I have a friend who is also having the same problem and he doesn’t have any mods. He has tried doing a Steam integrity check. He has uninstalled the game and reinstalled on a different hard drive and he is having the same issue.

After today’s update, my wife’s game won’t start at all now.

open game \> launcher opens \> click launch \> spins for a sec \> launcher closes \> nothing happens  
Occurs regardless of starting from Steam, starting from Game Icon, and even trying to start directly from the .exe file in folder.

Greetings,

Apologies for the delay. We are experiencing some issues with the mod devkit, and we are working as fast as possible to solve them.

We’ll update this thread once a fix is out. Thanks for understanding.

@Caroll - Thanks for the update. I was playing all morning after the update installed. I logged out and now it shows Fatal Error on every attempt to log into the server or SP.

Rebooted server, client and validated game files on the client.

It initially worked for me as well (Windows 10, Nvidia GTX 1070). Once I logged out and tried to get back in was when I started having issues.

I just log into the game to check, it is working.

I have windows 10 pro 20H2, and a nvidia GTX 2060 + Kaspersky internet security.

Official server, no mod.

Hello again,

We are still looking into the issues. However, in the meantime, we suggest trying to verify the integrity of the game files via Steam.

Also if you wish to play without mods, you can disable them in the launcher. Please note that when playing SP or on your own dedicated server, it’s recommended to backup the game.db before loading in with the mods disabled.

Thanks for your support.

you won’t, according to the faqs you don’t even need to own the game to earn them, you will just claim them later once the issue has been resolved.
