				RoRLauncher not starting after Nvidia 576.02 Driver update

				Anyone else having issues getting the launcher to start after updating their Nvidia drivers to the latest version (576.02)? I'm going to do a fresh install of RoR to see if that helps. (FWIW, I am using Vulkan/Reshade/etc which could be factoring in as well)

				Disabling Vulkan by renaming the d3d9.dll fixed the launcher issue. Going to try redoing the Vulkan installation process to see if that helps.

				Did a fresh install, ran normally. Added the Vulkan `d3d9.dll` and `dxvk.conf` and launcher stopped launching. 
I'm not going to bother trying to rollback the driver for now. I'll just play without Vulkan.

				most likely some sort of nvidia driver bug then.
you can try adding this to dxvk.conf
Code: Select all
[RoRLauncher.exe]
d3d9.shaderModel = 1
maybe it works around the issue but not sure. 
Works fine here on Linux with nvidia 575.51.02 drivers (linux drivers have usually 1 or 2 numbers lower, but they are usually the same shared driver,  just dfferent numbering. driver released Wed Apr 16, 2025)

I appreciate the suggestion! I tried that out yesterday (both with/without certain settings in `dxvk.conf` to no luck.
