PR crash to desktop after update

[DogACTUAL]

After Windows 10 forcibly installed the Windows 10 Anniversary Update on my PC, PR now crashes to desktop everytime when i start it (after login while launching the game), with the typical cleaning up resources window after the crash.

I know there are a lot of threads about the startup ctd already but since this seems to be related to this new update i thought it might be better to make a specific thread about it.

I already tried the directx9 and the NET Framework install to no avail.

Please help, i have to keep playing PR ;-;

Try updating your GPU drivers. It's been causing issues for other DX9 games for some reason.

Updated them now but it still crashes.
Any other possible fix?

Thanks for your help.

same happened to me had to rollback to previous build of windows 10 to get pr working

Is anyone looking into this? It seems like this is new and different than the other crashes since it is related to the Windows 10 Update, can you please find out what exactly is causing this?

A lot of people that have the same OS will probably have this exact issue as soon as they get the update too,
which warrants its own investigation to find the exact cause and how to fix it.

Reverting to the previous OS version is not a good solution since it will eventually compromise the security of the PC, since not updating will mean that known backdoors can be exploited if they do not get closed by future updates.

Can you please look for a solution, i would do it myself but i am not very computer savvy, therefore need help from an expert.

I use Windows 7 SP1 WITHOUT ANY UPDATE! And i still feel safe about "backdoors".

Hello, have the same problem. It worked perfectly untill the Win10 1607 update.

By the way, Windows log reports for the problem:

In case you unexpectedlly don't read russian , the problem with RendDX9.dll. It seems there were some problems with the dll in the past.

Could any recommend the solution?

Installed it but it still does not not work.

The second strange point is that PR works properly NOT in fullscreen mode (defined in PRLancher/options). It works stable and fast. However the attempts to start in fullscreen causes the programm crash.

Yes, same for me, no crash with windowed mode but i can not play it that way, in another thread about aspect ratio i made a while ago i already discovered whenever i run windowed and not fullscreen i can not make it fit to the edge of my screen or run borderless, parts of the game will be cutoff and the UI will be all messed up, for example i can not click the buttons in the ingame menu and therefore can not join a server. It has something to do with the aspect ratio of my screen (2560x1080) and my computers inability to run PR in 1920x1080 without distortion.

So running it in windowed mode is not an option for me.
