Was crashing while starting, now won't even start up

Farthest Frontier Bug Reporting
1

I’ve been playing a lot the last few days. Was getting intermittent crashes, but it wasn’t very frequent. Had trouble starting new maps a few times, it would crash as it was finishing loading. Finally got a game going, up to T2, but it crashed and now it won’t load. At first I could at least get to the main menu and hit “continue” or “load”, but now I’m not even getting the logo/title screen or menu. The .exe is running and has to be killed but the display never changes from the desktop.

No mods. I’ve tried validating, deleting the Saved Games\Farthest Frontier\Save folder, and deleting/reinstalling the game. Game version 1.0.2 on Steam, Windows 11 (though I think it is cursed.)
I have the crash dump from when it last would start, I will attempt to attach in a reply.

Ok I can’t drop a .7z file, let me know how I can get the crash dump and a dxdiag output to you.

The dxdiag and crash dump would definitely be the first things to look at.

It will only let me upload pictures it seems, I can’t include the 7zipped crash dump.

Sent. Thanks for taking a look! I just got the military victory last night and wanted to start over. :confused:

Despite multiple reboots yesterday not helping, it seems that after an unexpected reboot overnight, today the game is starting and I can load the save. I’ve still crashed a couple times (though no crash log has been created so far) but its running!

Just adding a note for the record that my crashing is most likely a hardware issue on my end. It was really bad for a day or two but now its back to “infrequent”. This issue can be closed.
