Gamepass starbound will not start

I recently got the game on gamepass and it wont start, I have tried multiple times.

windows 10, 64 bit
I cant find the error log on the gamepass version.

it did however give an error I cannot copy it so here's a screenshot



i see what the cause is after looking. my documents folder is on my d: drive I have no idea what to do to fix this issue however

Update 3
resolved.

for those wondering how to fix this issue go to your c drive click users then the user you're on then create a folder named Documents, make sure its a capital d.

 

So i tried this and it hasn't worked. I have the exact same error message but when I created the documents folder It was already there, it asks me to merge the two I can't have 2 folders with the same name and it wont find the one already there.
Does anyone have any ideas to help me?

 

I have also tried both of those things, I also tried isntalling it all to the same drive which hasnt worked. And I've tried creating a starbound folder for it in the documents folder, but it says that its just unable to open it. The game has full permission like all the others do from gamespass too

 

Thats much appreciated, thank you

 

Its the exact same error message in the screenshot here, when I create a Starbound folder for it in the Documents folder It changes from "Could not create directory" to "Could not open file" but otherwise is the same.

 

Is that under properties?
Under attributes it has read only, I disabled that.
And under the security tab everyone already has full control access.

Under the "give access to" on the right click menu it also already has full access to everyone. I am still getting the same error message with all that done.

 

ahh Okay, Mine are all the same and I am also the admin of my pc... perhaps the issue is gamespass related rather than starbound related, I will keep searching.

No worries, I appreciate you going through all that effort on my behalf anyways!

 

On the PC Game Pass it still does not work, I think its looking for a folder on C: to create temp files in but I deliberately dont have my Users folder on C:. I have been playing with the paths in the MicrosoftGame.config and SBInit.config files to try and figure out the issue.

Looking in your FAQ it talks about an error log but it seems to be giving information only for Steam users.

my sbinit.config file is:

{
"assetDirectories" : [
"..\\assets\\",
"G:\Documents\Starbound\Mods\"
],
"storageDirectory" : "G:\Documents\Starbound\",
"assetsSettings" : {
"pathIgnore" : [],
"digestIgnore" : [
".*"
]
},
"defaultConfiguration" : {
"allowAdminCommandsFromAnyone" : true,
"anonymousConnectionsAreAdmin" : true,
"gameServerBind" : "*",
"queryServerBind" : "*",
"rconServerBind" : "*"
}
}


I created those folders and its still not working.

Please help us PC Game Pass users plat this game, I pay for gamepass I dont want to pay on Steam as well for something i should be able to enjoy on a service I already pay for.

 

I'm so happy I stumbled across this it wasn't just me in the dark and Friend Now not so long ago about a couple of months I was able to play the game It was after the last update That caused this problem I'm someone who spent nearly 300 hours on pc game pass Is Now Playing on the steam version Kind of annoyed Because I really wanted to get back into it on xbox game pass for pc I do believe it's a problem on their Later up dat end cause I've got other friends saying the same So we do have to wait for an update To fix this But it would be nice If there was a confirm on this problem Waste of time trying anything else as The results are the same I didn't want To be able not to play it agen on game pass pc

 

Tried that one When the problem started. buddy doesn't work Do you know if you would roll out a fix for game pass

 

I'm also on gamepass but I'm not experiencing the same issue,basically when im launching the game i get this error and i've tried compatibility set on windows 7 and also running as administrator but no help:

 

I found a fix (idk if this will work for anyone else)

Go to (Your user name) Documents then find the starbound file in there and delete it then just relaunch starbound
If this doesn't work I'm sorry
