[Stańczyk]

i'm having the same issue so is their anybody know how to fix this

[sjakkalul18]

Same
maybe an update can fix it?

[PsychoKick]

Game freezes on launch with black screen. Can only exit by using ctrl-alt-delete to switch to Task Manager. After that I get a Windows dialog box with the message "wilson.exe has stopped working".

EDIT: On the black screen the mouse cursor is present as the Windows system hourglass. Moving the cursor around reveals an area where the cursor reverts to a normal pointer. Clicking around this area eventually forces the application to quit.

Control+Alt+Delete, sign out of profile, sign back in, re-launch the game in admin and it should work.

Hey friend,

I had the same issue. You're most likely missing a dependency if you're on Windows 10.

Try going here and downloading the Media Feature Pack:

Hope it helps!

PSA: If your game is crashing on startup...

... you're most likely missing a dependency (if you're on Windows 10). In my case, I was missing the Windows Media Feature Pack, which many other games utilize. I forgot to re-download it when I reset my computer.

Here is a link:

Hope this helps!

How did you find out what you are missing?
I have Windows 7 and the game does not work for me

[TheNecroswanson]

Nah, all three said they weren't applicable to my version of windows.
10 Home 64 bit, version 1803 btw. Tried the one for my system first, installer said it wasn't applicable. Tried other two cause you never know. Same thing.
Port's just bad right now.

Yeah same to me, i'm on Windows 7 and NOT THE N version.
N version is only for some European or Korean user that have their features media cut because of legal issues.

Hey all,

Another option is to go to your game's folder and launch the executable, wilson.exe, as an administrator. It will hopefully ding a Windows error message saying that you're missing "(something).dll". Do some research on the dll, download, install, and restart. Hopefully this will give you guys some idea on how to solve a dependency issue.

according to PCGAMINGWIKI:

Issues unresolved • Link
White screen/crash on startup • Link

Some users are currently reporting a neverending white screen, black screen, and/or crash upon launching the game.[8]
Early tests indicate that this crash occurs in Exclusive Fullscreen mode.[9]

Play in Windowed or Borderless mode[9]

Navigate to the Configuration file(s) location.
Open mwcxd.ini with a text editor (for example, Notepad).
Find Mode and set the number value to 1 (Windowed mode) or 2 (Borderless Fullscreen mode).
Save and close the file.

Those who have the game worked, upload the mwcxd.ini because in mine it didn't generate.

Unfortunately it just boots the game up and crashes immediately requiring me to sign out of windows to close it, just as the regular way does.
It's not a dependency issue. It's a broken port issue.

[John27]

if those of you have the game working, check the game file folder, and then upload mwcxd.ini
supposedly those who don't work have issue on fullscreen mode.
by setting it to borderless or windowed it will work.
however if the game didn't run, mwcxd.ini won't generate
so please if the game works...
