[1.1.80] Instant Crash On Startup

Post by PhantomDancer28 »

Hello, when I try to launch the game, it instantly goes into the error message, and doesn't even show the loading screen. I have:
Restarted my laptop, Updated graphics card drivers, & Restarted again, and it still happens.

Not sure what could cause this, I briefly looked through the forums, and it looked like most people were seeing crashes when trying to load a save, not the actual game. I have Space Exploration and a few other mods downloaded, I'm certain they were not enabled last time I played though. Let me know if you need any other diagnostic files.

Thanks!

Try completely removing and reinstalling your graphics driver.

As far as I can tell from my testing, it doesn't have to do with my drivers per say. I got the game to launch with no issues when my MUX position didn't swap, however when it automatically changes from my APU --> GPU when launching, it crashes. However, it does not crash when it does not swap, regardless of if my system is running off of the APU or GPU at that time. It could still be the drivers, so I'll look for a way to uninstall/reinstall them, I've never done that though so I'm not sure of the process.
