Summary0004911: Crash on startup
DescriptionGame crashes immediately when I run executable.

It was running fine and the only thing I can think of changing on my machine is I installed another game (Terraria off Steam) that required .NET 4.

I have tried deleting saves, deleting all DF files and extracting from zip again, running vanilla and Ironhand's full pack and every time it crashes immediately.

Have you been able to get DF to launch?

No luck getting game to run. I'll check for any Windows Updates when I get home tonight on the off chance that it would fix things.

Still no dice. Menu pulls up, music starts, crash.

I took it that the game didn't execute at all - but you state the menu comes up and music starts. You also state that it worked fine before changes on your end. If you undo the changes prior to it not working (.NET4), does it work? Also, if it is crashing at music, it certainly sounds like perhaps a driver is outdated.

No updates from OP. Unable to reproduce and we'll assume it was a system problem, not a game problem.
