Issue with Godot 3.5.1 not starting on Windows 10 | Godot Café | Page 1

Hey, I've been having a problem with Godot not starting unless I restart my computer on Windows 10. The problem is that I boot off of a really big and slow HDD so it's not always practical for me to restart my PC if I only have a few minutes to tinker around in the engine. My question is; has anyone figured out what is causing the issue and/or a workaround for it? Thank you for taking the time to read my post!

I've tried reinstalling and I just tried compiling from source. So far nothing besides restarting has worked.

swift compass Verbose/debug mode output?

I'm not really sure how to turn that on.

swift compass Verbose/debug mode output?

Whenever I create a dump file it's talking about "Failure ID hash" when I run analyze -v (which I assume means verbose?)

It definitely looks like it's throwing some kind of exception. I am just not knowledgeable enough to read it. It might possibly have to do with hid.dll?

This is what happens when I run Godot with the --verbose flag.

@torn beacon what about a log in user data directory

#

If its an old slow drive, you might have some corrupt filesystem stuff going on. Try running sfc /scannow from a command prompt

#

Also maybe check windows event viewer to see if it has any info if the crash is system related

#

And, if thats not helpful, if you compiled the engine yourself, you should try running it from Visual Studio if you can install it (community edition 2022 works, but it is pretty big and heavy especially for a clunky drive). But that should allow you to run godot with the debugger attached, break on the crash, but also give you the actual source code for the exception/break instead of random memory addresses and things

#

Finally, since its complaining about hid.dll, maybe try unplugging any usb devices you have connected, potentially one of them is faulty or responding in a weird way, since godot scans usb devices on boot for game controllers etc, and hid.dll is largely responsible for that stuff on windows

I ran sfc /scannow and that did not solve the issue however I have been doing some testing and I believe I have found a way to replicate the bug.

Whenever I use Ctrl+S to save my code while the game is running and then exit Godot; it will not restart until I reboot my PC. So far I am getting around it by being very careful about not saving while the game is running and it's been doing fine.

swift compass <@137313045176123392> what about a log in user data directory

I don't think it generated a log as I couldn't even get the launcher to open much less a project.
