--- Comment #35 from Kimmo Myllyvirta kimmo.myllyvirta@gmail.com --- GTX980 with proprietary 375.39 (so that should not affect). Crashes also with GTX680, GTX970, and also with GTX1060 in bug #42528. Let's clarify the current situation. If you are running this game with (any?) nvidia card, the game expects to find nvapi64.dll, which exists only in staging, so; Without the nvapi64.dll, the game crashes. With nvapi64.dll; - start it in fullscreen mode, then the game complains about missing directx 10/11 compatible adapter, and crashes. - start it in windowed mode, then the game complains about "Out of game memory.", and crashes.
But then; When you fool the game to think you have some intel or AMD card with that regedit hack, the game doesn't even try to use nvapi64.dll, and starts ok. So yes, I'm pointing my finger at the stub nvapi.
