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.
