I have tried verifying the game files integrity, have tried reinstalling the game, and set the Quality Level of the registry.xml file to <Good>, but nothing solved the problem. I couldn't download the safe registry file on this other topic, but I don't think much would have changed anyway (since the problem appeared with the full release, and my issue was already here during early access).


I have found a freetype6.dll file in the Steam\steamapps\common\Endless Space 2\EndlessSpace2_Data\Plugins folder, maybe the game can't read the file for some reason ? All of the game files have "read only" deactivated, so this probably isn't the problem.

Here are some extra files, in case something important changed :

Hi there,


From what we see in your output log, the Freetype DLL (part of the game installation) was not found on your system. Maybe the copy went wrong when the game was installed. Please try to check your game files integrity or reinstall the game.


Cheers,

Hi everyone


I have the following problem when starting the game : the game launches normally and everything goes perfectly fine, until I reach the loading screen.

No problem occurs during the loading, however when it completes... well, nothing happens for a long time (over 10 minutes).


The menu's music can be heard, and I can move the cursor around, but that's about it ; the game is stuck at the end of its first loading screen.


I have updated the drivers for my graphic card and I am running the program as an administrator, and I have tried all of the fixes on the "common issues" thread.


Here's the output file :

output_log.txt


My computer's specs : 


Processor
  Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4200H CPU @ 2.80GHz 


RAM
  6.0 GB 


Video Card
  NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M

Driver Version
  10.18.13.5946

Operating System
  Microsoft Windows 10 (build 14393), 64-bit


Thanks in advance for the help.

I already have the same problem, the loading bar charges and  the game crashes. Trying to verify cache but nothing. Ill try all this tips here, but i doubt it could work, still waiting for more answers. The strange part is that i just played 1 day before official release and was working good, i just downloaded this new patch and this happened.

I also seem to have the same problem as HadvarRastapop. The game freezes at the loading screen when the bar is complete. The main menu music plays and i can move the cursor but im stuck at the loading screen.


My system specs are:

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6500U CPU @ 2.50GHz 

Nvidia GTX 950M (same graphics card as OP)

8GB Ram

DX 12.0


Also, all of my drivers are up to date and i have followed all of the general fixes (changed NVidia card to default, run on W7 compatibility, reinstalled DotNet redist, etc)


are there any solutions to this yet? OP? Im so keen to play it hurts haha

I am in the middle of a bunch of exams, so sorry if I can't answer frequently.


Sadly the problem still persists for me (I guess that since I have a NVIDIA Video Card while the patch helped with AMD Cards, I should have expected this).

I recently installed a new driver too (GeForce Game Ready ver. 382.05), but it didn't change anything either.

Sorry for the late answer.


I just did all of this (run steam and the game as an administrator, check the game file's integrity) but the problem persists, despite the recent update (I was hoping the problem would've been resolved thanks to it, but it doesn't seem to be the case).
