Game won´t start any longer (Steam)

kCD runs fine in Windows 7 and 10 no need for compability both my machines are I7 one is a 2600 and the other 8700k the game runs fine but I use AMD GPU does the game CTD? If it does most likely is a driver problem try rolling back the drivers till it won’t crash anymore and take the compability mode off.and do you have any mods installed ? If you do unistall them that may be the problem.

I think the problem is the windows update 1809. Rollback to 1803 and everything works fine.

My game runs fine with the Windows updates.

Hi, are you still having issues? Your last post was 5 days ago so just wondering if you got it working. After looking at your error in event viewer you may have a corrupt kernelbase.dll file. I’ve seen this error once when someone was trying to start skyrim and it was crashing. One way to check this is to create a new user profile on your PC. Set it up as an administrator, then try and run the game from that profile.

There are also some applications you can run if you would like to download them and give them a try first. I keep them all downloaded on my PC and run them when I run into issues. I use almost all of these programs occasionally other than snappydriver They all have free versions and work without any adware or things of that sort. I’ve told other people about these and been told things like they don’t trust links and things like that posted on here so I’m just going to say, this is my opinion(and lots of othes) and I have never had any problems with any of these programs but it’s up to you. I’m just going to link an article that includes them all so you know I’m not just making it up or promoting anything… You can find download links for all of them here… https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/5-free-tools-fix-problem-windows-10/

Yeah, the issue is still the same.

I´m in contact with support and sent them a dump file.
They are looking into it and I will post again as soon as I know more.

I did a few checks with internal system tools like SFC regarding kernelbase.dll and also tried to re-register it but no luck so far.
I´ll try it with another profile.

Thanks all for your inputs - much appreciated!

Just created a new user profile (set up as admin) - but the game didn´t start either.

I have this EXACT same issue.

I have just bought the game today (Steam) and haven’t managed to launch the game once.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to solve this yet?

Specs below:
i7 7700k
GTX 1080
32GB 3200MHz Corsair Dominator Platinum RAM

Restarted my PC - No Change
Verified Files - No Issues
Turned AV Off - Same Problem
Closed EVERYTHING Before Launching - Same Issue.

I’ve just bought the game along with ALL of the DLC and it won’t open. I will be refunding this by the morning if there is no fix.

Launching from the .exe file - Same issue
Launching from the .exe file as admin - No change.

I’m having a very similar issue to CPS, I’ve just bought the game myself and am very frustrated that it will not launch past the splash screen, and I’ve tried every fix I could find

Game works for most ppl issue is in ur rig not in game.

@cps and @Nielern could you upload your KCD.Log file too? Just to be sure it’s the same issue.
Thanks

Some other things I’ve done.
Re-downloaded the game
Launched just the base game, with no DLC active
Turned off the pagefile

Is there anyone with the Problem who have some time to make a small test with me?

I’ve been getting some help from an admin in the Discord chat room too, and it’s been found to be a memory access violation.

To add, trying to fix the problem, I’ve also tried:
Removing 24GB of my system RAM bringing it down to 8GB
Running a memory diagnosis test
Disabling my network adapters in device manager
Tried running the game with steam set to “offline mode”

If you like and have some time just PM me.

I am able to run the game with no problem.

Still waiting for some Feedback from @CPS
But if you have a Roccat Mouse/Keyboard you can try uninstalling the Roccat Mouse/Keyboard Driver.
If you have success please leave a Little Feedback here…and if not too.
