**** Crash! ****

[WhatIsSol]

Game works in Windows 11 since that is what I currently run it in for the Wargammer, GoG, and Steam windows versions. This is either a video driver or audio driver issue.

If you use bluetooth headset or speakers disconnect them, start the game, and then reconnect them. If you have multiple audio outputs disable all but one.

I have also heard of accounts where certain vendor software for audio would cause a startup crash.

Otherwise I would make certain u have the latest audio/video drivers. Might be helpful if you could say which video/audio you have?

In all past cases of this it has been an audio issue.

[frostnads]

Thanks @WhatIsSol!

Updated Video driver to most current available yesterday. Radeon VII. The error log posted above is after the update, but was getting an identical error prior to updating.

The audio driver is current and was updated earlier this month, but will check tonight for an additional update. However, I doubt MOO has updated audio driver requirements in Years.

Did NGD Studios or Wargamer abandon support for MOO?

[frostnads]

Looks like FMOD is audio related https://fmod.com/
"FMOD is the solution for adaptive audio"

[frostnads]

Oh, and I removed all Steam Mods prior to crash

[WillieSea]

Did you verify game files via steam after removing mods?

W11 is way too unstable with games past and present for me to make that switch.

[frostnads]

@WillieSea Great Idea! Thanks
Nope, I verified files then removed all the mods! I will try ASAP.
