Visual C++ 2015 Launch Errors
Since release, some people have been unable to play Starbound due to Visual C++ 2015 runtime failing to install on their PCs. This tends to be an issue with PCs on out-of-date versions of Windows, and tends to be solved by updating your Windows service packs and manually installing the Visual C++ 2015 runtime, but some people have been unable to do this or have found that it hasn't worked for them.
We've statically linked Visual C++ 2015 for the win32 version of Starbound, which should hopefully clear up this issue for a lot of people. You'll need to select 'Launch Starbound - win32' when you launch Starbound on Steam. :)
OpenGL 2.0 Launch Errors
If you're getting an error on launch that says 'OpenGL 2.0 not available', please ensure you've updated your graphics drivers!
OS X 10.8 Launch Errors
If you're unable to launch Starbound on a version of OS X lower than 10.9, please try updating to a more recent version of OS X!
In short, it helps to keep your software up to date! If you find that you've tried everything and Starbound still won't run for you, please email us with no less than a description of the issue you're having, a list of your PC's specs, and a copy of your full Starbound error log (starbound.log in your directory). Here's a post with guidelines for reporting bugs. :)
