State of Decay 2 crashes on startup

I found a better way to do it, you dont need Victoria 2, just start the game. the logo appears, Win+R, right click on your desktop, screen configuration and change the size of your screen (less that you already have)

keep it like that 1 minute (maybe more or less idk) then change the size to how you want it and SOD2 should run fine now

Nice one mate,still having the same problems so ill give it a go

So.... this thread is been dead since february, anyway i will post this:

I was having the same problem... but i solve it (Pure luck to be honest)

So i opened SOD2 and the logo thing appears ( as usual ) then i used Win+R To go to my desktop and i opened other game ( Victoria 2, i dont know if u can fix it with another game i tried with this one and worked) the game always changes the screen size, so i waited till it loads and then close it.

If you did it like me the SOD2 is still open, click it and it will start normally (I dont know if this only works for me but it did it)

Sorry for my bed england

My friends wants to play the game with me but it keeps crashing on his computer for some reason. My game works perfectly fine. We both got it from the Microsoft store, but whenever he launches the game, it crashes on the logo screen. I went on the game forum but found no solution.

Hi i finally resolve this problem, looks like is a problem with the localization system of the game in the recent patch, try this:

Go to languaje preferences, and change it to English united states, ant the region to the same, if you alread have it, just download and put another english *english from australia for xample, and the region too... download the spanish spain or mexico pack too, restart de pc an try to open you game with the new languaje, if it works just take back yor original languaje settings and ready.

I still isn't working.  I change my region and language to 10 different languages and region and still wasn't working.

Still not working.... this happens after the Windows update.... =(
