Standalone wont run in Win10 64 bit

The past 2 versions (3.4.3 and 3.4.4) wont run in standalone mode. It runs fine inside the DAW but when i click standalone— nothing happens.

Just bumping this post, as I see no one has chimed in to possibly help. I’m on macOS, so can’t really offer much. Maybe @exBFD_Drew can assist? Any other Win users?

I’d need more information, and a crash log if there is one. In situations like this, it can be useful to clear out all BFD program files, and re-install.

Hi, is this any use? I have already tried removing all .dll and then reinstalling.

Hi
I installed removed from my PC and then installed .the previous version and it runs in standalone without issue. I then applied the patch to the latest version and it wont work in standalone again.

Thanks Murt. I suspected as much (its a general issue) and yes it works in the DAW ok.
It looks like BFD3 is not being given the resources it needs anymore by the new owners. I would adivse anyone now to get SD3 instead of BFD3. Shame really.

Have you tried looking in the Windows Event Viewer to see if you can find errors associated with the problem? Check under Windows Logs > Application and look for the exact time you tried to launch BFD3 stand-alone. The info can be a little cryptic but it can help figure out what’s causing the problem.
