X4 does not launch, no errors (STEAM VERSION)

[Ludizone]

Hello,

X4 does not launch anymore, after clicking on play button, the button changes to starting and cancel, and back to start (or play, my steam is in french).

But the game dident even start, no errors, no message. no screens openned even a second.

I tryed the legacy and beta versions, reinstalled the game, checked the files, there is no mods, i disabled the vpn, antivirus, firewall, the cloud save... And still nothing.

My comptuer has a RT 6700 XT and Ryzen 7700X, with AMD adrenalin for the settings, drivers up to date.

No problem with other games.

Any Ideas ?

We can't help you without any information to work with. Please see the very first thread at the top of the forum and provide the information requested there, including your game version, and your DXDiag and vulkaninfo.

Note that sometimes nothing starting at all is actually a Steam issue, and that verifying your game files and then restarting the Steam client can sometimes solve it.

Looks like this was solved already: https://steamcommunity.com/app/392160/d ... 637482192/

Strangely enough by "installing the VULKAN SDK"

That is usually a really bad idea...

Does uninstalling the Vulkan SDK cause the issue to occur again? If not then it could have been that somehow you installed the Vulkan SDK previously and it became corrupt or incompatible. The Vulkan SDK should only be needed by application developers, regular users should not need to install it.
