Sadly same result! Just flashes for a moment then gone.

I'm betting there's some dependency missing that I can't pinpoint because all my PCs have whatever it is that it needs since I use them all for my work...

I did notice once way back that it might be throwing an error code before instantly closing that you could potentially screenshot by spamming alt + printscreen while it opens. If you manage to capture that, it would be a great help, but also I do NOT expect you to go that far for me. I will continue to debug and try to reproduce the issue on my end! You've already helped a ton so thank you so much for that!

I tried to take a screen recording at 60fps (the best my recorder can do, sadly) but it never got any further along than this. 

(Sorry for the weird crop, it was hard to tell where it would pop up to record)

So I finally managed to reproduce the issue but the fix I found was still installing the .NET SDK linked in the install instructions. Once I installed .NET on the PC that it was crashing on as you described, it started working normally.

Beyond that I haven't been able to find any other reason it would crash or any potential fixes yet.

I'll leave the link to the download here just to be extra sure you got the right thing but if this didn't fix it on your end then the mystery continues to be mysterious :(

Yea, unforunately when I try to install from that link, the installer only gives me the option to repair or uninstall, so it's definitely already there :( 
I did a repair just in case but no luck, still closing.

Just as an extra measure, I asked my partner to run it and he can run it fine! The biggest thing we can find is our version of Windows is slightly different. Maybe this will help?

Mine is the 22H2 that it DOESN'T work on, his is the 23H2 that it DOES work on.

It's not impossible that that's the cause but I have no idea why that would be the case 😭

I'll cross reference these with my Windows version to see if that really is the case though!


Thanks so much for all this info you've been a huge help in trying to get this fixed!

That might be it!

I found one of my PCs with 22H2 and it is indeed crashing as you described where all of mine with 23H2 work as intended!

I'm looking into how to fix this now, fingers crossed there's something I can do about it on my end. I'm going to update the prerequisites on the page in the meanwhile.

It's finally fixed! I ended up porting the tool to Unity and completely rebuilding the interface but compatibility issues should be a thing of the past now!

I realise that this is many months later but life kinda happened and I completely forgot about this. 
I just saw you post this on XMA and remembered, so I wanted to come back and thank you for fixing this! Super happy to be able to use it in time for Dawntrail!
