Windows

Screenshots of crash/graphical issue, version and options menu

Recently, on starting Path Of Building, the application opens for 5-6 seconds, with a black screen, before closing. I've launched both from a desktop shortcut, as well as from navigating to the "Path of Building.exe" from the install location (%AppData% folder).

Looking at previous, closed issues regarding PoB crashing on startup, I tried reinstalling PoB, but to no avail. I've also tried the two steps from Wires77 in #8677. When I check my Windows Event Viewer, I see an application error for Path of Building, with "faulting module name: ucrtbase.dll". However, when I look for my "SimpleGraphic" folder, there isn't a "SimpleGraphic.cfg" file, just a folder containing Fonts.

Previously, Path of Building has launched/ran without issue for me, so I'm not sure if this is related to the most recent update, or something else.

What are your system specifications and configuration?

Windows 10.

How to reproduce the issue

  1. Run "Path of Building.exe" either from a desktop shortcut, or navigating to the "Path of Building Community" folder location.
  2. Program launches with a black screen for 5-6 seconds.
  3. Program crashes.
