Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - Technical Issues Can't start the game anymore

Hi, I got the game a few days ago and have been playing until last night without a single problem with the game. Then today I tried to start the game and I get a Runtime Error that says "Program...mapps\common\Divinity - Original Sin\Shipping\EoCApp.exe
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information."

I have tried running EoCApp.exe and running it as administrator, but that doesn't help as the game just instantly stops responding when it finishes loading and windows shuts it off.

Did you try verifying local files? In the Steam library, right click on Divinity Original Sin and select Properties, switch to the Local Files tab and then click on the 'Verify Integrity of Game Cache...' button.

Are you shutting down all non-essential programs (especially anti-virus) before starting the game?

Try browsing to the '..\Documents\Larian Studios' folder and renaming the 'Divinity Original Sin' subfolder.
This folder contains the saved games, configuration files and a level cache folder. Deleting or renaming it will get the game to recreate it on startup; playing the game from a different Windows user account would effectively do the same thing.
If that allows D:OS to start, create a new profile and exit, then move your current saves from the renamed folder to the newly created profile's savegames folder.
If it doesn't help, then delete the new folder, and rename your original back again.


Crash on startup [Solved]

I did try verifying local files with Steam but it didn't help.
I tried all the other solutions, and also nothing fixed the problem.
I even tried to download that fresh folder you provided and even that doesn't fix my problem...

Did you install or update anything before this happened?

Please email supportdos@larian.com, with a description of the problem and the report.zip file generated by the D:OS support tool (for the PC version). The report will contain system and game information, any crash dumps, and your saved games (which can be deleted from the zip to reduce file size, since they are not relevant in this case).

I did make two custom henchmen, but I did play perfectly fine the whole session yesterday after making them.
Today I changed one of them slightly before trying to play [didn't hire them yet] which I guess could have broken the game?

Anyway I have uninstalled and downloading the game again right now and will try to launch the game without the custom henchmen and then try to launch with the custom henchmen before the change I made to them today.

Yeah, seems that it was the henchmen...
Which makes no sense with how perfectly the game was working yesterday WITH them!
