[Windows] Firo Qt starts, shows splash screen, then closes #1461

Open justanwar opened 5 months ago

justanwar commented 5 months ago

After upgrading to v0.14.13.3, some users reported that their Firo Qt wallet starts up, shows the splash screen, and then closes.

Nothing was written to debug.log.

In Registry, Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Firo\Firo-Qt exists and strDataDir value is pointing to the correct datadir.

Other information

OS: Windows 10, Windows 11

User 1 was running at a display resolution of 1024x768. User 2 was running at an unknown resolution, but reported that the create new wallet window was drawn larger than could be displayed.

Workarounds

  1. Start firo-qt.exe with -resetguisettings flag. A window will pop up asking the user to specify the datadir, and for most users selecting the default option allows for a normal startup of firo-qt.
  2. [Does not work] Start firo-qt.exe with -datadir flag pointing towards the correct datadir.
