

Simple Planes.exe caused an Access Violation (0xc0000005)
in module Simple Planes.exe at 0023:334b180c.

Thank you in advance. This problem has really been bothering me.

UPDATE: So anyways I reset my BOIS to Optimized Defaults and now it's working again. I have no idea why. The most likely problem is the Ryzen Master auto-overclock. Computers are confusing.

    @AndrewGarrison I had already tried that.

    After extensive google-ing over the past day or two, most people who have this problem fixed it by uninstalling "Citrix Workspace". However, I do not have "Citrix Workspace" installed, never heard of it either. I tried re-installing Visual C++ and DirectX, but to no avail.

    Please help me. I initially had this problem with Simple Planes but I realized that none of my Unity games worked. I have been trying to fix this problem for almost a week now.

    Okay, try this:

    First, back up any of your saved planes that you want to keep. They should be located here:
    %userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow\Jundroo\SimplePlanes\AircraftDesigns\

    Then, try renaming the SimplePlanes folder at this location to SimplePlanes.Backup
    %userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow\Jundroo\SimplePlanes\

    @MadOfficer999 I can launch SimplePlanes using the following options:

    1. Using steam
    2. Start menu shortcut
    3. Taskbar shortcut
    4. Desktop shortcut
    5. Opening SimplePlanes.exe in steam folder.

    My game works fine when I run it using the executable in my Steam folder, but when I click play on the Steam application it just straight up crashes and does not work. Please help me.

    @jamesPLANESii My Simple Planes crashes instantly, the second the window pops up. The window just closes.

    @PlaneFlightX So Simple Planes cannot be launched using Steam anymore? I remember that I used to be able to on my old computer.

    For me starting SP with steam takes an exceedingly long time for some reason, like, a normal game would take around 7 seconds, but sometimes SP can take 30. Idk why.
