Congratulations on the score!
Thus far this is putting the game's first few metacritic reviews at 80, 80 and 85%.
Which is quite exceptional for an indie game.

Despite the fact I got this game rather recently. I would have absolutely no problem with a sale.
Games thrive upon a large and involved community. And the only way to grow a community is to attract more people to the game. I cannot think of a better way of doing this than hosting a sale on steam.
Even if it means the price is discounted 50%, I would have no issues if it meant the game's popularity grew significantly.
More people playing the game means more people making mods. More people making maps. More community involvement in all aspects.
This would improve the game far more than a sense of "Respect" the developer has for the price people have paid thus far.
Overall, I think the success of the game is more important than the value of the money I have paid for it.

At first glance, culprit is the GvOsd.dll, which is a part of Gigabyte OC Guru II Utility. That's what i found on the case:

There are more reports about this program conflicting with several games. If you do have it, try to disable/uninstall it (don't forget to reboot after uninstalling).
Ah.
It would appear your wizardry is quite accurate.
Just had to close it, works fine now.
Well then!
Was it simple to figure out? I'd quite like to know how to go about resolving such things myself, if it's not too much trouble to explain.

Seems to happen with a variety of different objects.
Best bet is to shoot them before you go through them, or don't bring the car.

Okay, so, I decided to try the game out on a virtual machine.
Works, as far as I can tell.
Dunno what's going on in regards to my machine, but, hey, at least it's working by proxy, right?

That's the crash dump, if you can get anything from it.
-
Any additional information could be useful.
Have you deleted local content and reinstalled completely?
Maybe try opting in to the optional experimental branch?
The game isn't significantly different but steam does download the new files so might pick up a problem it is normally missing.
A very long shot as you can guess.
I don't know if you can still access the game through another method, like the Desura downloads to try those.
Yes, I have done these things.
I cannot access downloads on other platforms.

I'm still not getting anything from the game.
Upon starting the Editor (Which also does not work.), a memory dump file is created.
Would this be useful in resolving this issue?
-
Go into the options for the game and Verify the File Integrity to check you've got all the files you need. Once that's done, if it's not working you've probably got something weird going on with your PC hardware / software.
I've had a few people with this issue find it's their anti-virus software causing it, so I'd try temporarily disabling that to play the game. It sometimes kills the application before it loads up.
Steam tells me the integrity is fine.
Anti-virus is off, I searched up on that.
Yeah, not sure.
Steam doesn't do any sort of first time setup, so, perhaps there's a prerequisite program I'm missing?
-
Any more ideas on this one? Been a couple of days now, still nothing.
-
Have you tried running it outside of the steam client? You'd have to look in /Steam/steamapps/common/Xenonauts/ for the Xenonauts .exe.
Yup, still nothing.
-
Any extra information you can give would be useful.
Operating system version, graphics card type, are driver versions all up to date etc.
You could try the usual process of setting the Xenonauts exe to compatibility mode or run as admin and see if it makes any difference.
Easiest way to find it is to right click Xenonauts in your steam library, click properties, select the local files tab, and then click browse local files.
I imagine it'll be easier to attach the DxDiag for this computer, it'll probably be asked for at some stage.
All drivers should be up to do. Graphics card, I updated this morning, so, that has to be so.
And, yeah, I've done all that stuff. No luck, unfortunately.
-
So, I received the game today as a gift for my birthday.
Downloaded it via steam. Go to launch.
Nothing happens.
The Process begins and steam tells me I'm playing it, then about a minute later, it ends and nothing else happens.
I've tried re-downloading it, using the legacy build, reinstalling my graphics drivers, rebooting, pretty much everything I can think of.
I searched the forums and used the -novideo addendum, and that still doesn't seem to help.
No error log, no launcher, nothing.
Any ideas?
Xenonauts and piracy

I'm pretty sure most people who pirated the game and liked it would buy it during a sale or something.
Uploaders rarely keep up with the updates for a game, even AAA games. Thus, the pirated version is usually always outdated and missing features which are found in the most up to date version of the game.
It's unfortunate that people do pirate games, but, it's just the world that we live in.
