Crash on start for Dark Souls 3

[tylermast]

When including DINPUT8.DLL in the DS3 game directory, the program crashes on load. The game can start up until the point where I get a white screen then a black screen. Once it reaches the black screen the program crashes. I haven't heard of anyone having this kind of issue but I'm not sure what steps to take to troubleshoot.

Which version of ds3 and windows?

Windows: 10 Pro Version 1607 OS Build 14393.1715 Dark Souls 3: Current Patch (1.15R1.35) after clean install I have also attempted to use it on 1.12R1.31 as well to no avail.

Did you get DS3NoLogoMod_v1.15.zip or DS3NoLogoMod_v1.15b.zip? The first release did have a crash issue.

1.15b crashes as well

If you are able to enable WER that would help. I'm guessing this might be a system configuration issue.

Is this what you're looking for?

There should likely be a crash dump in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportArchive.

After reviewing the error report myself I noticed that Razer software was attempting to hook into the game as well. Disabling Razer Synapse's In-Game statistics function has fixed the problem.
