The problem still persists, unfortunately. 

Can you try the --disable-ai command line launch option

@satoru: No good news.

@Kweel_Nakashyn: I don't use that product.

does your steam directory (or any directory that may show up in the game adress) contain any special letters or symbols? (doesn't hurt to ask <.<)

Nope.

I also think, if that'd be the case, the game shouldn't have started before, either.

What happens if you start in safe mode, desactivate your antivirus & firewall then launch steam & the game ?

Hmm, will test this when I'm back at my regular computer - which will take a week. :D In any case, if anyone has more ideas what to test, please post them - I'm gonna set up Win10 shortly before New Year, so that'll be the last opportunity to learn new things about this bug.

Other than a faulty hardware if what I told doesn't work, I don't know : safe mode is supposed to not load non-critical piece of software.

Almost each CTD I experienced were either due to some experimental software setting I made a little while ago (and half of the time, it's firewall/AV), or to faulty hardware.

Since your game worked and hardware crash is a possibility but quite rare, it may be something you did to your computer between the time you played ES2 and now ?

No hardware changes in that period.

I see that you have 8GB of RAM... If your game is like mine, it may not be enough and crash your game at loading.

For what it's worth, try looking at ram usage while it load the game, is it near 100% ram usage?

Hi guys

Did you find any solution to fix this because I just bought the game and I'm experiencing the exact same issue?

The game start normally until the endless space 2 loading screen and when the loading bar starts to fill itself up the game close by itself with no errors.

I've tried to reinstall the game, reboot my computer, run as administrator, and with windows 7 compatibility but it doesn't change anything.

I don't remember how I did it but 2 or 3 times I tried to launch the game in a special way and these times I got an error messages, it said the the game wasn't able to load the steam API or something like that.

I hope this new information will help you up because I've been waiting for that game for so long and I can't wait to play it.

If you want me to post my logs just ask and I'll post them ;)

thanks guys :)

Try this

If it doesn't work, you should post your logs but be aware that's the Christmas truce, so devs may not work :/

And to OS/software ?

Maybe a new driver for the graphic card, but I'm not sure about that.

Hmm, I was experiencing heavy RAM usage in the last days before trying to play ES2, I'll look into it.

Note every situation is different so its not really a 'did you find a solution' thing since any particular solution may or may not apply to you

Please post your dxdiag, output_log.txt and the Diagonstics

Yeah I know that every situation is unique because we don't have the same computers and components, but I was just thinking that maybe if you did find a solution then maybe it would also work for me (since I have the same problem) and I don't need to bother you for nothing ;) 

Anyway I've tried  everything stated in the common issues topic and nothing has work so far so here are my files:

your situation is likely that you need to force the game to use your Nvidia card. Force the game to use your Nvidia card via the Nvidia Control Panel.

And how do I force the game the use my card from the nvidia panel?

Ok so I followed the guide you've send me (thanks btw) and I think I already did that for the game but I did it again anyway. Here's what I've done

and yet after that the game keeps shutting down by itself...
