Closes after start

Post by captaincajus »

I reinstalled prepare3D, did all the recommendations from the asked questions, but the program starts and then after it shows the start screen it closes after a few seconds.
I reinstalled the program twice now.
Same
Started it as administrator
Deleted the cache
Deleted all mentioned folders
Disabled all firewalls and anti virus programs
Enabled NViDIa 3 d settings
Same
RTX 3080

Program starts, shows the prepare3d screen, then the start screen. After 3 seconds it just closes.
Sometimes it stays for 30 seconds and them it closes.

Hi
Not sure if this might be your problem but Nvidia driver 465.89 and perhaps 466.11 can and is causing at least P3Dv5 to crash at the opening screen. I reverted to 461.92 and that fixed the CTD at start up. Might be worth checking
Hope this helps

The problem is in nVidia's court, they are working on it.
