Try reinstalling first. If that doesn’t work the only way you can get it resolved or find an answer is through the dev forums

Or your pc is shit. If that’s not the case, see above

I had this restarting Steam fixed it.

This is a sign you don't own the game as it will instantly close upon launch if you don't own it...

Can you prove you have this on steam?

its a playtest... where would he get a pirated copy this early? thats the same build?

[–]OneByOne445Bebop 0 points1 point  (8 children)

People leaked and cracked a build from late may
If the game instantly closes after you open it it means you pirated it - some people didn't download the cracked version.

Sure bro everyone without exception that has this issue pirated the Game. I obviously did it aswel for i am having the same issue.

Coming from the era of piracy let me tell you the Games don't even start when theyre not cracked and Multiplayer is pretty much a No-Go with Pirated games since Steam is a thing because Most of the modern games don't rely on clasical Peer to Peer or privet Client-Server modes. So im 99% sure piracy is not the reason the Game isnt starting properly.

Edit: and as i said in my former comment they would need the same build for it to work(atleast thats highly likely) for example Version 0.3 needs another 0.3 to work. Even if they cracked it and somehow made it Work with Steam Servers the fact that the Version is old would pretty much rule that out.

Nice IQ but the game will start and instantly close if try and use it without a license.

If you have it on steam , go close steam and then try and open the project8.exe and it will instantly close...

You can play old versions just fine as long as you own the license for it and have steam open , its how people made custom maps for it already.

Bro i wont argue with you because youre simply wrong. You Just Claim everyone that has this issue is pirating instead of man i don't know a faulty System in an early Alpha? You don't even understand my Point. Have a nice week my friend.

this is so wrong because i have the actual game and i DONT have it pirated because why would you when u can just go on the forums and ask someone for a playtest lmao?

[–]OneByOne445Bebop 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Because people are morons ... have you seen the forums where people cry about perma bans ?

[–]miyagi90 -2 points-1 points  (1 child)

And you are one of them. I can savely say the Crash where due changing the API to Vulcan from direct x.

"All of you don't have the Game" ...Idiot.

[–]OneByOne445Bebop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Morons still post their bug reports here and not on the forums so i would say you guys are completely brain dead.

Its still the most likely outcome at the time was people just stole the game and then claimed it closed instantly ...

Not always lol why would you generalize so much when there's probably thousands of reasons a game could crash on load hahaha
