Checklist

I have searched for a similar issue in this repository and did not find one.
I am using an official build obtained from releases or updated one of those builds using its in-app updater.

Describe the Bug

Hi, I have fresh new installation of shadPS4 (Qt) that I need to troubleshoot further, however there is no log output in the console window, nor is there any log files under the shadPS4 user folder.

Reproduction Steps

Install the latest Visual C++ redistributable pack
Install either shadPS4 (Qt) 0.7.0 release, 0.7.1 nightly, or bb-build (0.6.x)
Launch
The console output window is empty, and no log files are generated under log folder.

From there, launching games would result in a crash (which is something I need to troubleshoot), but without logs I'm completely out of ideas, so I'd like to tackle that first.

However: out of desperation I decided to resort to shadPS4 (SDL), it actually worked and booted into the game and it actually has log output, so this must be an issue exclusively related to the Qt builds.

PS: Not sure if this is relavant, but I'd as well attach the errors in Windows Event Viewer after crashing anyway:

出错应用程序名称： shadPS4.exe，版本： 0.0.0.0，时间戳： 0x67df3a58
出错模块名称： shadPS4.exe， 版本： 0.0.0.0，时间戳： 0x67df3a58
异常代码： 0xc0000005
错误偏移： 0x000000000053d86f

PPS: Here is my specs if that is any useful:
AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D (latest chipset driver)
AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX (latest GPU driver)

PPPS:

Expected Behavior

shadPS4 should at least generate some log for troubleshooting purposes.

Specify OS Version

Windows 11 24H2 (26100.2605)

Do you think it can be cause by your langage ?
Maybe you can try to put your system in english just for the test so we can have a better idea ?

Hi, I've cleared the log file folder (generated by shadps4-cli), changed my system language to English (United States), and also changed Administrative Language options to English (United States) too. Issue persists, shadps4 (Qt) still does not generate any log output and crash when launching games.

I've also tried launching shadps4 with Admin, however it still crashes, albeit after a longer freeze.

Just confirming that issue starter isn't the only one who have such problem. I downloaded 0.7 at first day, but it suddenly didn't start at all without providing any errors. I start exe, empty console appears and disappears, nothing else happens next. 0.6 was working fine for me.
Windows logs show this problem as attempt to read a file, but the actual path is empty, no file name as well. Error code 1005.
