Ok try setting the launch option to:
-force-opengl

If that doesn't work another possibility is your graphics card died. Try running this to test it:

You may also have a corrupted corrupted graphics card drivers. Try uninstalling and reinstalling those:

If you disable the DLC, does it launch correctly?

thank you for your reply, i just disabled all the dlc and launched the game as an admin, it crashed just the same... also i have A LOT of folders that have like an error report, i think the game creates one each time it crashes because each folder its named after the date in which the game crashed.

Can you post a copy of the crash report? There is an 'upload file' button when you post.

There is a problem with D3D11, it isn't loading right. D3D11 is a library for graphics stuff. Do you have a modern graphics card? If so try updating the drivers.

Try this: Right click on Endless Space 2 in your Steam library, go to Properties and put this command in the startup settings:

-force-d3d9
