i can't rename C:\Users\Sebastian\Documents\" to "Endless space 2-Old  beacuse one file in the folder is open in another program

You are renaming the "Endless Space 2" Folder Right?

You can use Resource Monitor to find what program has a file open. Just go to the CPU tab then Associated Handles and type C:\Users\Sebastian\Documents\Endless Space 2 in the search box

Hopefuly a dev such as AmpliMath can shead some more light on this error as I've run out of ideas

I'm having the same issue, and from the screenshot in the first post it looks like my loading bar gets stuck in the same place as Sebro's. I've tried completely removing the game (Steam uninstall followed by manually deleting the Endless Space 2 folders in both my Steam directory and My Documents) and fresh installing, and nothing has changed.

Diagnostics - 2017'06'29 @0521'56''.html

The diagnostics file includes lines indicating that it failed to detect a Steam connection, but I can't imagine why that would be. I am definitely connected to Steam and experiencing no connectivity issues.

Also, this might not be relevant, but my graphics card is a Radeon HD 6870, which is one of the chipsets that has been causing a lot of issues since launch. This doesn't seem like a graphics issue, but since it's something that has been the source of a failure to reach the main menu in the recent past I thought I'd mention it.

Could Both of you Post a DxDiag File (Press Win+R, Type DxDiag, Click OK, Then Click Save All Infomation)

SB wrote:

Well, I just came back to it a few hours later and now it loads up just fine, without any changes since my last post. No idea why. Maybe there really was some kind of temporary connection issue, but in such a way that neither the Steam client nor any of my other games were affected?

Hmm, What Ships where on the main menu ? I know the Vodyani Ark did cause some amd cards to crash on the menu

what are the devs doing :( plz help :(

Have you have the game installed since Early Access ? (maybe something not in the install folder was not updated?)

Now what I suggest is try copying a file in C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Endless Space 2/Public/Tutorials\ and renaming it to TutorialDefinitions[EarlyAccess].xml'

I have no Idea if this will work but try it anyway, If it doesn't upload the new Diagnostics it case it sheads any more light on the error

Hey Painter448, thanks for responding so quickly!

I am not on a mac, im running windows. 

redownloading the mono folder did not work, the "libc" folder is still not there, got any other ideas?

output_log.txt 

EDIT: the output is different now, but im not entirely sure where the problem is occuring now because it isnt saying anything about the mono folder

I've been Looking into the bug a bit more, It appears to be related to the Unity engine and particular 64 bit architectures 

One thing would be to try reinstall .Net Framework Download Link Here There is an installer in the _CommonRedist folder

It's not likely to work but will do no harm.

Another thing to try would be running the program in compatability mode for Windows XP Service Pack 3 by going to the the .exe file and changing its properties, if that does not work undo it as it may cause more problems.

Edit: Ignore all this I just checked my own log an I am getting this error but I'm able to run my game file so it probably is not the issue.

Could you upload the diagnostics file? I do not know if there will be one but if there is you will find it in %My Documents%/Endless Space 2/Temporary Files/ Its a html file, with the time and date in its name of when the game launched

Yeah i have had it installed since Early Access

Fun fact though, that file does exist, and it is still right where it says it supposed to be

And when i move the file out of the folder and start up the game, the loading bar reaches the end and the menu music begins to play but i get no main menu, only the still with the 

loading bar

Also here is the new diagnostic file when the "TutorialDefinitions[EarlyAccess].xml" is removed

It seems to be saying I am missing a bunch of GUI elements, which I am almost positive I am not.

Diagnostics - 2017'06'27 @2121'55''.html

is steam_api64.dll suppost to be there? in that folder?

It appears that since early access one of the updates (if not more) has not deployed incorrectly on your install, files that should have been deleted have not.

So they best way to solve this would be to do a clean install (as this is out of the verify game cache's depth) 

To Do a clean install first open up the games install folder, then in steam uninstall the game, then go back to the folder and delete any remaining files.

Next go to the user directory (%My Documents%/Endless Space 2) and delete the "Users" folder. Then Reinstall the game from steam. This Should fix it.

Yes that's the right place for it.

In your Diagnostics file There is a major error Where normaly you would get

It appears that it trys to close it self but the nature of the error means that its unable to, because it has not loaded one of the .Net assemblies correctly I would assume.

Could you go to "%Install Folder%\Endless Space 2\EndlessSpace2_Data" and Delete the "Managed" Folder (It contains the .Net assemblies)

And then with steam verify the game cache (so that it redownloads the files)

Does the game now work ? If Not upload the new diagnostics and a screen shot of the contents of the managed folder and I will take a look.

Ok, Your Folder looks good. it all seems right.

This error is getting rather persistant, So Lets try a few diffrent things firstly:

In "E:/Andra disk steam /steamapps/common/Endless Space 2\_CommonRedist\DirectX\Jun2010" Run DXSETUP.exe

In "E:/Andra disk steam /steamapps/common/Endless Space 2\_CommonRedist\DotNet\4.5.1" Run NDP451-KB2872776-x86-x64-AllOS-ENU.exe

In "E:/Andra disk steam /steamapps/common/Endless Space 2\_CommonRedist\vcredist\2010" Run Both vcredist_x64.exe and vcredist_x64.exe (If it says its installed use the repair Function)

Then Delete the Registry.xml files found in 

"C:\Users\Sebastian\Documents\Endless Space 2\" (if there is one here)

"E:/Andra disk steam /steamapps/common/Endless Space 2\"

"C:\Users\Sebastian\Documents\Endless Space 2\Users\169358978\"(Delete any files in this folder)

Then go to "E:/Andra disk steam /steamapps/common/Endless Space 2\" and Run EndlessSpace2.exe as Administrator

I'm Still trying to figure out the cause of [Error]Application is shutting down... & An exception has been raised while initializing the application managers.

It might be a dev only has the anwser to that though. (My Current thought is that this could be caused by a broken VCredist)

If this does not work could you upload both the new diagnostics and outputlog

Edit: If this does not work try renaming the "Endless space 2" Folder in "C:\Users\Sebastian\Documents\" to "Endless space 2-Old" (There is an small chance it might be caused by something in the folder)
