Crash on startup v0.21 (Fixed - if you have an ipad read)

[El-Diablito]

Upon clicking "ok" in the settings/startup screen my screen goes black (or a black window comes up if in windowed mode) and I get the standard "The game has crashed please do what I'm doing right now".

I have installed directx9, physx.

gfx card is: XFX Radeon HD 5870 1GB GDDR5 PCI-Express 2.0, 2xDVI-I, HDMI, DisplayPort, 765MH.
OS: Win7 64 bit Ultimate ENG

I have gone through every step on the known bugs and fixes with no results.

All that said, I am no computer wizard so don't rule out "wtf, how could you do/not do that you idiot?" on the user end as a possible problem.

PS. Thanks for making my dream game, it may not work but I bought it all the same (because it will work even if I have to buy a new computer).

Then let me quote from the about section:

"You are not the chosen one. You're not great and powerful. You don't have more 'hitpoints' than everyone else. You are not the center of the universe, and you are not special. Unless you work for it."

Now let me quote myself, every time a new game has come out the last ten years:

"Why the fuck do I always have to be 'mister save the godamn world' or 'The chosen one', why the fuck can't I just be a young peasant with ambition or a poor hedge knight looking to become the evil tyrant of a small land holding?!"

Seriously, fuck these godamn "epic" conclusions and just give me a simulated world where I can be a total bastard and a minor noble of no special significance.

Fixed it!

Turns out there is a compatability error between the newest ATI drivers, an ipad app called "Air viewer" and the game.

Air viewer basicly turns your ipad into a third screen for your computer wia wifi, however the newest ATI drivers thinks this screen is present even when you aren't running the software (despite not listing your ipad/air viewer on the settings screen).

Kenshi identifying it as a third screen was how I found out it was even happening, what exactly caused the glitch I don't know but if you have an ipad then any apps/software you have installed to make it function as a monitor for your computer could be the problem.

Solution: Uninstall the app related software on your pc and reboot.
