Picked up this game on sale a while back with the intention of playing it soonish. I picked up a Razer Blade Stealth with the 1650, and this would be the perfect game to play while on the go.
However, it crashes instantly on launch. Sometimes I get the initial screen with the thanks message, but usually not.
Did a ton of researching, reviewing logs, etc. I came across one obscure random thread mentioning Galaxy64.dll (the crashing DLL in my logs). I went into the Kingmaker folder and renamed it to something else. Launched again. Got same error, for a different Galaxy64.dll. Renamed that one as well.
Success! Game got past the thanks screen and started loading. But alas, now it sits at the Kingmaker logo (after loading the yellow bar) and does nothing. My gaming PC it works fine, it gets to the games menu.
Other things I've tried/additional info:
Fresh Windows install.
Repair/verify files.
Disable GPU's (one at a time)
Closing all other software.
OS and all drivers are up to date.
Removed registry entries.
Edited registry for border-less windowed settings.
Disabled cloud saves and deleted the save folders.
Installed a handful of other games that all work without issues.
Win 10 Home, instead of Pro on the desktop.
Using Gog Galaxy 2.0.
I've run out of ideas at this point. Is there something I missed or can try?
