First, I apologize for opening a new thread without understanding the rules. I've noticed your message and tried it, but the game still won't launch—even after using DLL names from 1 to 7, none of them worked. Strangely, any version higher than 0.7.7-pre9_Daria simply doesn't work for me. Once I realized I'm not the only one facing this, I truly hope this issue can be resolved, as I really want to use the new version of OptiScaler. I'd sincerely appreciate any further assistance—if you need more details or logs from me, please let me know. Thank you!

Hi,

This is such an odd case. None of the devs can replicate this issue so I will ask you to provide as much info as you can provide.

Logs, crash dumps, error messages from games. Need to find a correlation to understand the source.

Oh also do you guys have Epic Games installed? One user reported that uninstalling solved a similar issue (such an odd case)

Hello, I haven't installed Epic Games. For now, I can only provide the log generated after I click to launch a game on Steam and it fails, as there are no error pop-ups appearing for any game. Please let me know how I can provide the specific files and information you need—I sincerely hope we can pinpoint and resolve the issue together. Due to time differences, I may not be able to respond right away, so I appreciate your understanding. Thank you!

@cdozdil @TheRazerMD Hello, do you have some time recently to take a look at the issue we've been experiencing? I've also tried the latest version 0.9.0-pre5 (20251106), but the game still won't launch. I sincerely appreciate your help—thank you!
