Angelwolf Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 I seem to get an error message whenever I try to start Leadwerks 4.6 from Steam. Often I get a popup reading: Clicking OK causes the box to disappear and aborts the launch. Sometimes I'll get the below: Clicking OK causes the box to disappear and aborts the launch. Occasionally I'll manage to load into my project and get the below error: Clicking OK exits Leadwerks. I have since installed OpenAL though it wasn't really causing trouble anyway. Starting Steam as administrator allows Leadwerks to launch normally, but I shouldn't have to do this. Any idea what's happening? I don't seem to have trouble with any other software (that I know of) so I'm hoping I can rule any hardware faults out. Visual C++ Redistributables all up to date and installed. Windows is all up to date (aside running Windows 11). I've tried removing C:\Users\USER\Documents\Leadwerks\Leadwerks.cfg and this allows me to access the project manager, but then I get the Exception Access Violation error again when loading into a project. My drivers are all up to date. I've also tried using different versions of Leadwerks (via the Beta options) and they each give me the same problems. I've also verified game files and also uninstalled and reinstalled Leadwerks.

Josh Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 If it works as admin but does not otherwise it sounds like a file access problem. Are you doing anything funny with your Documents folder or Windows settings? Quote My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without.

I did change my account name a few months ago but it seems the documents folder retains the same name that was previously set up on Windows install Quote My Games: Nightmare Prism:::WolfTale:::Dungeon Creeper:::Despair of Ordinary Men:::Piano Simulator 2016:::House (W.I.P) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think the user account you are using maybe can't access the old Documents folder? Quote My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without.
