About Genesis Rising
Three thousand years in the future, mankind has carved a bloody path towards domination of the known universe. Self-proclaimed as a divine race and beyond reproach as a species, they view all alien races as inferior. With fleets of organic starships genetically engineered for war, humanity sets out to conquer the last remaining independent galaxy - The Universal Heart.
As Captain Iconah, you are commissioned to uncover the location and purpose of the Heart. Take command of a living fleet, altering your starship's DNA in real-time as you grant them new and powerful abilities. The Universal Crusade has just begun!

[h1] There's infestation of bad games in my library! [/h1]14 found this helpful
Tough one to get running. Yet A GEM once you do. Win 11 here required EVERY FIX available in the forums. I had to download the Exe replacement off GoogleDrive, and UNPACK all the Zip files in the WORLDS forlder before I got the joy. Also game ONLY runs PERFECTLY for me aspect ratio wise at 720p. Still even with all these issues THE GAME IS WORTH IT :) an overlooked classic IMO only reason it gets such bad reviews is due to how hard it is to get running for many people I am a computer expert though, and it took me about 45 minutes of work. Then another 30 minutes to get the screen resolution perfect (basically just figuring out which is native). unpack the ZIP files in the WORLDS folder https://drive.google.com/open?id=1W-jLYoSZjyEwAtImXDGxGObbs2p0litK ACTUALLY GAME CRASHES AFTER TUTORIAL LEVELS...and even though I invested about an hour and a half straight trying massive fixes, it still choked on me there from my save-file. So sadly, I have to pass this one on to the failure bin as I REFUSE to waste anymore time faffing around without a clear idea of what is causing the crashes. Believe me I tried like 30 adjustments and loads. One one barely got through!5 found this helpful
"NOT ENOUGH MEOMORY" Yes... that last part is misspelled, and yes, this is the crash window popup i got. Expect to see it too if you buy this drm protected gem2 found this helpful

I played this years ago, and have been itching to get back into it again. It would seem I'm running into the same issues y'all having - can't get it to run. "There has been an error executing application. If you press abort, mini dump file will be created in Z:\var\home\me\.local\share\Steam\steamapps\common\GenesisRising\bin." (Press retry to debug using debugger) The missing folder issues seems to be fixed - they are there. I do not think Steam should be selling a non-working game; seems like fraud to me.
Cannot run on Windows 11, not even with compability mode
