TL;DR: Help us test a beta that might fix startup issues. Beta: "graphics-init2". Let us know if this fixes/introduces startup crashes or issues with other apps Hey y'all! Some of you have been unable to launch Tiny Glade due to startup crashes Many of those were due to outdated or faulty drivers, and reinstalling the drivers helped We've been chasing the other crashes, and very often it turns out to be some overlay application, FPS counter, or video capture thing. Those apps inject themselves into Tiny Glade, and cause crashes. Due to buggy uninstallers, sometimes they break our game long after they've been uninstalled from your systems. Other games might still work for you, but games using Vulkan are likely all affected. We've been selectively blocking those rogue apps, but their list just keeps growing, and we can't keep up This is why we've decided to block everything by default, with the exception of OBS and Valve's software. Worry not, you'll still have the option to re-enable what you need. (Also please note that we're not modifying any of your programs - we're only asking the graphics driver not to inject all those extensions into Tiny Glade) We're going to roll this out soon, but we'd love if you could help us test it. What we're looking for is whether this helped you with any crash. And if the default demo runs for you, but this beta crashes, please let us know as soon as possible Oh, and please also poke us if this causes Tiny Glade not to cooperate with some major video recording or broadcasting software. To opt in to this beta, right-click Tiny Glade Demo in your Steam Library, select Properties, and then under Betas, choose "graphics-init2 - test blocking Vulkan hooks". If the beta is not visible, you may need to restart Steam. You should see "DEMO v.1.4.0 BETA" in the top-right corner of your screen while running this beta. Love, Tom & Ana
