NoodleManagerX Does not launch at all on windows 11.

[ttrudeau83]

Launching it brings up a window title bar but that is all. Clicking it lets the user know the app has crashed and to close it.

Can you check if there is a log and send it to me?

• Press windows key + r
• Enter %appdata% and press OK
• Open the NoodleManagerX folder

Same problem here...
Log:
"Loading Settings from C:\Users\xxxxxx\AppData\Roaming\NoodleManagerX\Settings.json"
But there isn't any json file created at the folder.

@matheusferreira

Is there a settings file in the same folder? If yes, delete it

[matheusferreira]

No, the only file on appdata is the log itself.

[tommaier123]

Sorry, I misread your message. It's not a problem if there is no settings file, then it will just use the defaults.
Is "Loading Settings from ..." the only thing in the log?

[matheusferreira]

I deleted the previous log file, and tried again. Now there is a new error (before there wasn't any).

No idea what is this Max for the user lol.

[tommaier123]

It is trying to read the registry but that is only valid if you are using the PC version fo Synth Riders. But that shouldn't cause any issues.
I'm Max, that is just the path that it saves for the debugging symbols.
But yea, looks like you are having the same problem as ttrudeau83
Since in your case it stops at a different point it is most likely something that is running in the background and never completes.
I'll have build a version with more debugging outputs for you to try.

@matheusferreira as a workaround running in windows 8 compatibility mode and with admin privileges seems to work.
