I haven't played this game in a few years and after a recent upgrade I thought I'd play it again (it was a crazy fun game!). Instead, I've found that the game doesn't work at all. When launching the game, it brings up an empty white window for a brief second then crashes with "HKShip.exe has stopped working".
System specs:
- Win10 build 15025
- i7-6700k
- 16GB RAM
- GTX1080, driver 378.49
- 3 x 1080 monitors @ 120hz (running on single monitor in windowed mode)
What I've tried:
- Deleting game and reinstalling
- Verified integrity of local files
- Enabled/disabled HD Texture Pack DLC
- Run HKShip.exe from game folder folder as Administrator
- Run HKShip.exe in Win7 and XP compatibility modes
- Setting game properties in NVIDIA control panel for single display
- Disabled any "advanced" settings (filtering, cache, MFAA, etc) in NVIDIA program settings
- Confirmed Intel IGPU disabled in BIOS
- Manually ran D3D11Install_2010.exe and vcredist_x86.exe from redist folder
- Confirmed DEP set to "essential Windows programs and services only"
- Disabled Windows 10 XBox Game DVR
- Disabled NVIDIA GeForce Experience Share game streaming
- Disabled Touch Keyboard and Handwriting Panel Service
