  • @call-me-stigg When exactly does this happen? Do you experience the crash right after you see the Splash Screen? Then this might help:

  • @greenwarfare423 right when i load the game i get the grey splash screen then it closes. i have done every single troubleshooting step i can find including your link and it doesent work. i have the game through the game pass. it doesent show up in my windows store library either(maybe its not supposed too?)

  • Im really frustrated honestly. this happened in beta and all i had to do was sign in locally.

  • Ahoy @call-me-stigg!

    Could you try these possible solutions?

    Other possible solutions:

    • [Link] Install a random application from the microsoft store (then uninstall it if you want).
    • [Link] Try changing your Local Account to your Microsoft Account or vice versa.
    • Restart the pc.
    • Reinstall the game.
    • The Windows Update service may be stopped.
    • A possible conflict with another program:
      garishaphid5379 said in Game closes after launch:

    I managed to fix it. What was causing the issue was a program called virtual audio cable. something i use to split audio channels using software rather than hardware.

  • Im not good with PC stuff. I dont know how to find a conflicting program. I did try all the troubleshooting in your link to no avail before. Im signed in locally, when i go to sign in with a MS account it says the account is already in use or something close to that.

  • @call-me-stigg That is pretty strange.
    The conflicting program is "virtual audio cable", or at least that user had that problem.

    Is your antivirus Comodo?

  • I ran into this issue during the Beta and there was a rather ridiculous fix I found. Install/Uninstall any Microsoft Store app. I installed uBlock Origins and suddenly Sea of Thieves starting launching without issue. No idea why this worked but found the suggestion on reddit awhile back. Give that a shot.

  • Try removing then reinstalling xbox insider app. Or just installing
    I had this exact issue in the beta and that solved it. Worth a try

  • @call-me-stigg Install any random free app from the winstore, you also can interrupt the download after it start. That should fix your problem.

  • Tried everything proposed. Nothing is working, still get splash screen then closes immediately. My PC specs are fine as well. Any other app will download and run via windows store, only this one will not.

    I am at my ends wit'. I am very technical, have played/installed/modded/hacked many games over last 30 years.
    Guess I have no option but to refund I mean I paid 91.90 CAD for this and have had nothing but this s**t for hours!!!

    Good luck to all ye' Pirates wish I could had joined you all.

    Captain Blades over and out

  • I have the same damn issue !! i launch the game and literally see the sea of thieves picture in the game window for half a second then it just goes off. I have tried ALL of the fixes to no avail.

  • Same problem here.
    I spent 70€ for a game that does not even work. It crashes right after the splash screen.

    I already tried changing between local and microsoft account. I downloaded other stuff... did the suggested xbox insider stuff.... even removed my firewall.
    ... pretty much tried everything that was suggested.

  • @paladinbarde06 У меня проблема именно такая же ...Уже 3й день не могу ее решить.

  • My problem is this:

    I bought the game 2 days ago and still can not play it.

    When downloading the game (when you press any key) and playing background music with the inscription from the bottom LOOKING FOR THE RESERVES takes off to the desktop
