BTW, I've been having the same issue but what fixed it was changing the High DPI settings for the EXE 1- Right click the 3DXchange exe file and choose 'properties' 2- Go to the Compatibility tab then click on the High DPI settings button 3- Tick the override option at the bottom then select 'System (Enhanced)
I'm having the same problem too. Used to work 3 months ago, now only works if nvidia driver disabled. Pain in the neck.
I hope this helps everyone as it fixed my issue. For me turns out all the complicated advice from people didn't work. I had installed the latest GTX 10 series driver off Nvidia's website (as you should) and to keep my computer clean of bloatware for gamers I unchecked Geforce Experience software every time I installed or re-installed the drivers. That was the problem... Installing Geforce Experience along with the updated drivers (I did a clean driver install) fixed the crash on startup issue.
I'm having the same exact issue with the trial version so I decided not to purchase until I confirm this has been resolved. System Info: Windows 10 Pro, i7-7820X CPU 3.6GHZ, Nvidia Geforce GTX 1080 Ti, 64GB DDR4 Ram 2666MHz, 1 Terabyte Samsung SSD 960 Pro, 1000 Watt Power Supply.
I'm having exactly the same problem. Splash screen, for a sec, then nothing. Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700HQ CPU. Nvidia Geforce GTX 1070 graphics card. updated driver. tried the dpi scaling setting to no avail.
