Home ShaderMap 4

Crash on 4.1.4.0 version

Hi there,

have recently downloaded the latest version(4.1.4.0) from the site,

after installation I tend to open the app,
everytime I launch it no mather what setting I use,
"run as admin","using compability settings","etc"
it start as a fully white window, wait for a second or two,
then close without any warning.

I used to run the version3 on my previous windows10 but after reinstalling the latest version of the windows
neither SM3 nor SM4 doesnt start anymore.


I've deleted the SM4_1 file from app data, (read from other post)
but nothing happened at all.

this is the log:
+ "Application Initialization" - wWinMain() shadermap.cpp:258
	+ "Create Application Window" - wWinMain() shadermap.cpp:271
	-
	[** WARNING ** "Open File Failed"] "Failed to open options file." - shadermap_options::load() shadermap_options.cpp:1277
	+ "Initialize Direct3D" - wWinMain() shadermap.cpp:535
	-
	+ "Initialize Resources Pre-Splash" - wWinMain() shadermap.cpp:561
	-
	+ "Initialize Splash" - wWinMain() shadermap.cpp:582
	-  

please help ;(
thanks a lot

  • Hi,

    Let's see if we can get things fixed.

    1. Uninstall ShaderMap 3 and 4 from your system using Apps and Features (right-click Windows Start Icon)

    2. Delete the AppData folders:
    C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Roaming\SM4_1
    C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Roaming\SM4
    C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Roaming\SM3

    3. Delete the Documents folders:
    C:\Users\Neil\Documents\ShaderMap\SM4_1
    C:\Users\Neil\Documents\ShaderMap\SM4
    C:\Users\Neil\Documents\ShaderMap\SM3

    4. Delete any files left over in the Program Files folders:
    C:\Program Files\ShaderMap 4
    C:\Program Files\ShaderMap 3

    5. Install ShaderMap 4.1

    Let me know how this works.

    Kind regards,
    Neil
  • Thanks Neil
    I appreciate your help

    I did uninstall both apps and removed their related folders,
    then I reinstalled the app and its extra components (DirectX and etc) using the default settings,
    unfortunately nothing happens again ;(

    the main log is the same

  • Have you tried to update your video drivers? SM3 and SM4 don’t share any file space whatsoever (only DirectX / VC++) so for them to both stop working at the same time suggests that the issue might be with your system. I would start with rebooting your system once, trying to start SM4 again, then updating your graphics drivers.

    Keep me updated,
    Neil
  • Thanks a lot Neil for your great support, I really appreciate it :blush:

    Unfortunately updating my graphics card driver didn't fix it,
    but closing MSI Afterburner did.

    these two apps apparently have conflicts with each other,
    so by just closing "MSI Afterburner" and "Riva Tuner" as one of it's components, the problem got fixed.

    Thanks again for all the time and effort you spent on helping me :)
