HELP NEEDED - PCSX2 Crashes after start up on Windows 11

[brylupin]

Title says it all. I am only able to get to the part where it says "ADD GAME DIRECTORY" When I click on it, the app freezes for 3-5 seconds then it crashes.

Do you have OldNewExplorer running in the background? If so, uninstall it before running pcsx2. I believe other programs have also been reported to cause the same issue but I can't say for sure. You'll have to go through some of your open apps and try killing them until you find the one causing the problem

are you using oldnewexplorer or some shell replacement ?
what are your specs ?

[brylupin]

Hello, I haven't tried anything yet. How do I check if I have oldnewexplorer or any shell replacement?

[jesalvein]

I f you don't know, then you probably didn't install it.
We'll still need your specs

you don't have any real GPU ? only the igpu ?

[brylupin]

Ihave RTX 3050

[jesalvein]

alright. update all your drivers, then (gpu and igpu)
in case you don't know, don't do it via windows update, of course

[brylupin]
