Wallpaper Engine crash

[Apjue]

Hey,
So when starting wallpaper engine, the first time, I used a wallpaper I liked, and then the wallpaper automatically went in fullscreen mode, I couldn't open the windows menu
Second time, Wallpaper Engine is crashing...
Crash dump:

I'm on W10 1709, and I have the 17.7 AMD driver

I think the wallpaper file is corrupted on the drive or maybe even on Workshop. Can you delete this file so it stops loading it: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\wallpaper_engine\config.json

Which wallpaper is it, do you have a link?

Thanks for responding so fast, the wallpaper is https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=926930863
Deleted the file, I don't have the error anymore
Do you think the fullscreen wallpaper/windows 10 freezing can be caused by a corrupted wallpaper ?
(Also, I said that I couldn't open the windows menu, it's true for the windows key, but the windows button on my second screen also did nothing)

The mdmp was showing that the program crashed while loading this file, I can load it on my end though. I think the wallpaper might be broken on your drive, but it's not broken on Workshop at least.

Wallpaper Engine was also set to use OpenGL (the graphics API option), I generally wouldn't recommend it because Microsoft, Nvidia and AMD put higher priority on Directx 10/11, so that will work best. If you still have the other issues you could try this: http://steamcommunity.com/app/431960/discussions/2/1473095331509794520/ and then maybe that gives a clue why they happen/happened.

Oh, I messed up a bit the settings yeah
So, I deleted the config.json and the graphics API was DirectX11. When loading the same wallpaper I still have the same error.
I followed the debug steps, and here's the file: https://pastebin.com/GMACzTdn

Do you know if Steam re-downloaded the wallpaper file? It might not, because it doesn't immediately delete it when you unsubscribe.

Could you manually delete its files (right click in Wallpaper Engine - open in explorer - delete the 3 or 4 files there) and then verify all files in Steam? This should force it to download a new copy of the wallpaper files.

I did that, ran Wallpaper Engine today, and have no crash.
Thanks for the help, it's weird changing the graphics api cause these problems though

You have a pirated, illegal version of the software.
