Hello there,

I have the same problem, a bright rose screen at launch since the Rift update. I hear the game launch, and then pink screen and crash some time later. 

I tried to fiddle but to no avail, the machine won't bargain.

Here I upload the report of the crash

crash.dm

perror.log

output_log.txt

I am a little sad but at least the screen is pink and not black.

Can you try deleting the file

My Documents\Endless Space 2\Users\<numbers>\Registry.xml

And start the game

Also do you have any command line options in the Steam launcher for the game?

Did that, no changes.

I've seen a few other reports of the game not triggering the DX11 rendering pipeline

Can you go into steam

Endless Space 2-> Right click->Properties

General->Set Launch Options

-force-d3d11

Folks,

Can you please check the solution in this other thread?

Can you also attach your DxDiag dump if the issue is not solved?

Thanks!

P.S.

Thanks Satoru!

Yes.

Yes.

the logs indicate teh game is still using the Intel HD3000 which is definitely not DX11 complaint so it's going to barf

I would delete your existing configuration in the Nvidia Control Panel. Then manually create a new one to force your Nvidia card.

Yeah, I know but no need, it was my mistake, I needed to install a previous update first before the one with the fix.

I can run the game okay now. Thanks for the help
