Kenshi keeps crashing

[Benriya]

Today i bought a game on steam. Installed it and tried to run, but it keeps crashing. Checking integrity doesn't show anything broken, reinstalling dx9 etc, hasnt helped too.

Could you post your PC's specs as well? Namely, CPU model, amount of RAM, and GPU model. That might be of great help.

[Benriya]

i5-4460, 16gb ram, GTX 970 4Gb.

Ok, that doesn't seem like an issue. I assume you haven't had any previous Kenshi installations in the same folder, right? If not - only thing that's left to do is to summon your patience and wait till someone from the devteam look into your dump file. And they most likely will at some point

[Benriya]

it had been first time installation. Anyway i can't refund it becouse i bought it via g2a so only what is left is patience. Hope my english isnt that bad xd

try opting into the experimental branch.
your issue may have already been fixed in the newer versions.

[Benriya]

I had tried, but didnt fixed it

[Hatsune_Neko]

well teh Dves ahvnt looked at the file yet
so nto sure if this will help you or not

try uninstalling again throu steam. move your saves and any mods you created to a safe folder outside Kenshi main folder.

go back to the Kenshi directory, then delete the entire thing
then reinstall the game. preferably on a different drive if you can.
then try running the game again after reinstalling and moving your saves and any mods you may have created back to their original folders.

Tried this 10x times already, nothing helps

[Hatsune_Neko]

then only thing can do
is wait for the Devs to look over your crashdump.

Just checking you did install the stuff in the dependencies folder. It is failing to load the renderer plugin which usually means the specific directx runtime the game needs is not installed.

[Benriya]

Yes, installed everything from dependencies. No result

[someone]

Doesn't help that the error message is in in polish with half the characters garbled. I think I have figured out what it is trying to say.
Try installing this: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downloa ... px?id=8109
It looks like the version in dependencies is missing the 64bit version of the runtime and is therefore completely useless.

[Benriya]

Still doesn't work , i had reinstalled everything once more , directx, kenshi, all dependencies, and this file from link without a good result.

[someone]

That is odd. The error is reporting that a dependency is not valid.
Can you perhaps try using this tool: http://www.dependencywalker.com/ to open RenderSystem_Direct3D11_x64.dll. It should list all the required dependencies and whether any are missing or invalid.

[Benriya]

Lots of red errors O.o
So i need to manually download them or is there easier way?

[someone]

Hmm, I believe dependency walker can save the session, can you give me that.

[Benriya]

Don't know if it is what u wanted.

[someone]

Looks like the problem is D3DCompiler_43.dll. It is part of the june 2010 directx redistributable I linked earlier. No idea why it didn't install.
Perhaps install it manually, it is located in the Jun2010_D3DCompiler_43_x64.cab of that download and needs to go in windows/system32

[Benriya]

It worked! Thanks a lot for helping me out It was hard way, at least for me xD
