Game WILL NOT launch

[Deltalon]

Title, really... I click play, the ring around my avatar turns green for about 2 seconds, and then turns back to blue. Nothing else happens.

I've validated, reinstalled, validated again, and just ended up confused.

What do I do? I really want to play this game, it looks pretty good. :confused:

Huh, has anyone here actually launched the game?

[ExzoSSG]

Have you guys tried messing with the launch options? try using -fullscreen -w xxxx -h xxxx (x) being the resolution you use, or you can try running it in windowed mode (-windowed). That's all I can think of, not sure on the Steam version I bought my copy from Gamersgate.

I just tried that in fullscreen, no luck.

Have you visited the game's website?
http://qube-game.com/
There's an FAQ that lists possible reasons for the game not launching, chief among them being NET Framework not being installed on your PC.

[JoeSlow]

I looked in "F:\Steam\steamapps\common\qube\203730_install.vdf" and saw
"%INSTALLDIR%\\Binaries\\InstallData\\dotNetFx40_Fu ll_setup.exe" but I didn't realized that the game setup ran .NET-setup.

So I ran "F:\Steam\steamapps\common\qube\Binaries\InstallDat a\dotNetFx40_Full_setup.exe", started Windows Update.
It made 3 updates to .NET.
It took quite a long time installing these updates, rebooted my computer, but nothing's changed.
The game doesn't start. :confused:

.NET is installed, I just reinstalled it.

The FAQ says how one should react when getting error messages.
But I don't get any message. The game simply doesn't start.
So unfortunately this FAQ doesn't help me solving my problem.

I'm going to try reinstalling DirectX, it's possible that I haven't got a working copy ATM. I'm fairly sure Terraria uses DirectX, but hey, it's worth a shot.

I can start the game now! :)

I had to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package

Just played the first level. I really like it.:)

Starting to believe that this game cannot run on new systems, windows 7 64 bit at this time, cause I tried everything, install, unistall, my system has the lasest drivers and windows updates.
I guess I cannot get a refund , really giving up.I will not buy games that are new on steam, will wait for 6 months, then buy.
I am not only one with this issue.

have you installed .net framework 4 and Microsoft C++ 2010 redistributable package as the other comments have pointed out?

GAME DIR\Binaries\Redist\UE3Redist.exe
It will also install all needed components

[grimshade]

Thanks DovahLord,

After running that file, my game now launches.

[uraniumisot283]

if your pc is very new it has a newer microsoft visual redistributable package and the game will not run. your PC also will not dowload an older version because it has the newer one.

do I have that file on my computer, or do I find it on the internet?

Thanks a million DovahLord, that did the trick, launched without issues.

Go into your common files, click on Qube file, you will see that file, click on it and it will install, :)Worked for me.

i've tried downloading it but it says I have a newer version and won't download. Does anyone have a different solution?

What are common files?

[uraniumisot283]

i found common files, but there's no qube folder. Could they be the wrong common files? Also, which OS are you using?

[uraniumisot283]

i just had to install a newer version of microsoft.net here: http://www.microsoft.com/net/ and now it's fixed. I still greatly appreciate your help efforts.

Hello guys.

I'm interested in trying out the demo. I downloaded it with full of hopes, then the game didn't launch.
I did as you say and updated the .net, and the redistributes. Now the game launches (black screen with hourglass mouse appears for a momment) then instantly I get the "qube_demo.exe has stopped working" error.

I have no idea what to do. I tryed to launch it in xp compatibility, it didn't help.

I have win 7 x64 with an ati x1600 pro video card. As far as i know it supports pixel shader 3.

Do you have any help?

[Thumper.]

It seems Steam has updated QUBE. It appears the updates worked. I am running Win 7 x64 and was having the same problem before the game update.
