ENDLESS™ Space 2 is turn-based 4X space-strategy that launches players into the space colonization age of different civilizations within the ENDLESS™ Universe. Your Vision. Their Future.
When I load the game for the first time from steam on my laptop, steam installs DirectX and the game loads up. On the screen that says Endless Space 2 (with the small white loading bar at the bottom) the bar fills up and once full after about 10 seconds the game crashes and brings up a secondary window detailing the location of the crash report file.
Steps to reproduce
Click play on steam.
Game loads.
Crashes on first loading screen.
Reproducibility
5/5
Expected behaviour
I assume (as I have never got that far) that the main title screen appears.

The crash report folder:
D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Endless Space 2\2016-11-18_223032
The exact text from the crash report:
Unity Player [version: Unity 5.4.0f3_a6d8d714de6f]
EndlessSpace2.exe caused an Access Violation (0xc0000005) in module EndlessSpace2.exe at 0033:3f236cc0.
Error occurred at 2016-11-18_223116. D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Endless Space 2\EndlessSpace2.exe, run by ethan. 61% memory in use. 6058 MB physical memory [2339 MB free]. 12114 MB paging file [8000 MB free]. 8388608 MB user address space [8386747 MB free]. Read from location 00000004 caused an access violation.
After reading the output log of the game before the crash I can see that the game is failing to load shaders as they are unsupported by the application. Also the shaders folder in the application files is empty.
Can you post your system specs from Steam-Help-System Information
However your symptoms seem to indicate you're running on an Intel GPU. Currently Intel GPUs are not supported. You can try to update your intel driver from intel.com directly. However YMMV.
