Fatal errors are usually a corrupted file, have you tried verifying your files?

You'll need to right-click the game in your library, select "properties", "installed files", and then "verify integrity of game files"

I've also tried re-downloading the game and that didn't help eather

SO this could be multiple things like hungry stated usually a reverify is in order
Update all your drivers, graphics drivers as well,

make sure in your launch options there is nothing in there via steam, library, right click dod, go to properties, then general as long as lauch options is not filled in with anything should be good to boot up.

(im no tech but I looked this up)
two solutions given on unreal engine forums is

  1. Open NVIDIA Control Panel

Go to “Manage 3D settings”

Find the “Restore Defaults” in the upper right corner of the control panel

Click it and you will get a pop-up and click yes on it.

  1. Since it’s crashing on launch you could try changing the setting by opening your Config/DefaultEngine.ini and changing ‘DefaultGraphicsRHI’ there.

[/Script/WindowsTargetPlatform.WindowsTargetSettings]
DefaultGraphicsRHI=DefaultGraphicsRHI_DX11

forest mason

Thats fine, I just need the updated log to see what is going on.

rugged owl
forest mason
#

Your game is still launching in DX12.

#

Can you please uninstall and reinstall Day of Dragons.

rugged owl
#

really why? i put the -dx11 in the thingy

forest mason
#

Steam isnt applying the launch options.

rugged owl
forest mason
#

In that case before you do, restart steam.

rugged owl
#

okay! ill restart steam first

#

okay steam is restarted

forest mason
#

Just making sure, you have only -dx11 and no spaces correct?

rugged owl
#

yeah no speces!

forest mason
#

Alright, try launching again.

rugged owl
#

okay!

#

it Crashed again :/

forest mason
#

Send the log again please.

rugged owl

#

forest mason
#

Sure launch again.

rugged owl
#

okay

forest mason
#

Its still using DX12.

rugged owl
#

so this might be a dumb question

#

can it be becuse of a windows vershon?

forest mason
#

It can be.

rugged owl
#

this is my vershon

forest mason
#

I would recommend going to the latest Windows version. Being on outdated OS versions have been known to cause problems.

rugged owl
#

okay um how dose one do that?

forest mason
rugged owl
#

it says i have an update

#

i assume i shoud update it

rugged owl
#

okay i updated it! do we try again?

rugged owl
#

IT OPENED IT WORKS!! i cant thank you enoth! thank you for helping me Echo! !!!

forest mason
rugged owl
#

it was the system i think XD

#

anyway thank you so much!

forest mason
#

Also, make sure Day of Dragons is installed on an SSD. It is required as per our store page. You can also find the recommended specs there too.

rugged owl
forest mason
#

If it is not, you may experience issues loading into servers 🙂

#

Best of luck to you, and happy playing 🙂

rugged owl
#
