User Info RequiredLauncher Crashing - Black screen

OmegaGorez

As soon as I start Thrones of Britannia via steam, the launch crashes instantly:


I've tried debugging, the launcher is having issues with launcher/Qt5Gui.dll, as shown in the image below:


I've tried deleting this file, the core file as well as the launcher.exe itself, then redownloaded it via steam. However, I still get this crash. I think I'll try completely removing and redownloading but if someone knows what the issue please feel free to share the fix.

Also if you need any logs or the entire stack trace please let me know.

Self-Resolved, but just to inform people running into this issue, I had many versions C++ installed on my computer over the years (2008-2017) and 32bits as well as 64bit as I've needed them for developing. To check if you have the same issue go to:
1. windows key
2. search 'add or remove programs'
3. scroll down to Microsoft Visual C++ [YEAR] Redistributable
4. If you have multiple versions remove all except the latest year and the either x86 or x64 depending if your operating system is 32bit or 64bit respectively (example below)

I have tried this and it hasn't worked for me im afraid. I have the issue where the games says its loading, but then syncs and doesn't load at all.

I have been playing shogun tw fine, however I did install atilla recently and came up with the same issues of loading and syncing.

I had the exact same issues with Attila, on the advice of a player on steam deleted the launcher file then copied and paced the Rome 2 launcher file in its stead and it worked. However, when I tried to do the same with thrones Britannia the launcher appears but thrones itself is nowhere to be found.

P.S. Is there anyway to make the launcher window bigger?

I am in the same boat as ivanblack1993.
