Crash after a few runs #79

Thanks again for this project, it seems really awesome! Unfortunately after messing with it for a week or so, I can no longer run the simulation. it opens a window, and immediately exits. I've tried running from the shell with the -d flag. Here's the output from log.txt:

2023-10-07 18-30-13: DEBUG mode 2023-10-07 18-30-13: set windowed mode

Maybe there's a way to reset the config? I tried a 'repair' from the installer, as well as a complete uninstall and reinstall. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

You could delete the registry entries for the program settings (search for "ALIEN" in regedit). These settings are currently not deleted by the installer.

It seems that it crashes on your system when ALIEN starts in windowed mode. Could you please send me the registry entries before you delete them (for example by copying or a screenshot)? Which resolution and windows content scale do you use?

I reinstalled the CUDA toolkit, and that seemed to level it out. I think my libraries where wonky.
