Hi, I've just downloaded new artifact-test_win and it fails to start. While a version artifact-win.zip is working
All the files are packed into resources.neu.
Since it sounds like you are able to successfully launch the older version, I am assuming you have a 64-bit system and are using either Windows 10 or 11.
- If your Windows username contains any special characters, that will cause the app to crash on launch.
- You can also open a command prompt and type
cd [EnterFullAppFolderPathHere (e.g. C:\Users\MyUsername\Desktop\Windows)]
start Artifact
And that may show an error if it fails to launch. - An Antivirus or Windows Defender could also be blocking it from launching, so it may help to check the quarantine logs and/or add an exception for Artifact. Perhaps even running the app as Administrator, though it shouldn't be necessary.
Hopefully something here works, but for now I am continuing to look into this issue for other possible causes or solutions.
