Starbound Crashing On Startup With Mods
#3 Starbound Crashes These days crashes are a very common issue for games, in the first weeks after the launch. Players reported that Starbound crashes randomly through the game or at startup and they are unable to play the game for more than 10-20 minutes without a crash.

my game crashes every time I hit the launch starbound button
Loading editorTry right clicking starbound in your steam game list.. click properties.. click the 'local files tab' then select VERIFY GAME INTEGRITY OF GAME CACHE.
That usually fixes alot of steam related problems. Let me know if that helps.
Loading editorI tried to do what you've said, Dak, and it didn't help. I reported the bug to Starbound forums.

Me and a friend have been trying to install mods into starbound for days on end, but for some odd reason, only steam workshop mods actually work. Manually installing the mods into the mod's folder will result in a crash. I have read the installation instructions time and time again, and I'm still stumped how the game repeatedly crashes over and over again, can someone please help? |
commented Mar 10, 2017
The instructions are outdated. Make sure the mod is in the starbound/mods folder with the entire mod in it's own folder. |

We have been doing that. I would like to know is there any mod that could help fix this as it seems our versions don't work with any mod as I've tested. |
commented Mar 10, 2017
Could you post your starbound.log file here? It will let me know more on what is going on. |

commented Mar 10, 2017
I posted two of them, hoping that could help as there are five of them inside the main file source. |
commented Mar 10, 2017
Normally the starbound.log is the most recent one. Hmm, from all the errors it does not look like this mod is causing it. Does the game run without this mod? |
commented Mar 10, 2017
Yes, the game runs perfectly fine without the mod, but with the mod, it crashes. |
commented Mar 10, 2017
Okay, do you use just the standard characters that come with the game? |
commented Mar 10, 2017
I do at most, as I got some mods installed from steam, and we already tested without them, the game still crashes. |
commented Mar 11, 2017
If at all possible, do you happen to know where the steam mods are installed? The problem could be a file that's still in there that may need to go, which I am hoping to find, but with little luck. |
commented Mar 11, 2017
steam/steamapps/workshop/content/(a 6 digit number)/ |
commented Mar 11, 2017
From what I can see in the log file the thing that is causing the crash is something it can't find called charCreationTooltip |
commented Mar 11, 2017
I also checked the workshop content, there's no mods in the directory, and I'll see if I can find the file with that name. |
commented Mar 11, 2017
That file does not appear to exist anywhere on my pc. |
commented Mar 11, 2017
I did a bit of looking and it is not a file, but a line of code for character races. It is most likely a race that is not coded properly. I'll check the two this mod has. |
commented Mar 11, 2017
Alright. Hopefully it's easily fixable somewhere in the files. |
commented Mar 11, 2017
Hmm, I'm now stumped here. Both races look properly coded. |
commented Mar 11, 2017
It's probably on our end only.. |
commented Mar 11, 2017
I could check my end to see if I can figure out what could be the problem. |
commented Mar 11, 2017
The only other thing I can think of is a conflict between this mod and another. Is it possible for you to list all the mods you are using? |
commented Mar 11, 2017
Yes. |
commented Mar 11, 2017
Wait, and the game crashes with just that? |
commented Mar 11, 2017
The game runs just fine with Xbawks Character Extender, though the mod on steam was last updated on Aug 2, 2016. |
commented Mar 11, 2017
This is only without any external steam mods. |
commented Mar 11, 2017
I could uninstall Xbawks character extender and install the latest version. |
commented Mar 11, 2017
Oh okay, I think I know what is going on now. Remove the version from the steam workshop and try using the direct version found here: http://community.playstarbound.com/resources/kawas-xbawks-mode-character-creator.81/ |
commented Mar 11, 2017
It insta crashed once it loaded at chuckle fish. |
commented Mar 11, 2017
I could check the race in the vore mod file, unless I need to delete some files from the main game it's self. Napoleon total war download mega. |
commented Mar 11, 2017
Send me the new updated log file please? |
commented Mar 11, 2017
Start logging at: 2016-06-26 15:27:27.824 |
commented Mar 11, 2017
I'm gonna test to see if it runs smoothly without xbawks mod |
commented Mar 11, 2017
Nevermind, found the file charcreation, it's within the Xbawks mod. |
commented Mar 11, 2017
This whole time, it was with the character extender mod. |
commented Mar 11, 2017
So it's working now? |
commented Mar 11, 2017
That's the down side, I get an error message without the character extender mod..so that's a bust. |
commented Mar 11, 2017
So the main issue is just the character extender mod. |
commented Mar 11, 2017
I just saw something, what version of the vore mod are you using? |
commented Mar 11, 2017
8.5.0 |
commented Mar 11, 2017
Okay, for some reason it says version 8.0.1 under the /girraffe storage/mods/ folder, which is the outdated mod folder. |
commented Mar 11, 2017
I have no mod in there. |
commented Mar 11, 2017
And a test was proven successful, starbound is able to run with JUST the vore mod. |
commented Mar 11, 2017
The latest log you posted is from June 26, 2016, not one from today's date. |
commented Mar 11, 2017
xbawks finally started working..my mind is broken. |
commented Mar 11, 2017
Huh, odd. I have no idea why it would cause problems and now somehow fixed itself? |
commented Mar 11, 2017
Yeah..it was most likely just the steam version that was causing problems and not the manual installation one. |
commented Mar 11, 2017
Why Is My Starbound Crashing On Start
I thought as much because I had the same issue with the steam workshop version when starbound updated. |
commented Mar 11, 2017
My friend is screaming right now because they're extremely upset..their lucario mod isn't compatible anymore. |
commented Mar 11, 2017
Hasn't that race mod not been updated since around 2015? |
commented Mar 11, 2017
Yeah.. |
commented Mar 11, 2017
I wonder what it would take to even update it.. |
commented Mar 11, 2017
Who knows |
commented Mar 11, 2017
Well, there is a lucario npc in this mod. Might be easier to reverse engineer using that and the old lucario mod together somehow. |
commented Mar 11, 2017
Possibly |

but thank you for helping. |
commented Mar 11, 2017
I'm actually trying to remake the race right now actually. Just leave this ticket open and I'll update about it here if I manage to make some progress on it. |
commented Mar 11, 2017
Will do. |
