Since last Windows 10 update, the game won't launch

Unread postby DrewG » Thu Jun 28, 2018 9:18 am

As the title says, I updated my windows 10 recently (against my will, thank you very much Microsoft), and now the game won't start. Won't do anything actually, the app won't even start. Just immediately gives a temp dump.

I've verified game cache, reinstalled, Run it in compatibility mode, clean install of Nvidia drivers, pretty much everything I can think of I've tried. Logmate gives a blank report too, so it's not useful. I can't seem to roll back the update.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

!*cheers*!

It sounds like the update failed to install correctly. You might Check Windows Update again.

Might be Direct X not working correctly. Check for update on this. Also have you tried rolling back to a previous driver on your video card?

I've double checked the Windows update worked correctly. Going to try going back on the Nvidia drivers. That's my best lead so far.

People are too quick to blame MS for their issues. I'm on the Windows 10 Insider program which I'm a tester for future releases to the general public of Windows 10, I have at least one update of Windows 10 a week and have only ever had one issue with TS not starting after an update which was well publicised over the internet which most people running Windows 10 and TS affected. The fault was quickly fixed by MS with an update.

Actually, I fixed it. I reverted to an earlier version of Windows 10, and it works again. Rolled back the Nvidia drivers and that did nothing, so it was definitely something to do with windows.
